Alanon Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 boo yah!Can't do anything but bite the turd this time.The only thing worse than being a lawbreaker (even if it is a retarded piece of law-shit) is to be dubbed as anti-war.So the 92-year old geezer has found the perfect disclaimer. Maybe from now on nfo's should include the following: ment for downloading by US troops currently in action. By downloading this you here by certify that you are a US soldier currently on duty.
