Those troops so deserve to take a break in 'his' chairs. Gosh, they must feel great. I so hope he is dead now.

Oh man, I'll bet that's a welcomed sit down.

Can you imagine how great it must have felt to sit in a chair. Oh, anf if they used the bathrooms.....bet that almost felt like heaven compared to what they have been using.

Sure hope our men and women get home soon.

That was the front page of yesterday's newspaper here. The article went on to say they used the bathroom for many purposes including taking showers!
