re: #119 Mars Needs Neocons

I knew it was BS. When I was in the service we were ordered to cheer and applaud. When Gore showed up at our base in Germany as VP I was thrilled that I was on guard duty half a mile away, I wasn’t one of the people ordered to stand up and cheer and act all thrilled for the cameras. You don’t have to photoshop or put in fake applause, your CO’s make damn sure you put on a nice show for the camera.

soldiers know who is covering their back.
compulsory applause is no applause at all.
