One of my best friends from high school is being deployed to Afghanistan on Wednesday morning.  I was chatting with him on the phone earlier and he was describing some of the briefings he's had to go through in the last few days.  Because he's a Medical Service Officer, he's had to undergo training to be able to respond to emergent situations ( e.g., putting in trache tubes) and to recognize some of the more common diseases, including one he called "athlete's foot of the penis."

Eww.

Now, I'm not saying nothin about what goes on over there when the lights get turned down.  And believe me, I respect and appreciate what all those men and women are doing.  But come on come on, guys.  Wash your socks!!
