Wourism

"wour-ism [woor-iz-uhm]
–noun

1. the activity or practice of touring, esp. for pleasure, in a federally recognized combat zone.

2. the business or industry of providing information, accommodations, transportation, and other services to warriors.

With a little extra time on my hands, I decided to strap on my fanny-pack, charge up the flash bulbs and go see the sites. There is a whole industry catering to fobbits (FOB=forward operating base, fobbit=one who never leaves the base) like myself. There is Pizza Hut, Subway, a Green Beans Coffee, a bunch of clothing stores, knock-off antiques merchants, and more."
