Subject: Blood Gulf! Real Soldiers, Real Stories!

We take a look at what our brave boys and girls overseas are doing when they're not having RPGs fired at them, and we interview a real fighting man who wouldn't cry if he heard a scary noise, or saw a bee, like we would.

I thought that was obvious - draining Iraq's power supply to fuel their Halo-crazed antics.

[color=lime] Pretty sweet, I would have expected there are more elements in battle that are parrelell to the Halo multi experiance [/color]

"Bother", said Pooh, as he chambered another round.

Was that Kelly the Spartan?

Wait, tell me more of these X-box live lounges that they get to play? Does that mean they can play Halo on X-box live? That would be cool. I never knew Halo was very big in the military.

Its great to know that the Men and Women fighting over in Iraq and Afganistan are using our tax dollars to play Halo. I can't think of better way to spend it.

That's what I thought too. My friend is doing the "Delayed Enlistment Program" for the Marines and after he runs his IST's after school, he has a Halo match at the recruitment station with the Sergeant and all the other soon-to-be Marines. Soldiers need to unwind to - and they do it by killing eachother! I know so many who play Halo and America's Army every chance they get (overseas). Those Air Force guys have it lucky! Air conditioned tents - the pilots even have quick set-up buildings with AC. But now I am rambling...

My Cousin and I (he's 26) would play HALO during any holiday that would occur, everyone had to come into my room and get us to go eat. He just went into the Army Rangers, and as soon as he's done with Training He goes to Iraq. I keep his Profile Name in my Xbox because I expect him to come back. It makes me feel good to know that when he goes over there, there will be something that reminds him of home...even though he plays inverted...I never got that...

[color=green]So explain to me, did they make up the name Kelly? Because Kelly has a wife... I'm totally cool if she swings that way though... Don't shoot me or anything. Camel spiders, bleh I would have crapped in my pants.

[color=green]LOL, just kidding... I totally knew that they made up the name. Yeah.. true Bungie fans. Dude in the future Microsoft will own the US military by sponsoring so many things. Microsoft will put into effect the first ever MJOLNIR armor! And we will step up to rule the world![/color]
