  1. This gentleman deserves a medal. They also need to find the punk and set him to spending some quality time scaping, priming and repainting this guys house (whether it needs it or not). Mowing the grass, weed whacking, pulling weeds, pruning trees and pooper scooping the yard. Not to mention any other small labor intensive jobs around the house and yard as community service.
    He should also have to carry a sign out in public for a year that says ” I got pwned by a 81 year old veteran.”

  2. That was hillarious! Fist he lectured him, then he nutted him. Then for good measure, he kicked him in the teath! How do you expain THAT to your mom and dad when you get home?
    We can put this old gentlemen into the “hero” column for sure.

  3. Good public speaking is a three-part process:
    1. First, you tell ’em what you’re gonna tell ’em.
    2. Then you tell ’em.
    3. Then you tell ’em what you told ’em.
    In self defense, our hero proceeded similarly:
    1. First you tell him what you’re gonna do to him.
    2. Then you do it to him.
    3. Then you tell ’em what you did to him.
    Why this is funny to me on a Sunday morning, I don’t know. But it is.

  4. Reminds me of the time my grandmother encountered a robber with a knife at the desk of the motel she and my grandfather ran. She tore into him with a blistering Catholic/Grandma lecture that had him apologizing, leaving his knife on the counter and scampering away.
    Don’t mess with the WWII generation.

  5. I see some commenters at the referenced site question whether this really took place, since the old Marine waited 45 minutes to report it. Now, we can all see the reasonable nature of this argument, since after I kick someone in the teeth I always call the police right away.
    So to settle the issue, I’m asking all WWII vets to go out, any time this week, and kick a mugger in the nuts. Don’t hold back, guys, you know you want to. And then report it right away. If you can manage photos (or You Tube–call the grandkids for tech support), that’s all the better. But a spirited verbal after-action report would be good, too. I’m looking forward to the 9-1-1 tapes.
    And guys? Thanks.
