Heartrending description of a young soldier's first Christmas in a war zone:
I remember Christmas of 1968 sitting on a gunboat in Cambodia. I remember what it was like to be shot at by the Vietnamese and Khmer Rouge and Cambodians... The absurdity of almost being killed by our own allies in a country in which President Nixon claimed there were no American troops was very real... I have that memory which is seared -- seared -- in me.
*sniff* poor kid . . .
Cute ducky picture for the first one to spot the Bullshit Penn and Teller Moment in this story?

"President Nixon?? In 1968?!?!?"
One cute ducky picture to Jim for being firmly grounded in reality and aware of his surroundings -- something it seems the presumptuous presidential hopeful Kerry is not. Let me know which picture your fancy, Jim, and it's on its way!
President Nixon? In 1968?

As the picture, I like my ducks the way I like my women: wet and with a covering of soft down.
