Kinda messed up...

"Did anyone watch the Oscars? My wife and I just finished watching it over here, did you see where they had troops in Iraq present the award for Best Documentary? They were standing in front of a lake and there was a mix of Army, Air Force and Navy folks. Well, anyway, they were all military broadcasters/public affairs troops, just like me! I know a few of them personally and as colleagues, all great people. If you've never been to Iraq, they were at Camp Victory, which is where General Petreaus' Headquarters is, at Saddam's old Palace complex in Baghdad. Anyway, I don't mean to in any way denigrate their service and what they're doing over there, but I wish the Oscar producers would have found and given some actual combat troops the opportunity to present the award. Or some of the guys working in Civil Reconstruction, the men and women really getting their hands dirty trying to rebuild Iraq."
