Stooooopid liberals!
They have to ruin everything, I say let the boys have some fun with it.

Just my opinion
 
My son in law just came back stateside last week from his third and final tour. He said they had more do"s and dont's about hurting the enemy's feelings than actual instructions on how to separate them from this life. He's fed up and wouldn't go back on a bet. Little things like the t-shirts help moral in an otherwise unfun part of the world.
