Doonesbury Say What?

"Back in the day, really, when people would talk about our military in a poor way, somebody would shoot 'em. And there'd be nothing said about that, because they did what was wrong. You don't talk about our troops. You support our troops."

-- Joe "The Plumber" Wurzelbacher

And exactly when was "the day"? I don't recall anyone ever being shot for criticizing the military, but my knowledge of history is far from authoritative.

But what I REALLY want to know is: WHEN WILL HIS FIVE MINUTES BE UP?!
