Spike was Sortilege's enamorado, right? and he's out front working on
his motorcycle with lots of pheromones emanating off of him
and Doc is engaging him in conversation
and it is revealed at some point that Spike was in Vietnam, because
isn't that where Doc goes "I always admired those who had the balls to
do that" or something equally placatory (and, like the Mickey Rooney
looking dude on the golf course, revealing a pro-Vietnam-war attitude
- or at least an insufficiently correct attitude toward it - which
shows they didn't read the Pentagon Papers...but neither have I....)
anyway, yes, ttbomk, to the best of my knowledge, Spike was in Vietnam...
so "re-up" would be spot on
