Oh, I see. They are anti-grass! Horrible military, against grass. What has it ever done to you?! I bet it's because it is green!

(j/k - no death threats from the cav please)

Exactamundo. Waaaaaaaaaaaay back when, in Korea, the 4/7 Cav was at Camp Gary Owen. We would often run into those guys in a little town called Yongjugol - where all the working girls, well, uh,worked - and often, after too much we would all end end up in fights. Cav and Infantry don't get along too well!!!
