The First Couple is also invited to the prime minister's house, where Mrs Obama and Samantha Cameron, wife of British leader David Cameron, will host a barbecue for British and American military vets.
The men will 'wear aprons to serve burgers and sausages' writes the Sunday Times.

My Irish cousins are probably beside themselves with joy. But then, they thought that the carnage and political fallout after katrina was funny, as were losses in Iraq. Shortly after the day that ten Marines were killed in Iraq, one of them made to jeer that "you Yanks aren't having a good time of it there are you?" I noted that I was a Mraine veteran and expressed my wish that the devil take him.

A $300 lift kit from AirLift Mfg. probably would've worked just fine. It does for my truck when towing my 5th wheel.
But, JEF wouldn't know anything about that, would he.

That MAY work with the proper speed, but in the standard Differential drive train, there's the chance that the vehicle would lift one rear wheel causing it to spin uncontrollably and prevent the vehicle from moving forward.
But, being that this is a JEF vehicle, it wouldn't have such limitations in the drive line, now would it. It's GOT to be a full time 4wd if not at LEAST AWD, correct?

My MOS was 13-Mike, the MLRS artillery system. Our primary vehicle, the M270 Self-Propelled Loader Lencher (SPiLL) was pretty rough on traffic/parking structures. Every long convoy through tiny little German/Belgian/Luxy cities resulted in at least a few traffic signs getting clipped (they sometimes tore off completely and flew like frisbees if hit at a decent enough speed) and I personally ground more than my share of curbstones into dust.
Someday I'll tell a real nightmare Army vehicle vs. Structure story. Actually, I'll scan a newspaper account of it when I get a chance to black out some id'ing details.

Sorry, Jon Favreau: "If you need somebody to do some good writing, you hire an Irishman," President Obama said earlier today in Dublin.
Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny gave the president a set of books about Hawaiian myths written by an Irish writer, a gift for Sasha and Malia. But don't worry, Obama didn't leave empty-handed.
Kenny gave Obama a hurling stick, which the president brandished like a baseball bat. Hurling, sort of like lacrosse and field hockey, is an Irish national obsession.
"If members of Congress arenÂ’t behaving, give 'em a little paddle, a little hurl," Obama said.

Don't be a tease. We need to hear this one out. This should beat the story I heard from a Navy type on a replenishment ship in the late 70's/early 80's tasked to do a burial at sea, and then return the mourners to port and then join a task force going on deployment. Except that the coffin failed to sink. Chaos (and gunfire) ensued.

Shoosh, we had a LAV try and jump a missing section of overpass in Iraq. Seems jumping a LAV is not quite the same as the Gen'l Lee. Fortunately all Marines survived. Funny what happens to people when they don't get enough sleep.

Jean, our stories are very similar. A German hill and "big fucking deal" status were part of mine as well.

Aye, tis true... believe the crowd was chanting a traditional Irish greeting when JEF and the Mule arrived.
"Pogue ma hon! Pogue ma hon!" they all cried with great glee and laughter in their hearts.
And so the JEF raised a pinkie and downed a sip of Guinness, and all was well in Eire.

They survived, however, there were injuries. Broken bones mostly. There was a lot of paperwork involved. It seems higher command has some difficulty in understanding the manuever undertaken. The LAV held up remarkably well.

201 The smaller car before the JEFFF's car also bottomed out, but just made it over. The driver of Jefff's limo should have seen that and knew damn well that the fucking land yacht he was driving wasn't going to make it over.

As long as no one was hurt, that's a contender right there. My best one was watching the two jackasses next to me injuring themselves with practice grenades DURING the safety lecture. The bottoms are hollowed out so as to permit the placement of a small charge to make noise. The first genius caught the attention of the second, and then stuck his friggin' finger into the grenade. Famous last words," Hey, I think that this one is armed". I ducked quicker than the braintrust. The DIs and instructors were somewhat agitated. One nearly lost an eye and Mr. Hands-on required mulitple stitches.

With the term, "bottomed-out," well, you know Moo was aboard.
I am still laughing at the loud "clang" sound. I would give anything to have seen and heard the magic couple after their suspension. JEF could be found in the fetal position and in need of a pantaloon change (fortunately one SS agent has a spare at all times).

Somebody raise the vehicle barrier before the car had cleared it. This happens when somebody isn't paying attention to their job. Or it happens when a non-embassy person(i.e. -Secret Service) orders the barrier raised.

Watched the video closely and the barrier did not move an inch from the down position. The operator of the security gate is in the clear.
