Please feel free to use this post for comments and trackbacks not related to other posts on the site. If you leave a trackback your post has to include a link to this one and, as always, comments claiming the sun will rise in the west tomorrow, Chimpy McHitlerburton lied, etc. will be deleted without ever appearing on the site.

Some Bill's Bites posts, some things I excerpted and linked but I'm sending you to the original post, some things too short to excerpt and too good to not mention. I occasionally move things from Bill's Nibbles to longer posts as the day goes on:

  • March 18, 2003 
    Critter: In the middle of the afternoon, I was dozing in a little hollow in the sand, my head on a sandbag in the shade of the maintenance deuce and a half.  Spec. Willie Cooke, who drove the medic track, and Spec. Emeka “Easy” Ezekwem, one of the mechanics, sat down beside me in the shade and began talking God and war. 
  • VBIED Friday 
    Teflon Don (H/T: Jules C.): We drove back to Ramadi today, once more making the so-called "milk run" back from Falluja. We tend to see it as a short, easy clear- we know well the areas where the bombs normally are, and the road is wide and well-maintained. However nonchalantly we approach the mission, all of us know that there really are no "milk runs" in Iraq: anything can happen, at any time. Today is no exception.
