Today I am gonna let the goat out of the bag in regards to a story that had been unconfirmed in this neck of the woods, but widely discussed, and even confirmed by some of the people that have been serving in that specific area!
Some of my faithful bloggers that visit EVERYDAY know some of the people that I talk to on a regular basis in Iraq, so you all might have an idea who I am talking about. I have heard the story from the goats mouth.

There is a unit of NG soldiers from Mississippi just south of me, and I won't name the unit, but they are for the MOST part good folks, who I have come to know and love(well, I might not call it love anymore, for in MS it has a different meaning).
Well, "allegedly" they were going around doing health inspections, whether it be Preventative Med. or what I don't know, and whomever was inspecting found a goat tied up in the shower with it's ass shaved, and it had been being housed there for the use of the "better good"! I guess for the soldiers "enjoyement"! Well, as sick as that sounds, and in NO way would that EVER be some type of replacement for my wife while I am so far away, the funny part to us is that the perosn doing the inspecting wanted to perform a RAPE KIT on the goat to find out the "perpetrator(s) ". Ok, that is weird, and why do you care, and what are you gonna do when you find out who was doing the goat? What is the punishment gonna be? Put them in the Brig.?(I don't even know if they use Brig. anymore for jail, but it sounds good in movies!) If they do they are pretty much giving those people fuel to light a fire! I mean a BUNCH of butts in a cell?
MMMmmmm.......... NASTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So anyways, they went to do the rape kit on the goat and lo and behold, the goat had dissappeared and was mysteriously killed before they could get any DNA out of the poor thing!
That is about as nasty as we have heard here, and I don't think that it is indicative of Mississippi or it's people, as some people just like different things! Different Strokes for different Goats!
I LOVE THOSE GUYS FROM MISSISSIPPI, and they spread this stuff themselves, so you have to laugh! And we DO!!!!!

In other events, the referendum is about to happen here so in the next week we will be a little more aware of our surroundings, as this is the time where they tend to act up here especially against each other.
It is also Ramadan, and that is like Christmas here, and they take it VERY seriously, I will give you more of history tommorrow!
Well, BG Granger is gone now, and we went to clean out his house today, and they left tons of stuff that we pilfored and we got some good things out of the deal.

Not too much else, but(no pun intended) I had to get that story out, because it is so unreal, but real!

Later,

Erik
