Nothing would make me angrier than coming back in from a 16+ mission to only be delayed going to chow by some fat MSgt because of a "uniform violation" or get this one, "looking too tired". Whenever we had an EOF incident I was never worried about the legality of our actions, but the inevitable insinuations of covering something up or incompetence from some douche officer or senior enlisted butt gnome. When in fact, their only experience with combat was punching hookers on Grand Theft Auto.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and to John Beard, this is coming from and AF guy who was bomb maker bait and whose squad was outside the wire looking to wipe out those who caused " incoming incoming incoming" to come across the giant voice. If the AF guy who had the chicken shit look on his face was Security Forces, then you have my permission to slap him in the face and tell him to quit acting like a douche. The rest of the AF ( except tac-p,combat controllers, PJ's ) made even me sick to my stomach with their bitching about nothing and aversion to hard work.awesome bill from dawsonvillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17264815763711026547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34649397.post-13390855284006050712008-05-10T10:24:00.000-06:002008-05-10T10:24:00.000-06:00Like the other poster here, glad you're now able t...Like the other poster here, glad you're now able to have "distractions". Still interested in seeing your coverage-and it's a shame that you get treated differently as a member of the press and as a military member.

They were rear-echelon troops that wore combat boots, carried side arms, had Eisenhower jackets, bloused their trousers, and never saw a shot fired in anger. Made famous by the Willy and Joe cartoons drawn by Bill Mauldin. <BR/><BR/>Too bad this war doesn't have a cartoonist that can represent the combat troops the way Mauldin did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34649397.post-85956733222523138012008-05-02T12:01:00.000-06:002008-05-02T12:01:00.000-06:00It good to see you are writing.
