WTF?!?!?: Pentagon to families: Go ahead, laugh ....
When the stress of the war in Iraq becomes too severe, the Pentagon has a suggestion for military families: Learn how to laugh.

With help from the Pentagon's chief laughter instructor, families of National Guard members are learning to walk like a penguin, laugh like a lion and blurt "ha, ha, hee, hee and ho, ho."


No joke.


"I laugh every chance I get," says the instructor, retired Army colonel James "Scotty" Scott. "That's why I'm blessed to be at the Pentagon, where we definitely need a lot of laughter in our lives."

Nope, sorry. Not seeing the humor. :shrug:



Note: That was a thought exercise. I personally don't have a son/daughter, let alone one serving in Iraq.

3. I am reminded of a joke during Vietnam.
Which I will not repeat, but soldiers all thought it was funny.
