#3 While marching as a private, I was made to sing a vile, disgusting song which included the phrase:

If I die on the Russian front,
bury me with a Russian ****.

I can't get the Russian Front song out of my head. Other songs included references to bird bills, window sills, and Cadillacs. I need ~~$$$$~~ help ! (but not just for the song)

#4 In my youth my Boy Scout troop marched to similarly rude ditties, at least when out of earshot of certain leaders.

#5 So basically every ~~woman~~ person who ever served in the military is a potential full disability case?

Well golly, sometimes I think I'll be the last ~~person~~ dumbarse in CA that actually gets up out of bed and goes to work in the morning.
I should get smart and figure out how to retire on them gubmint benefits too!

#6 I recall coming around a building corner at Lackland AFB one fine Texas morning and hearing a female TI, er, "counseling" her charges: "There's over a mile of dick on this base and you aren't going to see one inch of it until you learn how to MARCH."

The poor lasses are probably unable to get on this new gravy train....

#7 So Uncle Phester - did you know you could claim disability for the 'trauma' of hearing this sexual harassment?

With all seriousness - I have no doubt that there is rape and real sexual harassment on military base like everywhere else. But somehow I get the impression that they are using a very loose definition here.

"He called that guy Dick! OMG! Sexual Harassment! I've been traumatized! Disability!"

"Dick is his name - Richard Long or Dick Long or sometimes even Long, Dick."
