Fair Weather Patriot: (Singing Lee Greenwood) "And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today!"
Military Guy: (Interrupting) "Hey man you know we've been at war for like ten years now right? Why haven't you stood up next to me and defended her still today like the song says?"
Fair Weather Patriot: "I do my part -- I vote and pay my taxes."
