"Yeah, Big Bird, I can totally understand your confusion. Every single one of those perpetrators should be put into jail. No skirting the punishment! They have a culture of violence and abuse within the military and that needs to end. Yesterday, goddammit!"

"I was taught to be patriotic and to respect the military even if you don't agree with the war, but I can't do that knowing what we know, and that just sucks, Kermit!"
