Biden bids farewell to son, other war-bound troops

Well, it’s nice to see the media did not give full details about precisely where he would be, what he would be doing, and a physical description (including identifying marks such as tatoos) like they did with Track Palin.

they're waiting to find out which vehicle Track rides in to really give the muzzies a "heads up".

oh, and of course lawyers are needed in FAO. They are a force multiplier and essential to any combat situation.

My thoughts were always, "hmmmm should I put SAW on overwatch on the right flank or....nah... bring up the lawyers and have them provide cover fire on the right........." or............" Screw it, I'm going to go ahead and commit all my lawyers to protect that flank!! Maybe, just maybe Columbia and Harvard can provide us with replacements... we just have too much at stake, so we just have to commit our best at this time."

I can hear them at SOCOM..."get that briefing ready and the sat imaging so that our lawyers know what they're getting into over there. I don't want them busting in there holding their #ocks while all hell breaks loose. We only have a limited amount of these assets and law schools aren't graduating enough lawyers for all the ops we've got in planning. Remember what happened with all the lawyers when we assaulted Falluja. (shaking head and wiping an eye) Briefcases, keyboards,waste baskets with basketball hoop targets, squeeze foam stress balls, monitors, paper clips, staplers, ....just awful....just thrown about..... "

All kidding aside. I know that pay outs to chieftains and tribal leaders, good order and discipline, dealing with local authorities and making agreements are important functions of JAG.... Anybody and everybody is a target that is over there. Mortars and IEDs are a general delivery system with no names, so may God protect him and all that are over there.
