The misadventures of Greg Graham and Bobb Marly

Do you remember the adrenelin pumping action movies from the eighties? Greg and I used to watch them because he had hbo. Arnold Swartzeneger and Selvester Stalone would go in and shoot all the bad guys and blow everything up while grenades explode two feet from them and they would hardly get a scratch! WOW! What tough guys they were! We would watch those movies and think that we could whip the snot out of anything. Then we grew up and I went into the army. I got out and raised two daughters and I believe war would have been easier. Now after learning what I did in the army those exciting adreneline rush movies are comedies. Talk about a let down when I found out that grenades do way more than just spray dirt all over a person! LOL It makes me wonder what those writers were thinking back then and it makes me understand why the old vets laughed at them. But even so Greg Graham and I still believe that Steve Mcqueen is the toughest guy there was.
