If there is any tiny bit of truth to this story then I put it in the same catagory as the time in 2004 that me and 49 of my LCpl friends spent the day picking up cigarette butts from the last three decades around a Iraqi railhead station that we had turned into our forward operating base, all because the commandant of the Marine Corps was coming to visit us... The commandant doesnt give a shit about old Iraqi cigarette butts on the ground in Iraq.... but some GySgt between me and the commandant thought he might..... thus I picked them up. Now I'm the GySgt... and I try to remember not to make my guys do stupid shit....
