U.S. Troops Trained Not To Spit Or Urinate Toward Mecca
The troops at Camp Pendleton are told that they have to keep a constant eye on which direction is West so not to do anything disrespectful in that direction. Demean the South, North and East as you wish, but not the West toward Mecca. Since we saw that millions of Muslims prayed for years in the wrong direction, this could add an element of considerable pressure in a potty break.

The lesson on how to expectorate in an Islamically correct fashion is just one part of the specialized training required of our troops in being shipped out to Afghanistan.

1. I predict...
...an increase in farting toward Mecca. Or, is that against the edict as well?

Muslims, the most easily offended group in the world.
