Stephen Colbert announced on his show last night that on September 8 and 9 he will dedicate his show to honoring American troops who have recently withdrawn from Iraq.
Called “Been There, Won That: The Returnification of the Ameri-Can-Do Troopscape,” the special will feature appearances by Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA), General Ray Odierno, and Vice President Joe Biden.
Colbert said the studio audience will be made up entirely of veterans and active military personnel, because now that the war is over we should thank our troops. “And quickly,” Colbert added, “because I think a lot of them are getting sent to Afghanistan.”
