Impressive. They deserve it, don't get me wrong. I find this fascinating, though. Logistical supply chain management must be pretty decent if they can get DVDs of movies out there that quickly.

No, no, no... think "Asian movie piracy". Notice the earlier joke about how $5 seems a little steep for a DVD, especially if it only has one movie on it? Any new movie release is available in quick pirated version on the streets of Hong Kong within a few days... thence probably to Dubai and Baghdad.

A Glock 9MM on a lady's hip is considered sexy.

When is this NOT the case?

Yeah,

DVD's over there = one day after release stateside.

Voter registration cards = 6 months.

"Can you hear me" takes up 50% of your cellular telephone conversations.

Wow, just like home.

Great post.
Sure has humbled me and made me more grateful for their sacrifice for us. More grateful for my ice maker, clean water, a hot shower, my Klondike ice cream bars and my own bed.

This ought to be a must read for every American.

Too bad. I liked my idea better. I thought Hollywood was actually doing something nice for the troops. It would be great if they actually did do something like that.

LOL! God bless them.

A sense of humor has been the most essential item in a GIs survival kit, in every war.

We are paying Revolting Roberts 20 mill a pix and we pay our soldiers doodly

It just amazes me that our current society will spend more money on our entertainment than on our needs. That is not a good plan.

Which ladies in Iraq are packing Glocks? The gate guards at the post I work on pack glocks, but they are "rent a guards", (mostly nice folks and ex and/or retired military) not military.

No merchants make money off of voter registration cards. Free enterprise works!.
