RICHMOND, Va. — Recently-separated Army Sgt. Vince Mills has stunned the local veteran community by refusing to start his own small business selling military-themed items, according to neighbors familiar with the situation.
The furor started last week when Mills, an infantryman who deployed twice to Iraq and Afghanistan, told friends at a going-away party that he intended to join the national forest service and become a park ranger.
“It’s just a fucking disgrace is what it is,” said Ricky Valentino, a former Army supply specialist and owner of Patriot’s Delight Residential Lighting Emporium.
Flint Steel, CEO and co-founder of Angry Babykiller Infidel Apparel, was more blunt.
