Originally posted by Parallax Actually, that was in response to Gary's jab at me for being an openly conservative Republican. All joking aside, I applaud Cody's initiative.
A parable:
During the intense fighting for control of Guadalcanal during WWII one particular Marine was quite despondent over having yet been unable to claim an enemy kill, despite several encounters. His sergeant noticed the young man's frustration and counseled him on a sure-fire way to get a kill.
"What you do is you yell out 'F*ck Hirohito!' at the top of your lungs. That'll piss your guy off. He'll jump out to charge you and when he does you just blast his ass. Simple."
Following the unit's next encounter with the enemy the sergeant checked on the fellow to see how his advice had worked and found the young Marine even more frustrated than before. He asked if he had tried the advice.
"Sure, I did exactly what you said. I yelled 'F*ck Hirohito!' at the top of my lungs."
"What happened? Did he jump up like I said?"
"Yes. He jumped up and yelled back 'F*ck Roosevelt!' at the top of
his lungs."
"So did you shoot him???"
"
What?!?! And kill the only other Republican on the whole f*cking island????"
