Transcript:

Soldier: Wow... sure has been peaceful... for the last ten minutes. Sarge: I know. It's almost eerie. Soldier: Sarge, I don't understand the debate in Congress... how is cutting off war funds "not supporting the troops"? Does it mean we'd be stranded here without ammo or rations? Sarge: Of course not. It just means we'd have to withdraw! Soldier: Really? So if Congress doesn't support the troops, I go home to my family, but if they DO support us, we have to keep returning to the meat grinder? Sarge: Uh.. right. Soldier: Okay, I don't mean to sound ungrateful... Sarge: Permission to think it through denied.
