I would give a nut to get out of that. Every time that came up when I was in the Gulf, I volunteered for s**t burning. It actually wasn't to bad. Just had to add diesel and give it a stir once in a while.

Here is a WOW bump for the troops!!! God Bless them all!!

And a totally grossed out bump, for the insane physical displays. We protect people like that in America. They are institutionalized to prevent them from harming themselves or others. Sickening....

Thanks for the inspiring pics of the U.S. and British military and for shedding light on the barbarism of Islam. No wonder the kids grow up to be suicide bombers...

Thanks Dio for the bump and the great work you do.

I don't have a clue who this man is but the amount of respect, honor and gratitude I have for him and men like him is just astronomical.

Prayers for our freedom fighters.

I am so glad you are back!

I cannot get over the terrain (or lack thereof) in Kuwait! I looked at those pictures trying to spot some sort of plant life in the sand, but couldn't see any.

Those horrible photos of the Shi'ites doing their yearly "ritual" are making me feel quesy and weak. That is just WAY too wierd. I suppose we should embrace their diversity, nooooooooo!

Was this the meeting where we gave the Brits a peek at the air power we were ready to use in Iraq ...??

I heard there were 2 FA-18's that came screaming across the desert at a very low level directly over them - and the Brits were stunned!!
