BAGRAM AFB, AFGHANISTAN — The first shipment of reinforced golf carts have arrived in theater at Bagram Air Force Base near the Afghan capital of Kabul, sources reported today.

"The new G-01F Enhanced Personnel Transporter is the latest addition to our warfighting capabilities here on the ground," explained Brig. Gen. Daniel Kosciuszko, Commander of Air Lift Wing 13, in a press conference. "Initially, I got some serious push-back from [former CENTCOM Commander] General Mattis on the subject. He called me a [expletive deleted] candyass fairy Air Force [expletive deleted] Polack and bodily threw me out of his office."

Koscuiszko paused to bring up a picture of the improved equipment on his slide show. "Fortunately, [new CENTCOM commander] Gen. Allen was so busy with the impending catastrophic defeat of his forces in Kandahar that I was able to slip this request by his G4."

Fielding a question from the Duffel Blog about the military purpose behind the glorified golf cart, Kosciuszko defended his position with panache.

Pentagon casualties, metric improvement, and Fat Leonard’s least dignified phase.

A State Department map that relocated most of Africa, one ambitious government travel card, and 5,200 medical students moved from dorms that definitely do not have mold.
