1. Can you imagine being a new Marine recruit and having

7. Do you remember "Harold & Maude"??

Do you remember the character of Uncle Victor, the one-armed veteran Army officer? Do you remember how persuasive he was regarding the discipline and benefits of a military life? ("Victor." Get it?)

9. It seems that's what George H. W. Bush said in 1992 at the ...
