"Excuse me if I say I'm not surprised," he commented on the fact that they wouldn't take him.
Stories told of those times where volunteers classified as A-4 were so devastated that they killed themselves. He wondered, briefly, if he ever met any of those heros back when he was in Service. He might have wanted to. He probably still would, although most of them were gone by now.
He didn't believe in war, he didn't believe there was a good side or a bad side, but he definitely believed that everyone fighting in the allied forces back in those days were heros.
David thought a moment on the question. He could crop up a story based on paperwork. He couldn't say he was Delta, not even here, it just wouldn't fly. He could say he was Airborne, though. Probably his last mission was in Afghanistan before he moved to Treadstone. That timeline matched up.
"You'll be happy to know that World War II was the last big devastation," but not the last war. War would never end. "I'm Airborne," a beat, "My last deployment was Afghanistan."
