This is like the gun I used in ‘Nam!

President Bush recently explained to a convention of veterans that America’s experience in Vietnam should be a lesson to those who want U.S. troops to withdraw from Iraq. he drew several carefully prepared examples. ‘Remember how difficult it was for Jon Voight to reintegrate into society?’ This drew several curious faces from the crowd until a presidential aide displayed a photo from ‘Coming Home’ on the projector. Ah yes, realization sank in. It was hard. What about Rambo? That whole incedent caused much needless loss of life. Despite the fictitious nature of these examples, many thought it should have been apparent to the President that the best way to prevent a physcotic super marine from returning home tweaked out from the war and killing civilians with a .50 cal machine gun and sharpened sticks would have been to limit the scope and length of the war in the first place, and more importantly provide proper military care after the fact. But the President had a better idea. ‘Keep them there indefinitely.’
