Funny Stuff!!



I have to confess some of the tales we tell to people that come to Victory! I believe it started with Elise Jenson(formerly Ernst) when she was here, and people would come and we would tour them around, show them the cool sites, and let them get pictures of the areas they would want to show others that never got here. I believe in being a good host, and when I go somewhere over here, I do expect people to show me the best their area has to offer. Sounds selfish maybe, but if you ask ALL the people that visit, I will spend the WHOLE day touring them around simply because there are good things to see, and you might only get here once!
ESPECIALLY if you are coming from out of country!
So the thing is since I have done it so much, we tend to exaggerate and things like that fireplace on the lakeside patio, we always tell newcomers that they used to burn their traitors bodies in there!

Also the lake in the background we said that Saddam used a lot of cement shoes on his foes in that lake! Well, it's never been proven otherwise, so I'm going with it!

Tales from Iraq!

Later,

Erik

Hey, excellent website. A great Iraq resource is Deaths in Iraq. It breaks all of the casualties down by age, race, branch of the military, country, etc.
