Afghanistan is, like, so gay!

On a lighter note, another link from StrategyPage to a Scotsman article on the, uh, friendly reception a group of British marines recieved in the Afghan countryside. A brief excerpt:

An Arbroath marine, James Fletcher, said: "They were more terrifying than the al-Qaeda. One bloke who had painted toenails was offering to paint ours. They go about hand in hand, mincing around the village."

While the marines failed to find any al-Qaeda during the seven-day Operation Condor, they were propositioned by dozens of men in villages the troops were ordered to search.

Ho-ho! I can almost see this as a Monty Python skit gone horribly, horribly wrong. Picture the look on those hardened marines' faces. Pure hilarity, who says war isn't funny!
