I'm sure the RW wargasmists will love this. After all, it's always nice to see troops taking time from doing their job in Iraq to pull these stupid little stunts. No wonder we're getting our ass kicked over there.

The sad thing is, Kerry is actually right. The vast majority of people going into the military are going in because they really don't have many other options. There are a small handful of gung-ho Rambo types, and some who come from military families who want to continue the tradition. But by and large, the military is made up of people from disadvantaged neighborhoods, minority groups, and those who can't afford college education but don't want to work at McDonalds.

1. Oh, c'mon. It's actually pretty funny.
Anything those guys and gals can do to lighten things up for themselves is OK with me.

Debunked in about seven minutes

4. The Army has identified the unit that did it
34th Infantry Division in Iraq. Wonder if they will get in trouble?

5. Looks like a steady diet of the Rush Limbag show on armed forces radio n/t
Republican lie machine pumped into Iraq courtesy of your tax dollars.
