I am not familiar with the different branches of your military. The
point was that he had a cushy desk job as a spin doctor, was never in
danger and never shook a stick at the enemy.

I think Wikipedia is brilliant but quick searches for "extensive",
"contact" and "grandfather" on that page were unsuccessful so in this
instance I shall rely on what Vance himself said in his book; that his
grandfather was a violent pig of an alcoholic and that his major
influence and saviour was his equally violent but sober grandmother.
