Thanks jedburgh for posting these links. I'm developing a story on this subject for a magazine and you're doing my research.

Featherock just published a story in the Walrus on latrine graffiti. I know, it should go in the K Club, but it seemed to be appropriate here. Great story, BTW...

All I know, is that "The 800th MPs suck *ss", and "SPC Johnson makes my p*ssy tingle".

That's all I'm sayin', man...

And, oh yeah, "Pogs(sic) Suck! Infantry Rules!"

Hey Marc !
An amusing story with some rather sad "potty posts". I was relieved to see that there are few if any racist remarks from the late 70s, but the 3-sided swastika in jpeg number 13 concerns me.

Folks here have conveniently replaced the traditional 4-sided swastikas (which by law are banned) with the "three sevens" and most of these people belong to/or worship skin head groups, and lately the Hells Angels.

Has our military been infiltrated by gang members, or, have we raised a bunch of naive youth to fight our next war ?

Hi Guys,

CR6, yeah, it is "mundane", but it's actually a good way to get a read on current gripes, complaints and problems. There's been some really good work done on looking at humour as an indicator of structural problems, and this is an outgrowth of that.

Hi Stan, yeah, I'd seen the Triskels, but hadn't realized which way they were going ..

The Swastika is banned? Where? I know in is in Germany, but are you talking about Estonia or the US ?????

Maybe I should let Ken answer that one !

Hi Guys,

From what I've seen in the Baltic, the swastikas are going in the right direction (are we allowed to say that herein?)

Welcome to the European Union
Estonia decided to ban the wear of Soviet and Nazi Uniforms, awards and decorations (from both armies) following last year's uprisings moving the RED bronze dude to the military cemetery

Not sure what happens in the States these days, but we have rejected several Estonian candidates during visa and US Military training interviews for wearing Soviet or Nazi apparel... gotta start somewhere.

Maybe I should let Ken answer that one !

Actually, there's another member here that wanted HS dropouts permitted eligibility to the Army Forces... not too hard to figure out where that will get us
