Iraqdown!
Well, maybe it's just me, but is this a really good idea? Do you stop a policeman in the middle of a shootout to tell him he's doing a great job?

So they're going back to Iraq (Presumably Baghdad) to tell the troops how much they're appreciated by creating more work and more asses to watch? Fuck's sake, isn't this a message they could just call in?

I understand the concept of entertaining the troops, but is it really a bright idea at this point?

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”
