| Burger King, Pizza Hut and Subway may be coming back to Afghanistan. Oh, noze! Army Gen. David Petraeus, the new top U.S. commander there, is "seriously considering" rescinding the order that booted out 57 individual eateries and shops on U.S. bases, according to a military source in Afghanistan. "Y'r feedin' fast food to men and wimmins in a combat zone! 'Tain't good for 'em! And take their cigarettes, too! It's bad fer their health!" On Feb. 3, former Afghanistan commander Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal ordered 50 Army and Air Force Exchange Service concessionaires to close within 90 days following a review of morale, welfare and recreation activities. "The floggings will continue until morale improves!" Before McChrystal's order, AAFES operated 141 eateries and shops in Afghanistan, according to exchange service spokesman Judd Anstey. Now there are 84. "Have some more bean sprouts, Sarge!" "But I don't..." "Shuddup and eat yer bean sprouts!" "Yes, Nanny." Petraeus' spokesman confirmed that the general is reconsidering the order. "General Petraeus is considering a number of different issues, and this is one of them. He has not made a decision. However, all options are on the table," Army Col. Erik Gunhus said. |
