Via OneHandClapping, I came across this delightful post (from Tuesday) by a soldier returning to the states from Iraq:
The plane ride to La Crosse was so short that the flight attendants never came by to give us pretzels or pick up our trash, which meant I put the empty Gatorade bottle in my pocket because it’s just rude to leave trash behind on a plane. When we landed, the flight attendants announced that Northwestern appreciated our service. As we walked down the terminal, a band played the “Star Spangled Banner” and a row of generals and sergeant majors and a bunch of suit people were there to greet us. Families were there. The media was there too. And I had this dang, big Gatorade bottle in my pants. As I was shaking hands, the only thing I could think of was I’ve got to throw this thing away. It makes my butt look big and I’ll be on the news tonight.
His post isn't all that long. Give it a look if you can.
