Red Bull’s deployment haiku contest

Here’s a sampling he sends along: Eight deployments down most surreal thing I’ve seen is KAF’s TGIF ***** This summer sandstorm Couldn’t blind the first sergeant To my day-old shave. ***** A circling bird calls: War on TV is phoned-in, COIN-operated ***** Where is the Kandak? ...

Meanwhile, Chief Red Bull is holding a haiku contest. Here’s a sampling he sends along:
Eight deployments down
most surreal thing I’ve seen is
KAF’s TGIF
*****
This summer sandstorm
Couldn’t blind the first sergeant
To my day-old shave.
*****
A circling bird calls:
War on TV is phoned-in,
COIN-operated
*****
Where is the Kandak?
Alone at the command post.
Oh, it’s Thursday night!
*****
Sprint in a flight suit
Long tarmac, rip my crotch
Warm Iraq breezes
*****
Our trucks move like ducks
waddling between ponds and now
stuck in this wadi
*****
Silly pogue don’t know
Gunslingers don’t drink lattes
Macchiato sir?
