Skippys List

26. Never tell a German soldier that “We kicked your *albatross* in World War 2!” But it's factually correct.

 

77. The MP checkpoint is not an Imperial Stormtrooper roadblock, so I should not tell them "You don't need to see my identification, these are not the droids you are looking for." I figure this would work on American troops.

 

152. The following items do not exist: Keys to the Drop Zone, A box of grid squares, blinker fluid, winter air for tires, canopy lights, or Chem-Light ® batteries. Why not?

 

191. Our Humvees cannot be assembled into a giant battle-robot. And that's what's wrong with the American military.

I had "Ride of the Valkyries" mp3 on my cell phone. Playing it through a loudspeaker when entering the camp in an APC was not allowed after the first time.
