War is hell – especially when it messes with football season

The first Iraq war was to prevent an evil dictator and war criminal from annexing a sovereign nation. (You know, like Traitor Trump’s owner, Vlad Putin, is trying to do to Ukraine.). The second Iraq war was because bouncing rubble in Afghanistan wasn’t satisfying enough…..

Oh, I could just SEE Melania taking over if Trump croaks! /s

Boopsie will probably have a better season.

Let Hunk-Ra take over, B.D.

I occasionally dream that I am called back after 40 years. It is one of those realistic dreams too.

I remember this arc, so I’m not going to spoil it for those who haven’t seen it before or don’t remember but I hope GC runs the entire sequence. Very funny!

…yet.

Boopsie, the with her twin motivators, a winning combination.

That’s not a bad idea, BD.

Worked for Biden.

BD’s tour in Iraq is gonna make his time in Nam look like a paid vacation.

Her real name is Jill

Not dead, just helmetless ! ;-)

“Go in there and win one for the Boopster!”

She’ll do fine until the first time the teams change direction

“Curable details.”

America has 375 million people and yet we have a military force of 10-11 million people. People who made the choice to defend the country they believe in. We owe those few warriors our respect and our lives. Not really applicable to the cartoon, but I have had friends called back several times over the years and they all answered the call. A few made the ultimate sacrifice.
