Mission Accomplished! Again!

There's a lot of mordant irony in sitting in a chow hall in Basrah and watching the news when the top story is "The Last Combat Troops Are Out Of Iraq

In that case...

I'll convince the guys at AWA to throw you a cosplay parade after you return. Just provide a list of your favorite shows and it'll happen.

...or as Pvt. Freidman said in "A Walk In The Sun" you're a "traveling salesman selling Democracy to the natives."
You should have seen the big hoopty-do the Today Show morons did about the troop crossing the border into Kuwait! Their reporter got to ride in the helicopter flying overhead and take pictures! "Now here's Al Roker with the weather! And coming up a North Carolina grandmother who raises minks in her trailer."

So Is This a Police Action Yet?

[anonymous]

Saw footage of some 3ID guys returning to Benning. I'm assuming they are ADVON party? I thought something sounded wrong about that. Bullets and shrapnel are still deadly regardless of what they officially call it. But I don't need to tell you that. Hang in there and keep tearing off the Dilbert calendar pages...or toilet paper sheets...or whatever you use there.

Yeah, that has to be the ADVON guys. I sure haven't gone anywhere. Usually they give ADVON slots to re-uppers where possible, as an additional inducement. This time I heard they sent ETS guys home so they can get started before stop-loss $ kicks in. I just can't win.

Crap. Its August 23rd now. We were blacked out yesterday thanks to another KIA from IDF. This time here.
