I would welcome this fine, honorable, misunderstood young man into my home when he returns to his obviously undeserving homeland.

Would this celebration involve a blanket?

One-shot deal at redemption...
"Volunteer" the slug for a one-man HALO night infil into downtown Pyongyang... conked out for the ride & send him off the ramp - AOD enabled- just about as he starts coming around.
Kit him up with our best (faux, complete with crafty instructions) James Bond gear... Plus maps, & cue cards with translations that actually read "Great Leader Must Die Like Dog!" and other endearing phrases.
See if the sumnabeech can talk his way out of that jam.

Now THAT is really mean! But in my house, just one flush would do the trick.

Please Reaper-san, you don't think my invitation was cordially meant?

Soap in a sock ( Irish Spring or Ivory ) trumps soap on a rope every night!!

Disgusting. Absolutely shameful.
Desertion is one thing for a draftee, but for a volunteer?
To borrow from Samuel Adams, may posterity forget he was our countryman.

This cracks me up. What part of walking into an Army recruiting station and signing your name doesn't he understand?
