What a country!

I'm feeling a little Yakov Smirnoff-ish this afternoon. We live in a remarkable nation, and what is even more remarkable is how much little we appreciate that fact. In most countries in most parts of the world, when the military becomes disgruntled by something in the political realm, there is the threat that the military might involve itself in the politics by threat, violence, or even coups. In the United States, however, soldiers create a wise assed and funny sign that delivers a powerful message, photographs it, and it makes it's way around the country at lightning speed, influencing the political in a perfectly legitimate manner. It really is remarkable, and if you don't appreciate that, you really should.
