the attack itself was all over the news last year.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Did they say 6 harriers were taken out? I think I would have remembered that.

There was much outcry at the time because 6 harriers is a not so insignificant a number given that there are actually so few still in USMC service, around a hundred or so combat worthy air frames. Many of those are an older variant less capable than the upgraded ones lost in Afghanistan.

I remember the news of the attack on his base, maybe that drowned out the harriers story in these parts.
