Nope. Not at all.
We go out of our way, all the time, not to offend the host countries. They need to cut us some slack for a funny moniker.

“When something’s rare it becomes more valuable,” Anderson said. “When it’s been a couple months since you’ve had a couple shots of espresso with frothed milk and some flavored syrup, you realize how you really appreciate the simple things like that.” For some reason this quote just cracked me up.
I don't think I've EVER had even ONE shot of espresso with frothed milk and flavored syrup!
(if I'm gonna have gew-gaws in my coffee, I like it iced.)

Wow ... you are SO right ... we do NOT want to offend any Arabs. I mean ... I know they are probably grateful that we saved there butts from the wood chippers that Saddam used on them. And I know that they probably like having the ability to say what they want in public. But holy cow ... we can't offend them by letting them know that we are not muslim!! ... What is this guy thinking ??
To: MplsSteve
Ping for the MN list. The guy's from Anoka.

Any idea how I can get the mailing address of this fellow so I can send him some coffee from my coffee farm (free of charge, of course)? Thank you.

Go here http://www.defenselink.mil/faq/comment.html then pose the question using the Chaplain's Name, Rank, and the location unit assignment from the story. Say what you want to do asking for the best way to do it. It's at least a start.

The article talks about how the good chaplain has been able to do this through donations, but nothing is mentioned about how to help him out! Any idea on how to help this guy with this tremendous mission?
To: SandRat
Thak you. I'll give it a try.
