Familiar To Anybody Who Ever Read "The Good Soldier Schweik"
Edited on Sun Jul-18-04 05:55 PM by MrBenchley
One of the great classics of absurdist literature has nothing on the Pirates of Halliburton:

"Seven years ago, Lexington psychiatrist Charles Ham retired from the Army.
Or at least he thought so.
Then, the other day, he got a call telling him to report to Fort Jackson for a physical examination.
Ham, who wore a U.S. Army uniform for 41 years, knew 5,600 veterans who recently had left the service were being called up. But he never thought he would be on the list.
“You know, I’m 67 years old. Why do you need me?” Ham asked."

Why does this bunch need a psychiatrist? THERE's a silly question.

On to Belgrade!!
