Bush "envious" of U.S. troops in Afghanistan
In a videoconference briefing, the president describes what soldiers are doing there as "in some ways romantic."
Alex Koppelman [2008-03-14]

  • The Young British Soldier

    Sheeit ... not even Kipling tought Afghanistan was "romantic":

    "When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains,

    And the women come out to cut up what remains,

    Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains

    An' go to your Gawd like a soldier."
