"You never need to worry your fuzzy little prole* heads about me and my republicon chickenhawk cronies. We are not getting anywhere near the trouble spots in our Crusade for Oil Profits. Smirk, smirk, smirk,"

"Oh yeah, almost forgot my republicon homelander propaganda talking point: "Too bad about YOUR dead sons and daughters, and all the dead Eye-raki women and children and stuff."

- Commander AWOL


*proles = formerly known as citizens of the United States of AmerHca until that democracy was overthrown by a cabal of republicon cronies loyal to the fascist anti-science, anti-truth state known as "homeland."

I hate to think what would happen if we left.
