Well done.

Following the previous [pit thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/martin-hyde-youre-a-fucking-idiot/344078/261) you linked, he plays the conservative martyr card well:

> I don’t care. This pitting was so the SDMB could crucify a conservative, you’ve had your crucifixion and I hope you all enjoyed it. Yeah that’s right, I just martyred myself. Don’t like it? Don’t care.

He doesn’t care that it’s been caught lying because it’s the libs!

Also, from another of [your links](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/if-you-could-choose-your-career-all-over-again/244525/2)

So, he could throw a major league pitch at 18, but went in as a grunt instead.

From another of the links:

> [@What was that one decision that completely changed your life around when you were young?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-was-that-one-decision-that-completely-changed-your-life-around-when-you-were-young/947708/43):

> Now, the fact that once I got in, **I didn’t get out for almost 30 years** means 17 year old me wasn’t quite accurate about my future, but that’s not what changed my life about going to the academy. What changed my life was plebe year. I was a tough Appalachian kid, **had played football, wrestled** , been in plenty of fights.

My bolding

In for 30 years or four years and then some more again? A major league baseball prospect or a football player? 220 221, Whatever it takes.
