Hey, you guys got a trash can?

My cousin went to Iraq, and was part of the initial push in (you know the one that ended with a banner on an aircraft carrier). When he got home, and the only story he told me when I asked for stories (because I was a shitty 14 year old) was about sleeping in a hole, and a snake come slitering in. So they shot it with an M16. Marines are crazy.

Years later he was over at my place, and he starts to tell me the "real stories" which sound way more crazy. Worries about SCUD missles, and being scared shitless there might be chemicals in them. He also described the other 2 deployments as way harder.... but still no details, his wife was around.
