"the point is, Josh, people that sing about cowboys are annoying and stupid"
Walt Hasser ... knows the lyrics to just about every hit country song recorded between 1960 and 1974. Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash are his heroes. He has a beautiful country singing voice, and in his case Colbert makes a special exemption to his "no country music" rule. Following the ZSU AAA gun attack south of Al Hayy during which Hasser had climbed into the turret under fire and had taken out the enemy gun position, the team had seized the bridge north of the town to the accompaniment of his singing Glen Campbell's "Rhinestone Cowboy."

The point of this post, believe it or not, is not to draw attention to how much I overthink icons but to let you guys know I'm leaving town for Christmas tomorrow. Er, that is, in about four hours, because other people's night is my "making sure I packed everything" time. I'm enjoying Turku a ton right now--visited a bunch of galleries today between last-minute shopping, and lo, it was a fantastic idea and made the other thing less annoying--so am not super happy about leaving this early, but I can see how making my mom do all the preparations alone when I don't have anything mandatory keeping me here isn't exactly fair and in the spirit of the season. I'd console myself by making gingerbread Marines but Cake Wrecks has warned me off attempts at camo icing. And if you don't have them in fatigues, how will anyone know they're Marines? By Brad Colbert's Heavy Metal tattoo? ...Suddenly I really, really want to recreate that on the back of a gingerbread man. Yeah, my life is really this exciting.
eta: The answer is too simple: dress blues. Dress blues with swords. And dragons! Awesome.
