11/26/2003 - TALLIL AIR BASE, Iraq -- Airman 1st Class Jason Hill breaks down a Harvest Falcon latrine tent so a new cadillac latrine can be installed in its place. The cadillac latrines provide a more comfortable, private environment and are an important quality-of-life issue, officials said. Hill is a utilities-systems apprentice deployed from Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Chris Stagner)



Now our troops can come home and claim, "I shit in a Cadillac."

I feel safer.

1. they deserve it

They're having their pay cut while being ordered to risk their lives for Bush's oil buddies. Improving their toilet facilities is the least we can do.

2. Hear, hear...

Although I'd bet they'd be happy to shit in their Congressman's Caddy

3. No doubt. But when they have to issue a press release about

upgrading the latrine it seems pretty bizarre.

4. looks like temporary mode....

.. has turned into a more permanent tour of duty for the troops when they install a better "facility station"!

I can just picture recruiting offices right now...

Recruit: Will I be sent to Iraq?
Recruiter: Well...maybe....probably...YES.
Recruit: Later, dude.

6. Just one more line.

Recruiter: But we have CADILLAC toilets!

7. Now all they need is some nice toilet paper

with pictures of Bush and the Penackers that put them there!

11. you forgot one more thing

Recruiter: Son, it's an Escalllard (sp) Cadillac toliet. Plus we have that cool Americ's Army video game...
Me: NoNissan 350 driving game? Pass! :evilgrin:

8. halliburton got billions of dollars to provide facilities for the service

members in iraq-- and they are just NOW getting around to giving them decent toilet facilities? how about housing, food and water?

[lumpy]

9. Merry Christmas troops !

What you have always wanted.

[tabasco]

10. Well, that's nice for the Air Force.

You can bet most of the combat troops in the Army are still crapping in barrels. Maybe a nice plywood outhouse, but crapping in a barrel. Then when it's almost full, mix it with diesel and burn, baby, burn. Ahhhh, the smell of burning crap in the morning.

12. Harvest Falcon?

Amazing... they actually give tough-guy nomenclature to the field crappers. This is entirely too weird. I wonder who's in charge of this...
