5 Reasons Why Sochi Makes You Proud to Be an American

There are many times in life where veterans are proud to both be veterans and proud of their country.

So here are the moments that have brought the biggest smiles to my face.

Second, how else are you supposed to vomit into the toilet after a night of drinking vodka? Third, how many Russians believe that fishing in a toilet is a problem? Fourth, why isn’t crouching tiger hidden dragon allowed in the bathroom?
