When Lois catches news of this after Peter acts wimpy when he simply asks Meg to past the milk but she tells him to shut up , she demands that Peter and his friends stand up to the brutes . Quagmire is at first reluctant to tag along , but eventually goes along when Peter and Joe arrive to rescue their booth . After a brutal fight , the brutes once again demand they leave . Peter refuses to give up and goes into a tirade about life events that went on while sitting at his booth like his children being conceived in the booth , when he was in the booth when the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded , when he was in the booth when 9/11 happened , and was in the booth when Barack Obama was elected President of the United States ( all of which he reacted to with horror ) . The brutes reveal that they are soldiers who are only visiting Quahog and will be deployed to Afghanistan , which earns them applause from the Drunken Clam 's patrons where Seamus uses Mort 's head to salute them . Peter , Quagmire , and Joe are put down once again as Mayor Adam West declares this day in honor of the three soldiers and not Peter , Quagmire , and Joe . After the crowd leaves with the soldiers , Peter complains about having to root for Afghanistan now
