1. Love this Quote from the article
""We appreciate people like Dr. Caulfield," said Lt. Col. Hilferty. "He's a patriot. I have great respect for him.""

Yeah, so let's put him in harms way and kill the older fucker...

Geez, what a country...

5. Are you sure it's not a Pylonoidal cyst?
It kept limpball's fat lazy ass out of the draft.

7. "Dr. Caulfield understands it to be a three-month assignment."
Wait'll they extend his deployment by a year.

9. Do you think he will last a year?
Just weather itself can kill him at his age.
