Adrian Cronauer, the real live DJ portrayed by Robin Williams in the movie "Good Morning Vietnam" just passed, https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44897634 (many other obits also available).
Keen to travel, Cronauer says he actually volunteered for a transfer to Vietnam, where he was hired initially as a news director for Armed Forces Radio there.
After his morning presenter left, he took up the 06:00 Dawn Buster show mantle, greeting troops with an enthusiastic yell of: "GOOOOOOOOD morning, Vietnam!"
Cronauer soon found out while interviewing troops that his ironic salute was often met with "the GI equivalent of: Get stuffed Cronauer" on bad days, he recounted at a veterans event in 2008.
"On one occasion, a guy picked up his M16 and blew away his radio," he told the Americans Veterans Centre conference.
Did any Soylentils hear him — live — in Vietnam?

This has to be the weakest DNC apology I've seen in a while. Trump has his own problems, and I think he's pretty awful. Maybe you folks shouldn't have fucked over Bernie Sanders.
Runaway diagnoses the problem accurately. I mean, good god man, you've got the propaganda machine calling for a military coup in the USA! In the USA! Where we have a procedure that allows our democratically elected representatives to remove our democratically elected president from office!
If you have good evidence of treason, throw the book at him! Do it on principle. Remove the jackass from office. Prove to all of us that this OMG Russia bullshit is principled.
You folks have gone completely insane. I didn't buy Trump Derangement Syndrome at first. Calling for a military coup in a democracy is deranged.

HRC probably had some "regime change" plans already pre-made for when she'd be president, targeted at some other unfortunate country. Seems only fair to eat your own dog food.
From the outside, it certainly is fun to watch Trump fumble on every step he takes on the world stage. I rooted for him as the lesser of two evils (and the more entertaining one at that). I just hope I'm right and he neither starts more wars nor tries to push the apocalypse button. TBH though I doubt the humans involved in the button pushing would let him.
Good luck getting rid of him next term, I do hope you Muricans remember that you can trust neither of your ridiculous two establishment parties when it comes time to cast your ballots.
