Adviser, voice from white house: Sir, about your guard service... George W. Bush from white house: Stop attacking the guard! I was proud to have served in the Alabama guard for both days! Listen, when I say I've put something behind me, I expect it to stay behind me! I want to know why this national guard story hasn't gone away!

Soldier 2: Oh... hey, yeah, me too!
