And I don’t know how I could deal with my wife being deployed overseas. These reunion videos—for me, at least—shed a tiny beam of light on how emotionally draining being a military family can be.

I’m now convinced that a dog would make a better President than Obozo.

These troops and their doggies are awesome. We need to get CCW on all military bases to protect our troops. Also we need to elect a LOT more foremer military people to office to comabt the Hussein Islamic insurgency in America.

And that my FRiends is why (most) Muslims hate dogs.

Whenever I see a story like this, I always think of the Twilight Zone Episode where the Old Man and his dog die.

The Devil tries to convince the Old Man that Hell is actually Heaven, but when the Old Man asks if his Dog is welcome, the Devil says there are no Dogs allowed in Heaven. The Old Man says thanks, but no thanks and moves on.

He and the Dog walk down the trail and run into St. Peter and he invites them both into the real Heaven. One of my favorites.

I don't really trust people that don't like Dogs, but that's just me.

WHAT?!?!

They are soldiers. We are at war. They SHOULD be carrying weapons 24/7 no matter where they are.

Unless they’re mudslimes, of course...
