“Can I expunge my affiliation with the Army?”

Perhaps we should await the conclusion of the upcoming CW-II.

We all know what our military thinks about liberals, and there’s going to be a lot of payback following their incarceration.

Sad thing is: this will make it into history books. In 100 yrs, this is what will be taught to kids about our military.

That’s presuming that the liberal society can last that long. History says it cannot.

In completely unrelated news, archeologists have unearthed what they believe to be the first two gay dinosaurs and have decided to name them MEGASOREASS and LICKALOTAPUSS...no further details at this time.

Isn’t that the brown spider monkey?

The elusive but commonplace (and highly venomous) brown recluse spider sure won’t be a protected species any time soon that I can see.

“In the rear with the gear” has a whole new meaning as does the rank of Rear Admiral.

Makes me want to puke. What a disgrace they are making of the US Military. Can you imagine this happening under Reagan? Or John Kennedy?
But we know have an Obama Presidency and every good and everything decent in America must be destroyed.

That’s what socialists do: destroy. The destroyers of America have been calling the shots for a long time. Obama is the latest in a long line of America’s enemies who have been empowered to drive this country toward its collapse. Our deadliest enemies are within our borders.
