RE: Psychobabble

Comment comment by VnutZ on 06 March 2008

Not me. Strangely, our FOB was remarkably barren of critters. I think I saw a few cats once but they scurried away into the darkness and I never saw them again. And I certainly didn't abuse my pets (or family) when I returned either.

As a matter of fact, I friend of mine is over there right now that befriended a puppy they found on their Iraqi compound. He's actually pissed that he'll probably have to take pictures of himself with the puppy off his page before fanatics start "interpreting" them as some kind of pre-torture.

Another friend of mine even had a pet rat that lived near his building. He enjoyed trying to get the rat to come out from hiding just for the sake of having some sort of animal companionship.

On another tour a friend was telling me about a random horse that showed up on their FOB that everyone thought was pretty cool.

Our mechanics had a dog, the detainee camp had a dog (who was the laziest, yet smartest dog ever-- he would walk five feet and nap but would bolt for cover a minute before mortars would come in) and I had a goat. No abuse anywhere.
