As he states in his blog, his father:
is a retired Army Warrant Officer, came up through the ranks, did 3 tours in Viet Nam, the whole bit. He was raised up poor (the son of a lumberjack) the grandson of a gambler/lawman/outlaw from Arizona. Let's just say Pops is hard. And he raised me the same way.
So what can we learn from him? His language is not the most 'poetic' - you have been warned!!
Here are a few from the 20 on his list:
1) Family comes first. Period. Unless it's your mother's side of the family. Fuck those assholes.
6) Never hit a woman. While it may be permissible to shoot one on occasion, hitting one is not an option. Ever.
9) A good steak should only be turned once.
18) Respect your elders. There's a reason those fuckers are still alive, they're tougher than you.
20) The world does not owe you a living. Either work or die. I'm not supporting your ass forever.
kthanxbai!
