F*** Socialism!
Even if you weren't in the service you can appreciate this one.
A US Air Force C-130 was scheduled to leave Thule Air Base,
Greenland at midnight. During the pilot's preflight check, he
discovers that the latrine holding tank is still full from the last flight.
So a message is sent to the base and an Airman who was off duty is
called out to take care of it.
The young man finally gets to the air base and makes his
way to the aircraft only to find that the latrine pump truck has been
left outdoors and is frozen solid, so he must find another one in the
hangar, which takes even more time.
He returns to the aircraft and is less than enthusiastic
about what he has to do. Nevertheless, he goes about the pumping job
deliberately and carefully so as not to risk criticism later.
As he's leaving the plane, the pilot stops him and
says, 'Son, your attitude and performance has caused this flight to be late
and I'm going to personally see to it that you are not just reprimanded
but punished.'
Shivering in the cold, his task finished, the Airman takes a deep breath, stands tall and says, 'Sir, with all due respect, I'm not your son; I'm an Airman in the United States Air Force. I've been in Thule, Greenland, for 11 months without leave, and reindeers are beginning to look pretty good to me. I have one stripe; it's 2:30 in the morning, the temperature is 40 degrees below zero, and my job here is to pump sh*t out of an aircraft.
Now, just exactly what form of punishment did you have in
mind?
