Im assuming they get married in the first 15 minutes and the rest of the movie is her fighting to have a proper muslim wedding ceremony in his cell, even though he is on dialysis, and she volunteers to be waterboarded in his place during their honeymoon, then she gets denied automatic promotion to E4 because she wears a headscarf to the board.

Some units have mock boards for E4 run at the company level. It's as retarded as it sounds.

Some most All of these are really loving hideous but I also remember trying to give my platoon sergeant an aneurysm by strapping the most ridiculous poo poo my feet prior to PT, so I'm kind of torn here. I guess so long as you only wear them for PT and hide them the other twenty-two and half hours of the day they're pretty cool.

You staying at the replacement barracks? I left those a few weeks ago after two weeks of finding human poo poo sprayed all over the bathroom doors and semen stains on my barracks room walls. On the plus side, the ceiling above my bed had "InFAnTRy" carved into it by some PVT's lovely PX knife he probably bought at Benning after becoming a certified bad rear end operator.

The picture is the particular one we're arguing about. He has it on a faux-snake skin cowboy hat, and apparently someone yelled at him about it being disrespectful. He seemed completely unaware why, so I explained it was the iron cross, a German WWI/II thing. He says it's the marksman badge, and posted a picture on Facebook of the marksman badge, but it looks nothing like what's on the hat:




EDIT: He is an armymans, and has actually earned the marksman badge.

That and the Iron Cross has rounded edges, and no circle in the middle. The Marksman badge has straight edges and round circle in the middle to signify a bullet hole.

His is an Iron Cross.

Thank you US Army for providing the world with a handbook on Arab cultural facts. http://fas.org/irp/agency/army/arabculture.pdf

Im sure if I follow this book my Arabian culture exam will go perfect.

OKay guess I shouldve posted this to the Iraq thread but this was published by the US Army so:

quote:

All Arabs are Muslims, and all Muslims are Arab.
o Arabs are religiously diverse group –
significant numbers of Arab Christians in
Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Jordan, and
Iraq. Arabs make up between 15-18% of the
Muslim world.
• The Arab world is backwards and uncivilized.
o Actually represents a highly developed culture
and civilization where modern cities mingle
with ancient ones.
• The Arab world is one big desert.
o Truly geographically complex and diverse.
• Stereotypes of Arab males:
o All are “oil-rich Sheiks”. As in the West, there
are economically diverse segments of the
population.
o Mad dictators. Various types of political
systems in Arab world.
o Terrorists. Overwhelming majority are law
abiding citizens with families and a wide
variety of occupations.
• Stereotypes of Arab women:
o All are oppressed by men. Not true.
o All are veiled. According to Islam women are
supposed to wear veils. In some countries, like
Lebanon, Syria and Egypt, it is no imposed
upon them and women are free to choose
whether to wear veils. However, in other
places, all women, even non-Muslims, wear
veils out of fear of mistreatment by fanatics or
those who pretend to be guardians of Islam.
