                          Shit: Through the eyes of the Military

                              *An Army grunt stands in the rain with a 35 
pound pack on his back, 15 lb. weapon in hand, after having
                              marched 12 miles, and says, "This is shit!"

                              *An Army Airborne Ranger stands in the rain 
with a 45 lb. pack on his back, weapon in hand, after having
                              jumped from an airplane and marched 18 miles, 
and says with a smile, "This is good shit!" 

                              *A Navy SEAL lies in the mud, 55 LB pack on his 
back, weapon in hand, after swimming 10 miles to shore,
                              crawling through a swamp and marching 25 miles 
at night past the enemy positions, says with a grin, "This
                              really is great shit."

                              *A Marine, up to his nose in the stinking, 
bug-infested mud of a swamp with a 65 LB pack on his back and
                              a weapon in both hands after jumping from an 
aircraft at high altitude, into the ocean, swimming 12 miles to
                              the shore, killing several alligators to enter 
the swamp, then crawling 30 miles through the brush to assault
                              an enemy camp, says, "I love this shit." 

                              *The Air Force NCO sits in an easy chair in an 
air conditioned, carpeted office and says, "My e-mail's
                              out? What kind of shit is this?"
