    Joseph Flannery, a 7th grade Social Studies teacher, admitted he’s looking forward to his deployment.

    “I’m in my late 50s and I’m sad to admit I get winded walking from my car to my classroom, but I thought about it and I can either get shot in a war overseas or I can get shot by some active shooter while I do a lesson about the Revolutionary War,” said Flannery.

    Fucking gold.

      But you’re only being shot to protect innocents in one scenario (:

    We’ve come to the logical conclusion that the only way to get government funding is to commit war crimes ourselves.

    …Said Biden. “I’m going to send an extra billion dollars over there to motivate more people to join these brave teachers. Go to Israel and see what the American government can really do. And let’s not forget they won’t have to pay for healthcare over there thanks to our taxpayer dollars.”
