I would expect that a video on an American military website would feature American troops.

“We started Military.com in 1999 to revolutionize the way the 30 million Americans with military affinity stay connected and informed. Today, we’re the largest military and veteran membership organization — 10 million members strong.

Military.com’s free membership connects servicemembers, military families and veterans to all the benefits of service — government benefits, scholarships, discounts, lifelong friends, mentors, great stories of military life or missions, and much more.

We believe that the benefits earned in the service should be easier to access and written in plain English. We’re passionate about helping members make the most of military experience throughout life.

Military.com’s members are sharing stories, insider tips, news from the front lines, and unique slices of military life including the tough stuff of war.

Military.com provides headline news and technology updates since our community answers the call and makes news. We also cover the rest of the military experience — from great content like our user-generated videos in our popular “Shock and Awe” feature to our military equipment guide we present what makes the military unique (and fun).

In 2004, Military.com joined forces with Monster Worldwide (NYSE: MWW) to accelerate our growth and change the playing field for career and educational opportunities for servicemembers, veterans and military spouses. Monster’s vision is bringing people together to advance their lives, which is a great fit with Military.com’s “members first” ethos and goal of connecting the military community to all the benefits of service.”

I would expect that foreign troops would be less likely to take inspiration from American cheerleaders than American troops.

[but for some reason, I barely looked at the right side of the screen]

That's OK, Salamander, I got it covered...

Cheers!

Well, Ladies, it seems like the Troops beat the Cheerleaders in this video. ;)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Just because you’re on a diet doesn’t mean you can’t glance at the dessert menu. (and drool!) LOL!

I should have warned you, Altariel... if Salamander and I were in school together, NONE of the teachers would let us sit next to each other. Happy Thanksgiving!

We’d have taken over the school before they even knew what hit ‘em.

;]

During a civics class, one of my ‘partners in crime’ and I staged a ‘political coup’ for an extra credit.

Our class president wasn’t running for re-election and the boy who was running unopposed was a narcissistic, obnoxious jerk.

In less than an hour, John and I had convinced Debbie to run again, made up posters announcing her candidacy, plastered them all over the school and still got to lunch on time.

At the end of the day when the ballots were counted, Cabot [seriously] was enraged and screaming because he only got one vote..from his girlfriend.

Ms Beach was very pleased with our efforts but I think she was always nervous when she saw us whispering in the back row, after that.

Who knew what mayhem we might be planning, next...LOL

[and in truth, there have been several times when a person was told that they ‘couldn’t sit next to me’. I’m very good at getting unwitting pawns to carry out my nefarious schemes...just ask hubby]

>:-)

Ahhh, but the question is: is it Odhinn who carries out *your* nefarious schemes, or is it *you* who carry out *his* nefarious schemes?

‘Yes’ is not an answer. ;)
