Brevity by Dan Thompson for February 10, 2014

I thought their names were Willy and Joe.

Goes well with trench mouth and trench foot.

That might be grounds for court martial.

Back when the Army still had steel helmets, not Kevlar, in basic training they told us NEVER use your helmet for cooking. It removes the temper from the steel.

Good one.

immediately recognizable – nice tribute

@pschearerWe were told to keep our temper under the helmet.

Isn’t that how Starbucks does it? [grin]

Nowadays they just get on the cell and order Starbucks delivery?

Google is your friend.

Bill Mauldin, one of the greatest WW2 correspondents… Was in front lines with troops in Europe and the pacific… My compatriot.

Cool!Nice homage.

Damn fine tribute to Bill Mauldin!

IMHO, the best present I ever gave my WWII buff brother-in-law was a copy of Mauldin’s book I found at a flea market (of course, I made sure all the pages were there before I sent it).

Somebody asked yesterday, “Where has Ore gone?”She’s taking Okla home.

Nice shout out to Bill Maulden

Can’t do that with a Kevlar. Better helmet. Can’t cook in it though.

With thanks to Willie and Joe
