#1 None of whom, by the way, joined us on patrol. Take that, Wolf Blitzer
news reporter v/s news reader.

#2 Daily reports include notes like, "Wires noticed sticking out of dead goat on roadside; goat detonated by EOD" (a.k.a. the bomb squad). Recently, insurgents shoved an artillery shell into a cow's butt and then herded it onto the roadway in front of a convoy in the hope of detonating it. Instead, the cow shat the 105mm suppository right back out. The only casualty was the cow's rectum.

Seafarious, I think if wolfie witnessed this, he'd leave a little deposit in his pants.

#3 RD, if *I* witnessed that spectacle, I probably would too. The bad part is that these troops can't go laugh it off at the end of the day over a beer or three.
