Tony Pierce has a great IM interview with a paratrooper who has served 2 tours (do they call them ‘tours’ still?) in Iraq over at the busblog. It’s chalk full of good, meaningful, eye-opening exchanges, but I couldn’t help but gravitate towards this bit of self-deprecation by TP (writing as ‘dumbass’):
SSG Chris Paul: no airborne operations, I airlanded on a c-130
dumbass: dude, i blog to meet chicks
dumbass: i have no idea what a c-130 is
But like I said–there’s much more meaningful stuff (and some good photos from Iraq) if you read the full interview.
