Not exactly a caption, but along the line of something I came up with earlier today:

Soon Iraqis will be celebrating Groundhog Day. When the Groundhog emerges from his den into the streets of Baghdad, according to legend, if he is killed by a roadside bomb or mortar attack then the Americans will be in Iraq 6 months longer than normal.

#48 - Posted by: humanoverlord on February 1, 2005 09:34 PM

Iraqi insurgents have been recently spotted hiding in holes around the countryside. If they stick their heads out and see their shadow, it means four more weeks of US occupation.

OR

Building on their sucess in training dolphins to hunt down and disable underwater mines, the US military has begun training another, furrier type of mammal to hunt down and disable underground insurgents. The program shall be known as Operation: Caddyshack.

Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by groundhogs with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Skrewwy Squirrel? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Elmer Fudd and you curse the Bugs Bunnies. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Fudd's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives...You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall.
We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post! Beeeyotch!
