If you're concerned about mixing alcohol and firearms, let me run over
some basic rules then:
Don't F---- with a Marine (or most other US military persons)
Don't F---- with an armed American
Especially Don't F---- with the above while they're under the influence.
Follow these simple rules and you should be safe!
...Back to military vehicles, I see humvees and cargo trucks in those
photos. Think maybe there was some drinking and driving with said heavy
equipment? I'm not saying that I haven't... Or that I oppose our
fighting boys doing so... I've heard about how bad the locals drive
around there from my aussie bud in Iraq! He said something like "there's
3 million drivers and not a single @#$%in license!"

Subject: Re: [MV] Mardi Gras in Iraq
Did anyone else notice the ammount of soldiers drinking beers while they
still had their side-arms?
That seems like a recipe for trouble to me. I guess nothing happened or
we would have heard about it.
I don't have a problem with and completely understand that soldiers
need to blow off some steam like that.
And I understand that it is still a combat zone so there need to be
armed soldiers around. But the drinking ones shouldnt be armed, and the
vise versa, the armed ones shouldnt be drinking.
Just my two cents.
Other than that Im relieved to see deployed soldiers having a good time.
I know from experience that good times are usually few and far between
on deployments like that.
