A Soldiers Story

As a squad of US soldiers were patrolling the Iraqi border, they came across a badly mangled dead body. As they got closer, they found it was an Iraqi soldier. A short distance up the road, they found a badly mangled US soldier in a ditch on the other side of the road, struggling to breathe. They ran to him, cradled his blood-covered head and asked him what had happened. "Well," he whispered, "I was walking down this road, armed to the teeth when I came across this heavily armed Iraqi border guard. I looked him right in the eye and shouted, 'Saddam Hussein is an unprincipled, lying piece of shit!'" "He looked me right in the eye and shouted back, 'George Bush is an unprincipled, lying piece of shit too!'" "We were standing there shaking hands when the truck hit us."
