And I was raised to admire its many admirable qualities...like discipline, bravery, male bonding etc. But people who glorify it without having experienced it or seen it close up...should just stop yapping...or sign up!!<BR/><BR/>Hi anonymous!! Yes that is quite an impressive tribute to the bloodthirsty barbarism of my ancestors. But on the other hand I'm sure the MacDonalds deserved it.
