Go read this collection of quotes over at Lex's site.

My favorites:

“Things are looking up for us here. In fact, Papua-New Guinea is thinking of offering two platoons: one of Infantry (headhunters) and one

(JS) on OIF coalition-building.

“I finally figured out that when a Turkish officer tells you, “Its no problem,” he means, for him.” Maj (EUCOM)
