There are so many awesome things about America -- freedom, apple pie, the grand tradition of parlaying one's reality TV show career into an eponymous clothing line at a discount chain store ...

It's also about Lady Gaga and Beyoncé's wackadoodle collaboration "Telephone," which has garnered about a million parody videos. Our all-time favorite, though, is this tribute from a group of soldiers stationed in Afghanistan.

In it, Big Rob (he's the cute ginger) and friends show off their awesome choreographed dance moves, homemade costumes and A+ acting skills. This isn't the totally finished video -- they still have more filming to do before it's done -- but this rough cut makes us swoon.

Come home safe boys! Enjoy.
