I'm guessing that is satire, but the "We need to do more" statement sure adds a scary realism to the piece.

I'm pretty sure the entire site is satire, unless someone thinks that this article is legit.

I'm hoping that it is true because I would totally buy one of these trucks to cruise the oceanfront :hysterical:

It's so in keeping with the cranial-rectal inversion of the present regime that I almost believed it, until I remembered who duffelblog is.

You mean it's not a testbed to gauge public acceptance on what the military wants to try next?

You put 2ndLts in charge of uniform policy and this is what you get. I'm expecting it to be complete with a head band or dew rag.

It is a very well done satire site. The people there are or were in the military and they create some great "articles" like Stephen Colbert's "Conservative" TV show and Jon Stewart's "News". It is well enough done to fool a Kentucky voter to contact Senate minority leader McConnell. It sounds like McConnell's staff didn't put too much effort into researching the request before contacting the pentagon.
