Dr. Seuss in Iraq (OP DESERT STORM)

OUR AIR FORCE unit was put on standby during Operation Desert Storm. While we were passing time, the conversation turned to field chow halls and MREs (Meals Ready to Eat). I said that the powdered eggs weren't so bad once you got used to them. In response, my buddies came up with a verse in the tradition of Dr. Seuss's Green Eggs and Ham: "I will not eat them in Iraq, I will not eat them in attack. I will not eat them in the rain, I will not eat them with Hussein; I will not eat them here or there, I will not eat them anywhere. I do not like powdered eggs and ham, I do not like them, Uncle Sam."
