Transcript:

Reichsfeldmarshall Donald Rumsfeld salutes SPC. Thomas Wilson Hero of the Iraq war. (Voice: Why do we soldiers have to dig through local landfills for pieces of scrap metal and compromised ballistic glass to up-armor our vehicles?) (Man 1: Thank you, specialist Wilson. We're going to win the war thanks to scrappy soldiers like you!) U.S. forces are finding everything they need to fight the war right there in Iraq. (Man 2: Halliburton didn't send us any new uniforms, but the Iraqi salvation army will give you this.) We're so broke it's crazy. But that doesn't mean we have to quit. (Man: Out of ammo? Who cares? Just shoot rocks! They're lying on the ground!) Public school teachers have to buy their own equipment. We expect no less from our patriotic troops. (Man $200 for a body bad is a rip-off, but it beats getting tossed into a local landfill.) Ingenuity and self-reliance- standard issue for brave lads like Thomas Wilson! (Man: Send that sol-enemy combatant- to gitmo.)
