Tapestries
Description: During Operation Iraqi Freedom the Multi-National Corps Iraq (MNCI) formed an Information Operations Task Force to combat enemy disinformation and misinformation and to reach target audiences with positive information about the Coalition. IOn effect, we wanted the insurgents to dance to OUR tune instead of the other way around. What better nickname could we have than Task Force Scopitone, named after the crazy multilingual music videos of the 1960s! The "badge" incorporated twin palm trees as a frame, a sword with a lightning bolt signified information as a weapon and the snake being hit with it represented the insurgency.
Description: I saw this in a museum in Hanau. It seems that witches really made a pest of themselves to the point where a local gunmaker named stuck came up with a way to get rid of them. Soon, those broom-riding vermin emigrated France, where that sort of thing was more tolerated. Or at least that's what the Germans told me.
Description: While stationed in the Sinai as a peacekeeper I saw all kinds of moneymaking schemes: in Sharm el-Sheikh there was a MAS Bowling Center, in al-Arish there was a decent beach on the Mediterranean," and in Ismailia they have the Izakaya Restaurant where they serve a mean Double Chicken Hamburger. I'm surprised that no one started doing tours of the desert...
Description: Ayman Mohammed Rabie al-Zawahiri was an Egyptian-born Islamic jihadist and terrorist. After the September 11 attacks, the United States Department of State offered a US$25 million reward for information or intelligence leading to al-Zawahiri's capture. He was killed in Afghanistan on July 21st, 2022. Good riddance.
