CNN coverage of Rumsfeld visit...After his speech they showed an officer

[JohnnyRingo]

presenting him with a 1st Cavalry branding iron (approx 6"X4" on 2 foot handle)

I wonder what that's used for.

2. "Now that the torture has been exposed, we won't be needing this

anymore."

3. Actually, I remembered the movie scene (Appocalypse Now?)

Where soldier threw down playing cards on the enemy bodies as a way of "signing their work"

Maybe the iron is another way of doing that.
(I don't know, I've never seen such a thing)

4. the general staff

or maybe he'll give it to Condi to use on the little bushturd

he'll probably keep it for use at Gitmo though

[Demit]

5. * will add it to his collection of souvenirs, like Saddam's pistol

Also, doesn't boychimp have a history with branding, from his schooldays?
