It's impossible for all that fighting to be going on in A'stan without
some of our forces experiencing SOME casualties. Like, I'm sure about
one third of what the Taliban claims to have shot down is probably true
or has a grain of truth in it. But 100% of what you hear from our own
dear spokespeople is all positively spun. Not going to hear that one
bad thing happened from Herr Rumsfeld GmBH, no sirree.

Which leaves this mighty problem. Eventually, some mom, dad,
girlfriend, or boyfriend or significant other will eventually notice
that Johnnie, who couldn't say where he was going or what he might be
doing or how long he might or might not be gone...hasn't shown up for
dinner in quite a LONG time. So how does the US Double Plus Ungood
Squad explain the casualties?

Well, since all the bombing has started, I've heard of at least TWO
incidents where this training flight went down in Kentucky or that
training flight went down in Oklahoma. It must cost the Department of
Defense a damn pretty penny to fuck up another perfectly good jet or
helicopter in the woods someplace and then ship the bodies over here
from A'stan. Sigh, business men should never attempt to conduct an
actual WAR where anything but money is at stake. The temptation to
impress the investors is just TOO hard to suppress when you're just
another pointy-haired boss.
