Why I Love Stephen Colbert

Because he did this:


And he somehow hilariously (and classily) brought up the most sensitive military subjects to a military audience. "It must be nice here in Iraq because I understand some of you keep coming back again and again. You've earned so many frequent flier miles, you've earned a free ticket to Afghanistan."

Because he interviewed enlisted soldiers, not just generals.
