How's this as a bit of a nudge at part of Jack's base? Too subtle?

I was thinking some Taliban Jack underwear, then everytime you sit down,,,

While I fully agree that Mr. Layton is a tad lost on this issue he is an MP and indeed a leader of a party that some 20% of Canadians (depending on the day and poll) support. Call me old fashioned but we do live in a democracy and we do defend it. I think we are better than this sort of behaviour. I am off to put on my helmet and body armour awaiting the incoming.

As a serving member of the CF I would consider it beyond the pale to wear a shirt of that nature not just because it was Jack it could be anybody. The old saying of we defend Democracy not practice it goes a long way. Indeed I would sort out any troop who had the temerity to display a shirt of that nature. In my day to day duties I run across these fellows all the time. I do my best to remain professional and not get personal. While I do not support Jack he did ask one prudent question what is the exit strategy. As a guy who is working with the wounded perhaps I have a differant view than yourself. I see the results of this biz first hand day to day. I only hope that in 10 years the boy who grows up without his Dad will know it was worth it. I still do not have the answer

Back in the 80s I had a tee that had a map of the four Western Provinces with " Vote Reform, set the West free" on it. I was wearing it on a nice sunny Chilliwack spring day, walking through the front gate. All I hear is "YOU!! Stand right there!" BCWO comes flying out of the Base HQ and proceeds to tear several long wide strips off me. Then he asked me where I got it.
