A SOLDIER'S PERSPECTIVE
THE WEB'S LEADING MILITARY BLOG SINCE 2004
UPDATE – I apologize for taking so long getting back to this, but wanted to announce the winner of the caption contest. Congratulations going to out to “Bob The Liberal” for this caption:
The ancient vampire sizes up her next meal.
For being chosen as the winning caption, Bob has a choice of one of the following new hardback books:
“Why You’re Wrong About The Right” by S.E. Cupp and Brett Joshpe
“Indoctrination U.: The Left’s War Against Academic Freedom” by David Horowitz
“Conservative Comebacks to Liberal Lies: Issue by Issue Responses to the Most Common Claims of the Left from A to Z” by Gregg Jackson
Just kidding, Bob will actually get to choose one of the following hardcover books:
“Intrepid: The Epic Story of America’s Most Legendary Warship” by Bill White and Robert Gandt
“Soft Spots: A Marine’s Memoir of Combat and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder” by Clint Van Winkle
“A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier” by Ishmael Beah
Bob, just send me an email with your address and which book you’d like. By the way, I’ve read them all and they’re great books! We just had Clint on the our You Served podcast a week ago.
Is it just me or does that Colonel on the far right seem scared. What could possibly frighten a battle hardened, steely-eyed, killer like that? And look at the guy in jeans staring at Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. The official description of this photo is below, but I want to know what you to think of a great caption for this photo. On Wednesday, we’ll vote on the best caption and I’ll send a great prize out to the winner.
Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, talks with U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Michael Tucker about stability in Afghanistan during her visit to the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) headquarters in Kabul, Afghanistan, Feb. 20, 2009. Tucker is the deputy chief of staff for operations for ISAF and the deputy commander of operations of U.S. Forces Afghanistan.

I just LOVE a woman in orange! And neck waddle….purrrrrrrrrrrr the neck waddle does it for me! (Note to self: May want to talk to that babe about the buggy chihuahua eyes though. I think a plastic surgeon can fix those kinds of things)

“Listen Major, I’m not in the best of moods. The only plane that I was able to get to come here was a cargo plane and it had to circle the airport several times before landing. Don’t you know who I am Major? Next time I’ll take my own private plane to come here and I’ll bill the tax payers. They’ll never know. LOL. Okay. let’s get down to business”…

I am laughing so hard at this… I vote for this one to win!

Pelosi says ” I’m cutting off negotiations with the Taliban!”….” Believe Me.”

“Look, I can see your friend there is skeptical but really, just a splash of colour in the uniforms would really brighten them up you know! See how my orange scarf just ‘pops!’â€
Mary
I’ve never been good at caption-making….but wouldn’t you be a little scared too if there was a velociraptor in the same room? And if that particular creature was wearing a day-glo orange scarf while assuming a preaching posture? I might be a little freaked out myself.
Pelosi confuses me. On one hand, she reminds me of many sociology professors I’ve known: screechy, sheltered and weird…but harmless because you only have to put up with them for a few hours at a time. On the other hand, she reminds me of an oath I took recently that mentioned “enemies foreign *and* domestic.”
Final assessment: creepy, yes.
Mary
Oh, and in case anyone is wondering how tough and scary I am, my oath was for a school board out here in the formerly great state of CA. So the answer is, not very. Heh.

What’s he thinking?
“I’ve been on 100 convoys and less S@*T than what she’s trying to sell us!”

“We liberals believe this war has failed. No matter what you do, or the outcome, it won’t change our opinion.” Speaker Botox Pelosi.
mortimas
Pelosi “blah, blah, blah”… Colonel thinking “Why in any situation would I listen to this over botoxed disgrace to the country?”…. other colonel “I cant seem to look away from the creature”

“Oh, um, Seargent..On the way here I think I saw Bin Laden, yah, he was tall and had a beard and looked real Araby. Should you send somebody?”
Larry
Ok general, I put on the bright orange scarf and shirt you gave me. Let me get my bulls eye hat and I will be ready to take that tour of Kabul in the open topped Humvee we’re driving.
Melissa
“Look ‘major general’, I really don’t give a rat’s @$$ what your rank is. I’m in charge now and you’re going to do it MY way. Do I make myself clear?”
Rob
MG Michael Tucker, USA and other assorted dignitaries admire the lifelike realism and got a real laugh out of the new Nancy Pelosi “Hi-Ya, Newt” statue donated to the Kabul Wax Museum by the Republican Party Tuesday. (Why the hell else would/could they be smiling with her in the room? lol)

“Exfoliate, Col. See? If you do it in a up/down motion, you can rub the skin in a way that will produce the best glisten to your skin.”
COL(s)-”I’d rather be drinking a bottle of magnesium citrate than have to listen to this woman (crap). I’m glad she isn’t in my chain of command.”

bubble above the Col, “I had a pug once with wrinkles and bulging eyes like her. The pug was cuter.”
