Since coming back from overseas, this is more of a foreign country than the places overseas. I don't understand it. It's like America has lost faith in rational thought.

You are part of the world's most feared and trusted force. Engage your brain before you engage your weapon.

Baldy McNosehair looks dead sexy in a miniskirt!
