It looks like they are those nasty peanut butter cookies. Now if it were Carmel Delites I might have something to say.

We now have troops in Hungary.  Troops have daughters. Daughters are in Girl Scouts.  Cookies must be sold.

Girl Scouts have brothers and uncles and cousins, etc-- and those are the prime targets for the "cookies for the troops" drives that are getting popular.
(Taking the "I don't wanna get fat" excuse away, muwahaha!)

There was a post over on The Firearm Blog yesterday linking to a story/video (in Hungarian) about the US ambassador to Hungary visiting Hungarian troops, partnered with US troops from the Ohio NG, who were about to deploy to the 'Stan as on OMLT (Operational Mentor Liason Team, pronounced Omelette).

If I had to guess, I'd say those cookies came from Ohio.

I baught GS cookies in Iraq in 2004!  The above comments are accurate; i.e. ,"Girl Scouts have brothers and uncles and cousins, etc..."  My favorite are still the original flavor.  Anybody here remember when there was only one flavor of GS cookies?  Yeah, I'm old; not as old as Bill, but close...

They were obviously Hungary...

Good guess, HL -- both times.

Hey, John! I think HL just set a record for the Great Hall Echo!

 Bill was around when helicopters were coal fired and steam powered!

 V, that was before Girl Scouts even had cookies.

And boy-oh-boy, were those coal-fired jobs a world of improvement over the wood-burning ones.

Of course, whenever we needed to refuel, we could always hover slowly down alongside a dead tree and let the rotors whack it into kindling. That's why we called 'em

*heh*

"choppers"...

Man, I go to memorial service and see what I miss.  How many excess did HL have?  I apparently had around 20 yesterday.

It wasn't the total number, it was the spacing -- spread over about an hour.

When we got stuck in the Baltimore airport on our way here, there were lots of Girl Scouts around passing out tons of cookies for free. All they wanted were pictures with soldiers. We were still eating those cookies days later when we finally got here.

Thin Mints for me, every time.

My previous comment was held up by Komment Kontrol. All I did was mention my favorite kind of Girl Scout cookie.

Would somebody please mention the name of the person with no hair on his head, which absence of hair makes him bear a very disturbing resemblance to the local constable who unreasonably detained me about a week ago?  I mean, I am willing to put up with skinhead haircuts on Marines, because the rest of them is so cool and shiny, but not on policemen and politicians.

I make an exception for Governor Scott, for whom I voted.  Surely he has a good excuse, like a bad hair problem.

whoops! I commented on the wrong post!

Not my fault, I believe.  As Mr. Chapman said after shooting Mr. Lennon, "Hey! No fair! It moved!"
