So what did you do last weekend? Barack Obama went to Afghanistan on Jack Ryan’s famous Air Force One jet-plane, and then ate bad food with these Air Force ladies. Ha ha, does Pete Souza ever tire of photographing the president doing the Terrorism Fisticuffs Jab with some kind of American Patriot? [White House Flickr]

SCANDAL: Obama Does Terrorist Fist Bump With Air Force Lady In Afghanistan: AND IT WAS WITH SOMEONE OTHER THAN HIS WIFE
No shots of his visit later that day to Osama Bin Laden’s hideout bachelor cave where they drank beer, watched NCAA games on OBL’s flatscreen and plotted the next 9/11??
Might as well stop calling it the Air Force and start calling it the Black Force.
My President is so sexy when he’s fisting.
[re=546496]ForTheTurnstiles[/re]: Don’t call it the Air Force – call it a group of C-Span callers…
Is he wearing Sarah Palin’s titty jacket?
His message was “Drill sergeant, drill.”
They let women into the Armed Forces? Black women? Does Dick Cheney know about this?
God, but I love that man.
Man, I haven’t had a Fanta strawberry in forever.
[re=546510]nappyduggs[/re]: This must have been the regiment that was in Glory.
How come he always terrorist fist bumps with darkies??? HENGHHH??
So, they only marched him by the colored mess table? It’s the Potemkin Air Force!
This is good news for John McCain!
[re=546510]nappyduggs[/re]: If Dick had his way, it would be an all Negro army-for all their wars.
[re=546496]ForTheTurnstiles[/re]: huh, actually, the Black Force sounds a hell of a lot more intimidating than some so-called “air force”. If ever there was a name that made you want to cross to the other side of the street, and pay attention to where your wallet is, at very least, that’s it, right there.
What’s up with all of the crossing guard belts. I haven’t seen those since the 6th grade. Do they even have crossing guards anymore?
President Obama and unnamed solder reenact the beloved photo of GOP Chair Michael Steele and the kid from “Life Goes On” to the delight of onlookers.

[re=546521]mumblyjoe[/re]: I was going to write “Soul Force” instead but I decided against shitting on Martin Luther King, Jr. I’d totally enlist in the Soul Force.

1.)Mmmmm. Denzel.
2.)How true.
[re=546522]Dashboard_Buddha[/re]: The rational behind wearing dayglo with camouflage is somewhat elusive. I think it must be ironic.
His coolness is in Al Green-meets-James Bond territory.
What so now all the black people get sent to Afghanistan. I see how it is.
Show that picture to Palin. That’s what a leader is supposed to look like in a leather jacket. Not like they’re picking up a few extra shifts at Voyeurs.
Seriously, Strawberry Fanta and chicken wings? This will be on some Teabagger poster.
[re=546496]ForTheTurnstiles[/re]: This is actually an Afghanistan-based contingent of the S1Ws.
[re=546540]Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire[/re]: That’s seriously my go-to meal whenever my wife leaves town and I get to eat whatever I want.

I know next to nothing about hairstyles…but what’s up with that airchick’s hairline? (I however, dig how the officer next to the prez is rockin’ the Cleopatra.)
ooops. maybe not an officer. Love the style, though.
Why does Obama hate our white troops?
Makes Palin’s jacket look like K-Mart. [we all know you can't stay away from Wonkette, Sarah]
[re=546534]King of the Dipshits[/re]: [re=546522]Dashboard_Buddha[/re]: These folks wear camouflage uniforms around a lot of powered equipment in the dark. The strips help the operators of that equipment (and each other) know where they are so they don’t run them over or suck one of them into an aircraft engine. They are often worn as part of the Physical Training uniform for a similar reason. You don’t want some truck driver to plow into a formation of running troops like he was some 85 year old San Francisco guy.
The reflective belts are a totally gay thing the Army insists on. Apparently, they can’t avoid getting hit by cars, so everyone on their bases has to wear a reflective belt to keep from getting run over. I’d never seen it with camos; it’s usually something you wear with your PT gear (The Air Force and Navy were smart enough to make their PT shorts and t-shirts reflective). It makes some sense; a lot of people jog in the dark, but in the daytime you look like you ought to be wearing a bike helmet and knee pads.
[re=546560]Lazy Media[/re]: The reflective belts are a totally gay thing the Army insists on.
Cool. So they’re all outta the pool now. No more Army! Hooray!
Possible reason the chicks are wearing belts over their camos is that they’re getting around the base by bicycle.
[re=546551]Dashboard_Buddha[/re]:
O, her hairline is the same as the soldier who has braids, but you can’t tell cuz of her uppity relaxer comb-over.
/Protip
Is this the “docking” I’ve heard so much about?
[re=546537]Mr Blifil[/re]: It’s an easy thing to have missed, don’t worry. See, the thing is, being mixed hasn’t made Obama not-racist, it’s made him double-racist. His black half is racist against white people, and the white culture, and that’s why he loves to tax tanning booths. But, also, his white half is racist against black people, so he taxes grape soda and sends them all to Afghanistan.
This is what “post-racial” means: just as post-modernism is like the modernist movement, only moreso, so to is post-racism a lot like racism, just against everyone, all the time.
Because of that clever camouflage uniform pattern no Afghani will ever spot the thousands of African-American troops in their country.
[re=546592]Scarab[/re]: Are you saying our American Army should start wearing Burqas? *peers at Scarab with a newfound suspicion*
Damn, y’all — you spent a tour in Afghanistan and ate chicken and grape soda the whole time? That’s like having a cheeseburger for Cinco de Mayo. Give these folks some palak paneer (okay that’s the Indian term, but Afghan cuisine has an equivalent) or some braised lamb. Hegemony’s a two-way street, biyatches.
The food these guys are eating is probably pretty good. I did some time in Baghdad. The contractor was KBR, and as much as it pains me to say it for a Halliburton subsidiary, they actually did a decent job. Four meals a day, totally free, and pretty good food, too.
Gained weight, though. I’ll need one of those XXXXL BFD shirts.
Dear God, it’s a terrorist operative! THEY’VE INFILTRATED THE ARMY!
[re=546517]mardam422[/re]: We bump them there so that we don’t have to bump them here. Simple.
[re=546709]Gumboz1953[/re]: Yeah, all my veteran acquaintances tell me that “S.O.S.” is a thing of the past, and that weight gain is constant problem.
I can’t tell for sure, but the black sergeant with the braids appears to be wearing either Parachutist or Air Assault wings (right below her “U.S. Air Farce” [sorry] strip).
Either way, I’d “Back of da Sister,” if you know what I mean. She’s a PLAY-AH!
we are all terrorist fist jabbers now!
[re=546645]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Ha, remember the outcry from Kandahar when the TGI Fridays got the shutdown order? That’s about as local as they get on bases these days.
The idea seems to be “give them the exact shit they eat at home, keep ‘em comfortable.” Of course everytime they go outside, Taliban tries to blow ‘em up, so I guess it doesn’t really matter. Bases are like shitty American strip malls/community colleges dropped by helicopter on some piece of dirt and surrounded with razor wire.
No wonder everybody hates us around the world, and no wonder our military people come home from YEARS or even decades abroad without even knowing how to say the name of the country correctly.
[re=547003]Ken Layne[/re]: Mebe so, but what about this?, henngh?
