    They train young men to drop fire on people. But their commanders won’t allow them to write ‘fuck’ on their airplanes because it is obscene.

      You always gotta maintain civility when murdering people, y’know? Because killing others is one thing, but being uncivil? We’re a civilized people, for God’s sake!

    I’m proud to be a Canadian today. This guy is a legend. Too bad he’s about to go through a bureaucratic nightmare.

    Dick is a real and valid Anglo name derived from Richard. 69 might be referring to his father’s age etc.
