  I could not stop laughing and rolling on the ground when I read this. I think you can also post this under your Dokdo Madness subject.

  BTW, do you think having cartoon mascots work to the benefit of the military image? I know this will never work for the US military, but in certain Asian countries it seem to work.

  Just curious as to your thoughts on this.
