We're the Military and Airpower Guys of Jonah Goldberg of National Review Online + a stray we found wandering around looking lost.

The theory goes that the bad guys won’t be able to sniff out – literally – a sniper-snooper team operating in the local scenery for a week sans showers if they’re clad in XM37 Odor-Muncher™ undies. Which launched a sub-thread about the next-best thing – tactically, rather than socially (sometimes) – which is eating like a local rather than a GI so you wind up smelling like a local rather than a GI. Now watch closely as I... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/thisn_is_for_cr.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/thisn_is_for_cr.html Mon, 06 Aug 2007 01:01:09 -0600 Checked e-mail. No samples. But I will keep checking just the same... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/thisn_is_for_cr.html#comment-63015 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/thisn_is_for_cr.html#comment-63015 Tue, 07 Aug 2007 22:42:56 -0600 Hoo doggies! I will check said email! I have some idears floating around in my head (Oh shut up. I know it echoes in there...) heh. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/thisn_is_for_cr.html#comment-62997 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/thisn_is_for_cr.html#comment-62997 Tue, 07 Aug 2007 11:49:53 -0600 Cricket -- You might already have representative samples in your colletion -- check your e-mail. Ry -- Got my @ss shot off in Vietnam, so I can't comment on its present appearance. Ask Barb, BCR or FbL -- not that I expect they'd have noticed. ALa or AB probably *did*, though... Barb -- Don't assume *all* those goodies are around at any particular meal. Or in unending quantity. It's a pretty decent representation of the variety, though. And my arcane eating/catnapping cycles prolly have as much to do with slenderization as working in a sauna -- yesterday's OAT (outside air temp) hit a hunnert 'n' leben. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/thisn_is_for_cr.html#comment-62986 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/thisn_is_for_cr.html#comment-62986 Mon, 06 Aug 2007 20:40:29 -0600 Hmmm - no tapeworm jokes here, Bill. But I'd better write down the recipes and learn to cook ME style - if you're able to eat all that and lose weight! http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/thisn_is_for_cr.html#comment-62980 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/thisn_is_for_cr.html#comment-62980 Mon, 06 Aug 2007 18:02:19 -0600 Just make sure you bring your @55 home, who cares how skinny it when it crosses into CONUS airspace Chief. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/thisn_is_for_cr.html#comment-62979 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/thisn_is_for_cr.html#comment-62979 Mon, 06 Aug 2007 17:16:30 -0600 Looks like I will have to get an Afghani cookbook. It sounds fantastic. I have several ME cookbooks in my wishlist; any chance of writing those down? One thing that has always fascinated me is how the US soldier and immigrant to the US has enriched our cuisine. I can get goat here in Hotlanta; the DeKalb International Farmer's Market sells Halal meats, and the employees are mostly from India, the ME, and the Horn of Africa. Carry on, Chief. Keeping an eye out for you... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/thisn_is_for_cr.html#comment-62978 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/thisn_is_for_cr.html#comment-62978 Mon, 06 Aug 2007 17:13:45 -0600
