Are you serious? Is the operation of the cannon paid for with Federal funds?

If no National Guard, who will march the flag out?

I am calling my congressman tonight and will scream my head off. I will also cut off his Grotto membership. Maybe then we'll see some action!!

The Pay Our Military Act doesn't apply to the most of the Guard.

It would be kind of ridiculous to cut the Guardsmen's pay and training but still pay to have them fire cannons at a football game.

Damn right!! However, if the Huskies score too much, it could test my prowess. This is where extra hot dogs and a bit of leftover sauerkraut would come to the rescue. Why does everything revolve around hot dogs lately?

I'm sure plenty of people in attendance will have cannons on them. No worries.

This really sucks! The school should have linked up with the ROTC bn and got them to blow off artillery simulators after we score... Not the same thing but it can be real close...

Let's all just conceal carry to the game and every time we score we will use celebratory gunfire.
