gratuitous moment

this photo is utterly gratuitous eye candy, and i’m posting it anyway. so shoot me.

arushi alerted me to it at bartcop.com, where it was posted with the following commentary:

Subject: another deployment to Iraq for me 

Well Ol’ Bart, I got the call for another deployment to Iraq (my 2nd there). This time they gave me well advance notice that I’ll leave in either November or January for at least six months (thank god not a year or more like others are getting hit for).

I’ll continue to subscribe to you while there and know that people like you and the others who read are the ones who really care about the people in uniform (except for the far left wing, and far right wing readers). I’ll write in more from now till then, and even while over there.

Just writing to let you know that there are some people in uniform who do care about what you write, and what you stand for.

Dude, if you were gay, they’d let you stay home. You ever seen a pictures of Agent Mulder without his shirt on? …think before you answer…

I’m Oklahoma straight AND happily married, but I gotta admit the man looks OK in this picture 🙂

Stay safe, Dude, …and are you sure you’re not the least lil bit stirred by this picture? Print this picture out and hand it to your CO when you report. Tell them “I’m fighting for Dave!” and they may let you stay.
