A Soldier's Tale

He can't spell but who cares?

     If you want to read a day by day account of one soldiers ongoing deployment to Iraq please stop by Talisein's blog and give it a read. Yeah there are tons of spelling errors but hey, that gives it character!

 

Some small samples :

Heat exhastion now has a very palpable meaning to me. I drank 10 1.5 liter water bottles today. I have not gone to the bathroom. Wow.

SFC Calangelo called yesterday's operation an abortion, which I thought was an apt assessment. Today we just PMCS'd our trucks and changed a tire until lunch, did some training. It was hot. ;) So we chilled in the tent and eventually passed out, skipping dinner. The end.

 

Tal is a wierd fucker but a fine american nonetheless. Just go read it! And leave him some comments by way of support!

He seems to have such a great attitude toward his life right now. It surely is filled with frustrations but he is not making himself more miserable by ranting and raving about how unfair life is for him. There is so much great patriotism in so many of our young people. Come home safely.

Well, I'm proud of the guy. I hope that his "brave face" stays on for a good long while.

(And to think, I didn't like him when he got here. I was wrong.)

And the irony of harping on others' spelling smacks grey in the face.

Just 'cuz they're laying around your house, doesn't mean you "have" them.

Man, we shouldn't post to threads at the same time the other is on. It turns into this.

Which is too bad, because this was a nice article.

Greywar, I tried to leave a supportive word for Tal. I tried as an anonymous user since I had no password, but when asked to duplicate those symbols, I was stumped by the first upside-down 9 and when I tried to hear the numbers, they were so muffled , even turning up the volume as loud as I could, I could not hear them. Oh, well, I will keep him and all you brave soldiers in my prayers.

Greywar and pseudosoldier, your lewd repartee revived long-forgotten memories of my college days and of passages from Chaucer’s bawdy “Canterbury Tales.”

Well, I have never liked Tal and he knows that I have never liked him. In fact....I cant remember how MANY arguments we have been in, especially that last 6 months that I was there. Although I dont like him, I still wish the guy all the best of luck and hope that he has a safe return. He is a soldier and for that he deserves the watchful eye of whoever is up there. Although, I cant say much for the other KP golf that is over there with him. Suffice it to say that her name begins with a B and rhymes with Todwell. She is hazardous to everyone.

EL - Use the second post to tell us what you really feel. (I don't think grey will delete it, as it gives him ++.)

oleteach - I have never before been compared to Chaucer.
...
Thanks. (And wasn't he great in that movie grey likes?)

Pseudo - You are welcome! I have no idea what movie you are alluding to. However, I remember how I could not tear him away from that hilarious but really vulgar British TV show "Benny Hill." This was at the tender age of about 5. Mea Culpa!

You know, Psuedo, its not that I dont like her, I just umm....well......how do I put this...yeah ok. I just dont like her. You know, and I told Mike this already, but I was almost positive that she was going to take Mikey away from me. Maybe thats why. Maybe its jealously. Jealousy over what , well, that I dont know. I am a woman and jealous by nature. At least I admit it. Until she started talking(endlessly and with no point whatsoever) and anoying the shit out of me, I thought that she was very pretty. So. yeah. It was jealousy.

I thought that she was very pretty


You have got to be shitting me. This is a quote from one of her soldiers in Korea (A KATUSA) "But SGT B only pretty from neck up!"

I'm not sold on "teh pretty" either. I think the main attraction she held for those she "dated" was "teh easy."
In other news, the Persian Sangus will apparently make his return to our home, soon... stories of pissing on women, ho!

teh easy


You can say that again. In addition to the guy below we will have another of her conquests of Persian bent back too. (I don't think I can do Persian pseudonyms)


Persian Sangus


I find myself oddly looking forward to it. not for the pissing stories though.

Reply #18 Top
No..I am not shitting you. So she has a big ass. I have about the same size ass. I dont know if you have beer goggles on all the time or what. Ok....maybe my ass isnt quite as large as hers.
Yes, I heard that the Persian guy is returning. But you made a mistake.....its not stories of him pissing on women, its stories of him pissing IN women.

Yer ass isn't as big as hers, and is attached to a much nicer person, to boot. I don't think it will offend for me to tell you that you are much more attractive than she is (in innumerable ways).

It was pissing, all the same. I'm sure it didn't all stay in, y'know?
And then there was the story of how he lost his virginity...

I shudder to think about what sort of google hits these comments will bring in.

Do that article, or I will for you. And dharma. And some others. (You can view anyone's results, apparently. Mine are tame compared to yours and hers.)

Hey, I'd love to take the time and look at what ends up on the screen, but when I was in Kuwait I only had 30 minutes to try and pound all that damn text in, and maybe send an email to my parents. On a damn square keyboard. So bite me.

Speaking of Todwell, I have termed her SGT Skank Whore.
