Ginseng for the mind
If you go to the link above, you can reference my little story.
Beer makes one more clever. Well, so far mice, but if it’s a story of mice and men, I’m sure a great deal of people in this place are mice. Beer makes the brain grow new nerve cells, thus empowering the brain. Empower the brain, and maybe the village idiot can move to a higher class town, hey? hmm…The Army, for at least a few years, has said that it is striving for a ‘higher class’ soldier, a smarter one. That is a great contrast from what my first 1SG told me, that technically, NCO’s don’t have to be able to read. I’m sure a few of the Oh’s would still like that…ok, digressing…
Lets figure out why we’re not able to drink on deployments……..um, well…anyone? I can sort of understand here, since alcohol is outlawed in the region of the world where the worlds first alcoholics were born, so there’s that. Any other reasons? I’ve heard it’s so that people don’t come to work hung-over…which makes absolutely no sense. I guarantee that most of us have gone to work before just completely not in the mood to do anything but sleep with earplugs in. The good thing about being shitfaced hungover at work is that by the time you start to feel better, you only have an hour left on the clock, and WOOHOO! back to the bar my friends…it makes the week go by so damn fast that you never know what hit you. A year in a complacency-creating shrine to fraud waste and abuse would go by so goddamn quickly that people might actually volunteer to come back…but alas, along with absolutely no sense of humor, we’re not authorized to actually enjoy ourselves. There’s a whipping pole inside the 1SG’s office to strap you to if you’re found guilty of having fun…anyways…
Maybe we’re not supposed to drink for fear that more fuglies will get the opportunity of a lifetime and find peace within the cusp of an orgasm…but that doesn’t make sense either. So many people here are wasting precious grams of protein everyday, either on the sheets or being swallowed…who knows, I don’t really ask. Hell, I know of at least one guy in sort of a non-binding contract to fulfill Intel girls fantasies with the fear of reprise being one of the two glues keeping that union in an ugly pretzel shape. (By the way, if you do infact read this, you know who you are, remember, ACT OF CONGRESS! quit being a damn pussy!) Anyways, since humans here are doing the unthinkable, and following human nature, it’s proven that a glass of bier isn’t the cause.
The only real reason I can think that we cannot partake in a nice piss-warm glass of some lite beer is that a few people might actually have the balls to quit sucking ass and tell one of 7000 officers to shove it, quit making dumb policy, don’t expect me to enforce it, and sir, you heard of a little thing I like to call Common Sense!!? ahh, but to disrupt the caste system of the gods and servants would bring chaos, or worse, it might be like the Army….for shame, I’ll whip myself after this for thinking such heinous thoughts…
Chuckie, toes.
Who really opposes drinking? No, not just during driving, but at all? The forever self righteous fire breathing right-wingers. I’m not talking the moderates so much, but those little bugs stuck to the edge of the little hairs of a feather on that wing. The ones that make all the noise, also. I’m not just talking the Christian righties, it really goes with any religion. (This still never made sense to me, the church needs numbers, and they get that through propagation…what better way than to get two strangers drunk and yelling OH GOD!) Now, since it seems that the Right has the back of the services, inherently we must put up with the bullshit of the screaming fanatics. So to get them to shut their pie holes a little, the moderates cave, give a little ground. Who’s not drinking gonna hurt? They listen to the same yelling nuts about drugs (I’m not supporting this, but hey…) and how they make people do stupid shit. Have you noticed the people making the noise are the same ones that openly admit to never having a drink or toking a little on lunch hour in the parking lot? How the hell can you say something is bad for you if you haven’t tried?
I’m not supporting the direct opposite either, by the way. The last thing I want to do is be on a patrol with a hippy and his jingle jangle’s on his boot cuffs giving my position away, talking about how cool the stars are, and OHH, a shooting star! Look DUDE, A SHOOTING STAR!. No, Dude, that’s tracer fire you’re attracting, fucking hippy.
Ok, so anyways, I’m saying that a drink or two is supported by medical science to make one more healthy in many ways, helping stave off cancers, keep the colon cleansed, boost brain cell growth, and help the body heal after being bombarded by gamma radiation…So, why aren’t we allowed to have a beer again?
