It's not that I never thought I'd say this, I just never thought of this topic at all. It sounded pretty surreal coming out of my mouth at the time, but it's even more surreal when I ponder on it. Last week on the way to Bagram we had some issues, I actually had to say:
"Sergeant, stop flipping off the guy pointing the MK19 Automatic Grenade Launcher at us!!"
To be fair, his flipping was probably more effective than my frantic waving motions.
Good times.
Cheers,
Jody

Sometimes a finger is just the thing, and sometimes, not. In some countries it is "he who has the biggest vehicle has the right of way." Maybe in Iraq it is "he who has the biggest gun."
Sounds like a blast. Yeah. I said it.
Sir, You never cease to amaze me.
