Gut-Churning

Just when I think I can't be surprised anymore, something comes along that surprises me. I must say that the line about me (and all you military families out there) being fat and whiney has done significant damage to my self-esteem. I see years of therapy in my future. I'll catch up with the rest of you folks in oh, say, 2015. I should be "fixed" by then. Good luck with that whole War on Terror thingy.

Another Re: BattleBuddies:

Oh, by the way, somedoby's being punished for all this. But guess who:

I contacted the only unit in our brigade that has Bradleys, 1-18 IN, and advised their XO of the situation, recommending that they talk to their Soldiers about Army values and the Warrior ethos, reminding them of the rules for blogging in uniform and also reminding them of integrity and telling the truth. The bottom line: If you put something out there you should be willing to put your name next to it and stand by it. That he and New Rpublic are insisting on anonymity is very telling here.

So anyhow, some old guy up in the rfront started yakkin' on about integrity and shit, but me and my buddies was having a fart lighting contest in the back of the room and we didn't pay him no nevermind. Then we went out to do some rapin' and stuff.
