Well, that'll learn 'em.

"I've been asked to ask you to send some photos from downrange of the guys."

"Photos? Photos of what?"

"You know, the soldiers doing their thing. In good lighting, with smiles on their faces and in relative safety."

"Gotcha. But we don't have the connectivity for that right now."

"So any advice on what I should tell them?"

"Tell them to rent 'The Terminator.' We're pretty much living in those broken-down post-apocalyptic buildings that the humans are hiding in while fighting the robots. If that doesn't warm the cockles of their wee hearts, I don't know what will."

Uh, what in the world do people think the war is about, sunshine and rainbows? They are not deployed for 15 months in a combat environment where communications are sketchy and reports from theater include injuries and sometimes worse for nothing.....maybe they can check out the latest ARMY STRONG commercials, those guys seem to be smiling downrange and doing their jobs in remotely safe conditions.....
