Red Bull’s deployment haiku contest

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?
