Friend of mine immigrated to the US from Laos after the other American war. He told me stories about his involvment at in the Plain of Jars. Explained that before battle the Buddhist rubs dirt on themselves as a representation of their connection to the earth. Another guy I knew was always trying to save my Laos friend from eternal damnation. One day my Laos friend asked me about eternal damnation. My reply was, "Don't worry about it, when you get down to it, we all want the same thing". Eternal damnation was never spoken about again, we had many more enjoyable discussion about Laos and the way of life that my friend fought for and lost. There was an open death warrant on his family after they left in 1975, his father was the Govenor of Vientiane Laos.
Merry Christmas to all.

I got a huge pin up poster of General McChrystal from Time magazine for Christmas. He's cute and only eats one meal a day. I hope we do more Pop-centric COIN around the world, with a man like this we can never lose. Merry Christmas to all you COIN dwarfs, our COIN Santa is super HOT!!! (I can only imagine him in his HALO jump suit with dive gear ready to go... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.)

Here's a link for young 'uns like myself wondering about the post above: Plain of Jars.
Brilliant Idea (imagine fingers making quote signs) for DARPA prize initiative: Item 1: pizza oven/assembly unit suitable for emplacement and efficient use in C-130 cargo bay at altitude. Item 2: Reusable insulated pizza lander, suitable for deployment into combat situations, GPS guided, made with off-the-shelf equipment for less that $5,000. Project focus suitable for undergraduate engineering students. Pizza either draws enemy fire or feeds troops.
But I know how we can all get along. Clearly the Liberal Gay Hairdressing submarine joke rangers need to make a field trip to UK engineering schools...and somehow...somehow...get these guys off some other way.
I always thought the repressed sexuality thing was overplayed, but if they are going to mine their own nether regions maybe a dose of Larry Flynt edu might be in order. But I don't pretend to have all the answers....

David, that's not very Holidayesqe.
On another day it would be funny as Hell, I will concede.
Since we have COIN dwarves, can I be the COIN Elf? ;-o)
you can be the COIN bitch, elf! if you were in the military, i'm sure you'd have fond memories pulling a train. train on Elf!!!
I guess we didn't serve in the same units. Were you Air Force, or a hairdresser on a submarine?
It's bad when you have to celebrate Christmas with gay jokes.
In other bad Christmas news...

"Every time citizens of the U.S. succeed in preventing a terrorist attack against the U.S. it is also a demonstrable failure of the U.S. government. "
What do you have against gays, Elf?
What do you have against the Air Force, hairdressers, and submarines?!!!
What do you have against gay jokes, elf?
Jesus Christ.
I suppose I am also against...never mind.
Did anyone else catch that the underwear bomber's nickname at school was "Biggie"?
BTW I am against blowing up my f*cking underoos, also against the err...err ... related method used by a recent Saudi bomber.
NSFW
But I know how we can all get along. Clearly the Liberal Gay Hairdressing submarine joke rangers need to make a field trip to UK engineering schools...and somehow...somehow...get these guys off some other way.
