#1 Not just an Israeli Inuit soldier, but an Israeli Orthodox Jewish Inuit soldier. I got a kick out of this story.

#3 Robert: HER Cherokee blood. The picture with the article reveals she's a cutie pie.

#5 The Paleos don't have a chance if the Yapik start joining forces with Israel. Those people are phenomenal - in some ways better than the Israelis. A division of Inuit in Afghanistan would do wonders. Bin Laden and all his friends would surrender, just to ask for protection. I'll laugh all day on this!

#6 Ain't that America for you. That's almost as multicultural as the night I had dinner with my Gurkha buddy in an Indian restaurant across the street from a foot-washin' Baptist church . . . in Columbus, Ohio.

Brief, hilarious image of two guys in mukluks with grins and harpoons posing on either side of a dead Binny...

#9 The Alaska National Guard has long had Inupaq (northern and northwestern Alaska) and Yupik (Western Alaska, including St. Lawrence and Little Diomede islands) in their units. They are great cold weather soldiers. On winter manouvers, they would always bring some of their winter gear, like mittens and hats, which were superior to issued equipment. They would always bring along dried fish and seal oil to supplement the MRE's. In cold weather, seal oil give one heat and energy, I can personally testify. I had a sister-in-law that used to be in the guard. They had a picture of her in the Fairbanks News-Miner. Beautiful face you can fall in love with, but she was very deadly in her tight groups with the M-16.
