How To Thank A Soldier

TƯ CÁCH CỦA MỘT LÃNH TỤ ...

Và dĩ nhiên chỉ có một xứ Tự Do Dân Chủ mới có thể có những Lãnh Tụ theo đúng nghĩa.  Còn ở những môi trường khác, như Chệt quốc và Việt Nam chẳng hạn, thì chỉ có Khôn và Gian Manh trở thành Chúa Đảng (cướp).

Nếu đa số mọi người cho rằng tôi nói quá đáng, tôi sẽ luộc một con gà và chính thức làm văn tế để tạ lỗi với hai đảng Chệt và Việt cộng.  Hy vọng tôi không mất một con gà nào!

Có cần phải nhắc lại không, rằng nhiều người cũng muốn nói từ tận đáy lòng của họ là:

CẢM ƠN NGƯỜI LÍNH VIỆT NAM CỘNG HÒA!!!
