  1. How about:

    - An Army of One, brought to you by George Bush’s mistaken invasion of the WRONG COUNTRY

    Other options include:

    - Why am I over here on my 3rd tour fighting for people who don’t want me here?

    - I wish we had a draft - or at least some new volunteers. It’s lonely out here fighting the War on Terror all by myself.

    Yes, a play off the Texas Ranger’s unofficial motto :)

  25. doggonit - that gopher comes up now he’s being vaporized

    Comment by stan68ar — 28 March 2007 @ 1829


  26. I like SCEagle’s comment, but want to amend my first entry and propose a second:

    One Ranger, One (less) Taliban Government

    Free to kill gophers at will, Sgt. Spackler waits with superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that’s all she wrote…

    Comment by Laughing Wolf — 29 March 2007 @ 1308


  27. “On A Clear Day - You Can See Forever!…..”

    Or

    “On A Clear Day - You Can Shoot Mohammed!…..”

  30. One soldier, one rifle, one shot - one hope for freedom.

    Comment by Dalene Barnes — 31 March 2007 @ 1154


  31. Army of one

    Comment by trxn — 31 March 2007 @ 1310


  32. “Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I’ve climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds…..

    ahh! *CRACK*

    That dude took long enough to pop back up, just about zoned out there.

    ——

    I like #25

    From Caddyshack: “Man, free to kill gophers at will. To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit - ever. They’re like the Viet Cong - Varmint Cong. So you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that’s all she wrote.”

Fiddler's Green


Halfway down the road to hell,
In a shady meadow green,
Are the souls of all dead troopers camped
Near a good old-time canteen.
And this eternal resting place
Is known as Fiddler's Green.
