There were Army ones and Marine ones and maybe even a Royal one.
Some crossed the Rhine and others waded in the Pacific.
Some even went mine sweeping.
Some tote tourists and some served in Korea and some helped with Katrina.
As set out here.
I take General Order #1 first...
I don't want...whoever if covering my childs six...to be dehydrated(coomonly referred to as hung over as a result of consuming too much holy water)...in 120 degree heat...with full battle rattle...before he/she ever leaves the front gate. The pilots rules of no "Holy Water" within 12 hours of takeoff seems to be appropriate to me. Unfortunately...for folks that spend most of their time outside the wire..within 12 hours would probably be never.
The most pre-eminent expert on Muslims matters...Ayatollah Sistani has been clear...Alcohol can't be ilegal in Iraq because not all the religions within Iraq prohibit alcohol.
IMHO General Order #1 has confused Average Omar(A close cousin to the prophet Joe Sixpack). Saddam let average Omar worship at the alter of beer. The US Military is supposed to be "liberating" Iraq...but they also allowed Ayatollah ImAllwaysOffended convince them that the religion of beer should be banned.
If the US Military...the most powerful military in the history of the world is afraid of Ayatollah ImAlwaysOffended...then what should average Omar be afraid of? I think average Omar figures he has to kiss Ayatollah ImAlwaysOffended's backside. Then we end up with endless news reports of "The Feared/All Powerfull Ayatollah ImAlwaysOffended" might do this or that...and we should all shake in our boots.
