"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."

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