Is this story for real?! I never thought Iraqi prisoners could be so freaking awesome. These guys should all be pardoned:
BAGHDAD - It seems that the Brett Favre-Green Bay Packers saga is such a worldwide phenomenon that it's being used by detainees in American military camps.
According to a military official, detainees at a Wisconsin National Guard camp in Iraq are using Brett Favre as a manner of getting at the guard troops there.
"They know Favre by name," said First Lieutenant Tim Boehnen, who is from New Richmond, Wis.
"One of the big words they know now is shenanigan. They'll constantly talk about 'Favre shenanigans,' 'He's so good for the Vikings,' and 'The Packers have got to really feel bad about that one.' "
According to Boehnen, it started when troops there started decorating their camp in Packers colors.
"We try to allow our troops to have as much fun in the compound as they can while still maintaining our professional manner," explained Boehnen.
"We spend a lot of time painting and making our compound our own and representing us. Obviously, wherever Wisconsinites go, we bring the Packers with us."
Once the decoration job happened, detainees became curious.
"They obviously then started up the conversations, and started talking about Brett Favre. They soon learned about Favre going to the Vikings, and things just started going downhill from there."
If this were an ARNG unit
If this were an ARNG unit from the Boston area and the detainees starting making Yankee jabs, it would make Abu Ghraib look tame.
Ah POW PsyOp shenanigans,

Oh, how graciously
Oh, how graciously humanizing and dehumanizing at the same time.
Not once does the article make reference to the actual war, the conditions or the reasons for which these people are locked up.
How astonishing that how these iraqis are actually intelligent people and could piece together a couple of words and make cultural references and here we were thinking "those dumb assholes don't know how well they've got it having us over fucking up their country and then blaming no one but them for not appreciating america".
America should wake the fuck up, this article is an insult.
... and about that depleted

But, hey, it's a volunteer military, right?
