At the last moment Spc. Martins was having second thoughts about his descision to volinteer to field test the Mark 87 10kt nuclear Bangstick.
Still the Lt. was right.. SOMETHING had to be done about the cockroaches in base housing.
Specialist Martins realizes it was a mistake to tell the Sergeant that before he joined up to do his part for the Global War On Terror, he had worked for Roto-Rooter!
in a typical SNAFU caused by the Dems “Defunding” the military, Artillary was forced back to Black Powder, Shot, and Canister for the mortars and howitzers, requiring the return of a Swabber to the Mortar teams
I hope I can put out this cigarette before anyone finds out.

♦ Allured by a cheap car insurance and other cheap deals. Many tend to overspend on their credit card. This leads them to loans and eventually a debt. If you are planning to work at home, you will have to be careful about all this and more.
In view of a recent tendency to identify characters in fiction with real people, it seems proper to state that there are no real people in this volume: both the characters and their names are ficticious. The names or designations of any military units are ficticious. There are no living people nor existing military units presented in this book.
-Ernest Hemingway
Halfway down the road to hell,
In a shady meadow green,
Are the souls of all dead troopers camped
Near a good old-time canteen.
And this eternal resting place
Is known as Fiddler's Green.
