We're gonna boot the hell out of him all the time and we're gonna go through him like crap through a goose. Now, at that place's ane thing that you men will be able to say when you become dorsum home, and yous may thank God for it. 30 years from now when you're sitting around your fireside with your grandson on your knee, and he asks you: 'What did you practice in the Great World State of war 2?', you won't take to say: 'Well, I shoveled due south--t in Louisiana.'
