The current image... isn't very informative. The character is known to be a Vietnam Veteran from context of the movie he is in, but at a glance he could be anything. He could be a veteran of any kind of war in the seventies or even a patriotic but wheelchair bound cripple.

I'd say weak but not pullable without replacement.

Previous thread. I agree that it's weak but a Keep Until Better Image Suggested case.

Is this too text dependent? Does it matter if the image is from during the war?

This signature says something else when you aren't looking at it.

I like 9.2 as well.

Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.

The clock's past due and I'm not seeing enough consensus for anything; locking up.
