BAGHDAD – In the latest strategic move by General Raymond Odierno, American troops will be allowed to enjoy their Super Bowl 
celebration in the company of weekend player’s ‘Samuel Adams’, ‘Miller’ and ‘Bud’.Odierno lifted the strict ban of drinking alcoholic beverages in a combat zone for Super Bowl weekend, Feb. 1-2.
This may be the first time such a move has occurred and while the kegs will be flowing, the troops will be limited to two 12 ounce cold ones each day.
I suggest for the guys who consider two drafts a warm-up to shine the boots of the few non-drinkers and have them slide them their two beer passes.
Assuming the “less filling, tastes great” arguments do not evolve into anything more than a friendly bantering between the soldiers, this is hard not to support.
Taking these men and women away from their stressful environment for a while will only escalate their morale, at least until they return to reality after America’s biggest game concludes.
If you would like to tip one with the troops, you’ll need to do it after midnight. The kickoff in Tampa will be occurring at 2 a.m. Baghdad time.
Hats off to Gen. Ordierno, this Bud’s for you!
