“You aren’t concerned about your age?” I asked the soldier regarding the Fight Club.

“Oh, I am a little concerned but not that much. I plan to kick their ass in less than two minutes. I will beat them in one minute if I can.”

“One minute?”

“Yeah. Fast enough they can’t react, otherwise I could be in some trouble.”

And if that happens, what?”

“Come home and you give me a piece of meat to put on my eye,” he said.

“I have done that before,” I said. “Speedy hit you and I had to put steak on your eye.”

“Yeah, Speedy the bastard. Well do it again I guess.”

The soldier is in the gym training for his debut at the fight club as well as recovering from spending the last year + stuck in an 18 wheel truck. The other day he ran in the gym, this is something he does not do anymore for the most part due his legs.

His legs are full of shrapnel and bullet holes, never mind 200 jumps from planes into combat (Mars) will take a toll on your knees (Saturn) especially when you land like a Taurus / Rhinoceros.

“Was it good to run?” I asked as we left the gym. “Did that feel good?”

“Hell no, I hate to run. I have always hated to run. Sound pretty funny coming from someone who used to run 14 miles a day,” he said.

“Oh, I didn’t know. So why are you doing it? Is it the most efficient way to lose weight?”

“No, it’s the most efficient way to get your wind up so you can fight.”

“I see,” I said realizing the obvious connection.

“The most efficient way to lose weight is to not eat,” he added.

I just shook my head at these simple facts.

“You mean you’re not going to join that (fight) club?” I asked the soldier.

“Hell no.  I would have but then they said too much.”

“Because they want you to make a video?”

“Yeah. I’m not going to do that,” he said.

“You’re just going to go I there and pick a fight?”

“Yeah.  And I may get my ass kicked, they probably can fight.”

“Oh no. So you come home all beat up and then what?”

He shrugged. “Give me a cherry poptart?’

It’s amazing how history repeats. The soldier found a local fight club and has contacted them to join. This is from their website:

“Talk sh*t to us and you better be able to back it up, because you know we’ll fight you.”

and

“You better be able to fight or we’re going to beat your ass.”

Reading aloud, the soldier looked to be in a state of nirvana.
