Precisely what are the 'soldiers' I'm supposed to thank doing to keep our government from printing everything in Spanish, instead of English, for example?

What's the point of the (racist?) English-centric bias of the comment at the end of the post, given that this board is accessed world-wide?

Good 'old fashioned' redneck hick-ness?
