Dipper men

Got some dip?

Hooka time

A ditty: When was the last time?

Bravo!

"This is my worst Iraq story..."

"I could understand the diarrhea type shit but..."

Die Mutha' Fucka, die Mutha' Fucka, Die!

Back from the battlefields

Apologies for the infrequent postings but I've been 'busy' as it may. Just caught this article online and thought I might as well share (click on the link).

A soldier's story

On Veterans Day: One man's story might remind you of those that are still in harm's way. Marine Lance Corporal James Blake Miller's story in his own words here and here with an epilogue here (via the Los Angeles Times).

Do mortar attack sirens go off when you drive yourself of to work?

...or do you usually have the time to get your coffee and doughnuts in the morning without the pesky reminder bombs are about to drop? Hm, yeah I thought so.

You ain't got nothing on me!

Then again, cheap sheep ain't got nothing on rams!
WARNING: Some tonsil-hokey involved.

Sheep for cheap!

One of the positive things about Iraq: Cheap sheep!

Oral hygiene with Sgt. Nurre: How ya doin' kids!

I prefer the Crest cavity protection myself...

As for Joe, rest in peace bro

Chug, chug, chug, chug...

Self-explanatory...

What happens in Abu Ghraib, stays in Abu Ghraib

Specially when it's "Party Boy" showing his dance moves...

Sometimes you just need a little push

Damn, git up there already...

Earning those wings the old-fashioned way

From Swede Studios, a bit of military lore documented for historic purposes. "Officially" a thing of the past...

Fourth of July

This is pretty much what it's all about... Family, honor, service and pride in our country and our values...

Zombie nation...

Iraq... 28 weeks later...

On a clear day you can see forever...

A change of pace for the moment. A magnificent tribute to a fallen soldier...

I'm home, baby!

The perils of leaving a loved one back home...
