Military Deterioration

The sad state of our military: I sat, as did millions of other Americans, and watched as our government underwent a peaceful transition of power last January. At first, I felt a swell of pride and patriotism as I watched George W. Bush take his oath of office. However, all that pride vanished as I watched William Jefferson Clinton board Air Force One for the final time. I saw 21 US Marines in full dress, with rifles, fire a 21-gun salute to the outgoing president. It was then that I realized how far America's military had deteriorated.
Every last one of them missed.

Thanks for the laugh. Went down well on a Sunday morning.

A morbidly funny "JOKE" Hope the jackboots recognize that fact!

Don't you need silver bullets to kill a vampire? Wait till he sleeps in his coffin and drive a wooden stake through his heart.

Rifles are not guns. If this would have happened you would have witnessed a rifle volley, not a 21-gun salute.

Good one, Hobblemaster. In the war on terrorism, he would be the first target.

That's not funny. Shooting ex-presidents, even wretched ones, is nothing to joke about.

I agree. In fact, I think the dude from ANSWER who threatened to kill Bush during their rally back in January should be strung up a flagpole. You see, that was a legitimate threat. This was a joke. Big difference.

Five points for the person who identifies the movie.
(And it was _not_ intended as an insult, just a humorous quote.)

I THINK BILLDO AND SHRILLERY OUGHT TO HAVE TO BE GRILLED BY CONGRESS ON THEIR DERELECTION OF DUTY ABOUT DELIBERATELY DESTROYING THE MILITARY--not to mention regarding their insanely egotistical and stupid personal hostility to individuals protecting their very lives day in and day out.

Didn't take it as an insult. (I've been insulted by professions; youse guys is amiters.)
For ten points: "Her womb was a rocky place and my seed could find no purchase." - My favorite movie line.
