Thank you.

Let me clarify a bit more about pants in the military.

They ABSOLUTELY SUCKED...!!!

Pants were made/designed for training/combat activities – period. For women and men.

The pants suck for:

• women due to the various shapes/sizes of women with bodily components that vary wildly from woman to woman that even fashion designers ‘today’ cannot get right and have an accurate size across most women’s fashions (pants) from brand to brand

• men, those who are large and fat and out of shape and DO NOT do enough to get in better shape

o plus, the guys who are small and thin also have a difficult time to have decent fitting clothing, specifically pants – and most of them do not enough working out to gain or work up to a better size for a better fit.

MANY female Marines, from Treasure Island, CA to Washington, DC told me repeatedly that the pants sucked, just because of the pathetic fit. And that they actually preferred wearing the drab green, bad looking skirts. But if they had trousers that fit better, they’d wear them.

None of them brought up sexism to me as a reason – just that the pants sucked.

It seemed that only the military academy’s (West Point, Naval & Air Force – not sure about the Coast Guard) did the best with regard to fit for women and men.

.

Military pants suck, as to fit, for women AND men because the military leaders/planners did not work on figuring out how to make better fitting clothing for fat guys or women with 40DD breasts – at an economical/better looking fit for all.

It boiled down to one fit for all, which, well - is stupid as cows eating cows.

But, finally, around the early 2000s – things slowly started to change in that arena….

.

Light complected. Yep.

Most of us multi-racials in the 60s, 70s, even the 80s (and I guarantee from the 1910s through the 50s as well) grew up and had to put up with these wonderful titles from whites AND blacks (listing only a few of the very many, MANY salacious terms used against us below):

• mulatto

• Half-breed

• High yellow

.

Many did not take it too well and developed a darker personality – screwing up their own future.

A good size of us around the country decided to take it in and ignore and spit it back at the derogatory speakers by being better in whatever we did in life and how we interacted with others.

.

Finally, on the old guy thing, that was a bit of humour I threw in for a fun conversation.

I can assure everyone I am better physically, mentally and emotionally than a lot of folks in their 20s, 30s and 40s... This is due to us having a lot more lazy people in the world now - larger, fatter, softer than ever before. That is in itself, very sad.

And there are many folks (women and men) older than me who are even sharper AND smarter than folks like me. Physically, in the 'old folks' category, I am doing quite a bit better than many others in their 40s and upwards (check out the facebook pix of a few of my weight routines — facebook.com/gudguy1a). Wanna race…?

.

All in all — my own motto: Be the better person.

That is what EVERYONE should be striving for. Period.

Do not stoop to ignorance, stupidity, conspiracy or even jealousy...

Also, do not instantly jump on the fast train for first impressions without some thinking - that could be disastrous out there.
