Interesting, I guess the Mongols are in the fight too!

Oh well maybe not fighting :) but there

One of the engineers I work with came back from Iraq this week, and told me of the truely multinational force he was encamped with. I knew there were plenty of the folks we expect to see there, but he told me their compound had Poles, Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians ,Georgians, and then he said Mongols. Didn't even think that they had a large army but yet deployed troops to Iraq. Interesting! I realize they arnt there in huge numbers but heck the second largest group there is the hired private security forces.

Isn't Mongol the big dude in Blazing Saddles? Cuz he would be an awesome addition to our armed forces... shit the guy can knock out a horse with one clean punch to the mouth!

Oh and he can stick his face into a burning fire to light a cigar too...

No that was Mongo and he's "just a pawn in the game of life"...:tongue:

Yepper mongo,

not Mongols, the Mongols had a float in the parade in Animal House, the one that ended up on the fire hydrant with water out the mouth and ears.
(not the right float but the only one I could find)

Mongo was a Finn!

According to Wikipedia they have sent 700-800 soldiers to Iraq.

I think it was too much to ask of the Germans to go withuot beer...That's why they did Kosovo instead! ;)

And the french needed to get back to their 'whine' and needed the surrender flags for tablecloths.:boohoo:
