#1 Congratulations to Generals Petraeus and Odierno. I wish you all success in your new responsibilities.

The Nation's honor is secure in your very capable keeping. Thank you, sirs.

#2 I have one minor problem with this. The next generation MBT will be called the "Petraeus". It doesn't sound as cool as Abrams.

#4 Thank you Generals. You skillfully dealt with our enemies and the donk Congress. There were times it was difficult to tell the difference between the donk Congress and our enemies I am sure. Thanks.

#5 I just hope that the next generation MBT isn't a tank, but rather a swarm of semi-autonomous unmanned killbots. A Abrams or, preferably, a Stryker can suffice for the mobile pillboxes for the operators.

#6 I think more likely a compact 2 man tank where the jobs of loader and gunner are taken over by machines.

#8 What is the difference between Congress and our enemies?

Earmarks.

#9 What's the difference between Congressional hockey moms and our enemies' pitbulls?

Lipstick on their earmarks.
