Goof says, "If you don't support the troops, then kiss my ass!!!". I might not be there fighting, but I have family and friends who are there, and they all believe that we should be there. So, support the troops people. Oh, and nothing against some of the cool Canadian people on this site, but Canada can kiss my ass too. McCain in 08!
