this happened again with the Segway o' Doom, but I digress
I STILL WANT THAT T-SHIRT.
it's one of the only times we get some great Rhodey insight, that he can feel just as strongly about the army as Tones does about machines
It really is. And there's just something so sweet about the fact that Rhodey talks about the military like that when he's drunk. In fact, I'd almost venture to say that he feels more strongly the military than Tony does -- yeah, Tony is obsessed and fascinated and probably kisses his suit good night, but I'm not sure that he really honestly loves machines. I can't articulate it very clearly, but I don't think he gets that feeling of belonging. It seems like they feed more into his need for control, and his efforts to humanize the Butterfingers & Dummy and to give Jarvis a personality are kind of attempt to do that? But he's not there yet.
God, Rhodey in college, on top of a roof, drinking $100 a bottle whiskey bought by sixteen year old Tony Because He Could, would have been hilarious.
Also: it makes me want somebody who is GIFTED WITH DIALOGUE to write Rhodey, like, defending Tony to somebody (probably his Mom Rhodey) and talking about what a patriot he is.
Also: it makes me want to write about Tony trying to figure out what the names of those kids in the HumVee with him were because he feels like he ought to apologize to their parents or something, but being way, way, way too freaked out about the whole experience to ask Pepper to do it. And you know, he doesn't. Because.
