To: American Soldier
My 20-year old daughter is a medic with the 173d Airborne and is a crack shot with her M16A2 and also the M9 pistol. When she goes out on sick-calls to the Kurds she carries one or another along with her aid-bag. On several occasions she has expressed to me her desire to get a Fedayeen or a Rep. Guard in her sights. Pow! It's virgin-time for you, Sadeekhi!

My older daughter is further south with V Corps COSCOM. Her favorite tool is that automatic grenade-launcher that sits on a ring atop her HEMMT tractor-trailer. A handy thing to have in "ambush alley"! Quick, Allah! More virgins!

Oh, and speaking of non-combatants: in 1943 on Bougainville, my father was pinned down in a creekbed for more than an hour by a tree-mounted Japanese sniper. The regimental chaplain finally disposed of him with one shot from a .45 automatic. My father was astonished. He had never seen anyone hit anything with a .45, let alone a 50 year-old Methodist pastor with coke-bottle specs.

I guess God really was on his side ;-)
