Female solider: Hi. I'm Flo Whitlock from Salem, Massachesetts, and I'd like to say to my kids, "Stop doing that!" Soldier 1: Hi. I'm Will Deaver from Minneapolis, and I'd just like to appear on T.V. Thanks! Soldier 2: Hi. I'm Peter Neville from Seattle, Washington, and I'd just like to ask our Japanese and German friends to get a little more serious about burden-sharing. B.D.: Hi. I'm B.D. from Malibu, California, and I just got one question! Where are the Japanese G.I.s? Where are the German marines? Soldier 3: I'm Jose Catto from Corpus Christi, Texas, and I want to know why the chief beneficiaries of this action aren't puttin' their butts on the line like we are! Soldier 4: Hi. I'm Jean Pouchet from New Orleans, and I just want to say to the Germans and Japanese that after having to defend ourselves from you during WWII, it's an obscenity that we're now out here defending your oil interests! Soldier 5: Hi. I'm Lou Bird from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Honey, sell the Honda! White House aide: Sir, we're sensing some resentment on the front lines...
