The men in your family were from a time when men were men.The men who fought those wars and the men who led those troops were men for the most part who learned to shoot, to hunt and fish, to wrestle and box and play sports, were Christian and moral. That ideal has been all but stamped out.Boys are taught to ‘’feel’’(which is really the concept of self-doubt).I really don’t want to be around much longer. There is something coming on the horizon and I feel it ain;t good.
Well, we won't talk about my black-sheep uncle ;-) ... but you're right about the rest of it and they did all that. They were all masculine -- not the phony macho put-on, but just normal men -- or what we would have considered "normal" for the time, traits that are being bred out of the kids today.
