Via Kate:
Thanks to Jules Crittenden, who gives us the transcript:
“You know any insurgents? You don’t know any insurgents? Well, if you get where you’re going … right now it’s 1600 … just, uh, let the insurgents know Sierra Deuce is on Bug, and we’ll be here for about another hour if they want to come and shoot at us. All right?
(Marine holds up shotgun, points to himself in effort to convey message)
” … uh, Mujahideen? Shoot? Right there, OK? … So, I mean, they can come at us from either direction, we don’t care. Right now we just want to shoot at anything. But preferably, like, within an hour. Because we gotta go back and sleep and eat chow and shit like that.”
“Oh, you’re going to Baghdad? Oh, there’s a shitload of them there, dude. Just, like, drive around the town and, like, tell them. Sierra Deuce is on Bug. We’ll be here for an hour. We want to play. Tell them to quit being pussies and cowards, and come out and shoot at us. We haven’t had any action since we’ve been out here. It’s crazy.”
“I know. But we just want to shoot at something. All right? Wear your seatbelt, don’t run with scissors and drink milk. Have a nice day. Go ahead … yeah, go ahead. Yeah. Wear your seatbelt!”
Classic!
