WHAT IN THE HELL WAS HE DOING GETTING MARRIED?!?!?1

The rest of the story was awesome I just wanted to smack the hell out of the kid for the marriage. Jesus it was just two years and that was girl #3. At least girl #3.

I was shocked at how young he and the other guys at basic looked. They're practically babies.

And that. I hope he got the ring back from the first girl, too, seeing as he had to finance it.

An amazing lack of BS. Pity there is no possible way for them to get a Pulitzer Prize for this.

Yeah when i started reading it I expected them to have chosen someone who would be perfect. I'm glad they showed everything, warts and all.

Or it would have turned from a documentary into a fear mongering pile of shiat.

Yes, but the photog will also shoot you while you're on Fark and you don't want that shiat out there, believe me.
