This story gives you a slight glimpse into the outright wackiness that is a modern military operation. For an in deoth acccount of the "Goofy War on Terror," check out the new book, "Don't Clean the Table with a floor mop," written by a Naval officer who spent a year mentoring the Afghan NAtional Army.
