Welcome to the Funvee

This is the blog of Colonel James Rhodes. You can call me Rhodey.

If I got a dollar every time I’ve heard this joke my net worth would be doubled.

Actually...

Do you have PTSD?

Considering it's taken me way too long to answer this, it's a definite possibility.

What'd you get Tony for his birthday?

A ridiculously early phone call and this card:

What's your favorite disney movie?

Robin Hood came out when I was a kid and I’ve loved it ever since. You know, that one with the fox. But since Star Wars is now owned by Disney I’ll have to think about that.

If you'd been in the cave and Yinsen hadnt but the ten rings supplied you with what was needed to do the arc reactor surgery on tony would you have done it?

If there was no one else around I would have tried my best, but I’m an engineer, not a surgeon.

Hey Rhodey, do you believe in the supernatural?

Considering I’ve had drinks with the Norse god of thunder, there really isn’t much that can surprise me these days.

Hotdogs or Hamburgers

Hamburgers. The top bun allows for way more toppings than hot dogs. I’ve done the math with bacon and cheese, trust me.

So would you rather have reckless, self-centered Tony who never had to go through the desert or anything, or the miserable but caring Tony we have now?

It was a lot easier to tell him off for being a dick than it is to convince him that he’s not personally responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocents.

*shoves harry potter books and movies at you* MARATHON!!!

Okay, okay! Just please don’t make me take any of those internet quizzes.. 

[warmacinerox68]

Don't you need use of your legs for having kids?

Technically? No. Functionally? It makes the process a little less clinical. But this is not a conversation I want to have while I’m unable to physically walk away from it.

Further update

You guys have been fantastic, I’ve had a steady stream of asks this past week and have been able to post 5 a day. Tomorrow, however, I only have 3 queued because that’s all I have. 

If you like my answers please feel free to leave me and ask or two. 

Everything’s appreciated, folks.

If you don't mind me asking: What's military like now that you are probably not fit for field jobs anymore? Do you even plan to stay there?

War Machine has been grounded for the foreseeable future, but I’m back to working weapons procurement from home while I’m stuck and bored out of my mind. Email and conference calls keep me busy enough.

and then, there’s Sam Wilson:

I don’t know how you think I’m supposed to take care of it but...

[warmacinerox68]

How did the ten rings manage to pull Tony away, with all of you guys defending him? Were you knocked out or something? Also was he conscious when he was taken, or did he pass out after getting hit?

I was in a different humvee, and there was too much cover fire to get anywhere near him. We couldn’t even tell if he was still alive. Trust me, I’ve gone over the scenario in my head for 8 years and I still can’t change a damn thing. 

[warmacinerox68]

But Colonel, if Tony never became Iron Man, who'd carry the nuke through the wormhole and save the world from the Chitari?

My money would be on Thor, but who’s to say things would stay the same if Tony never became Iron Man. I’m working on some theories.

Would you ever foster kids?

I’m assuming this goes along with the previous ask, but if I had the time and resources to raise a kid I would.
