This soldier has his front yard!  He had his wife send him the dirt, grass seed and fertilizer from home.

That's a unique idea. I would never have thought of that.

I was thinking about it, maybe that's why the terrorists don't like us.  We have grass.

It would with a pair of scissors!

That's kinda cool - too bad his wife couldn't send him some wood and nails to build his house.  :)  It just bums you out to see all those guys out there defending our country and they're sleeping in a bunch of tents.

I am not condoning it because I left that behind years ago but on their off time they should be allowed to get lit if they want. Can you imagine being in Afghanistan and not being able to sample the goods?   :smokin:

Can they at least get beer in Afghanistan?  I know it's not allowed in Iraq.

If they are fighting over there they damn sure ought to be able to drink some beer! No liquor, no nudy books, no wonder those people are killing each other, they got nothing better to do  :banghead:
