Who says Bush and company don't learn from history? Elephants were a critical part of Hannibal's campaign across the Alps against the Romans.
Personally, I think a circus to support the troops is a perfect metaphor, considering the the circus this administation has made of Iraq and Afghanistan. Think about it: You've got the elephant (GOP symbol) and a bunch of clowns (Rumsfeld, Cheney, et al) and a make-believe ring master (Bush). It's perfect!
I think top hats should be made standard-issue for all officers. The non-coms can be topped by the bowlers clowns so often use. And the enlisted men and women can wear those gay sparkly headbands the trapeeze artists wear.
It'll be the greatest show on earth!

... a Republican who enlisted (or was he drafted)?
There have to be clowns...
Maybe they're here...
