An ex-girlfriend of mine was a paratrooper in nam.actually jumped in nam in the early days before it became all helicopters.
...dude was a short little fat fuck but I always walked lightly around him.
Your ex girlfriend was a paratrooper in nam in the early days? LMAO, puts her in the 60 year old catagory doesn't it? Not to mention how hardcore she must have been to pull that off back then.
But then the last line, I think clears things up quite well.
At least you got to play the "boyfriend" role.
