Well that's what I thought too, but I was so shocked that they actually would have done that that I had to do a reality check. It gets very hard to keep up when real life imitates a comedy show...
So much for the oft repeated, but never believed by myself, canard how "nobody wants to go to war, but sometimes you have to". These bloodthirsty motherfuckers really dig it.

I can't help but wonder if this a rejoinder to Pappy's saying he didn't have that "good feeling" at the end of his gulf war that he had at the end of WWII. (I just saw the clip where he said that at a press conference on Frontline's Iraq retrospective they ran last night.)
