Movie star JAKE GYLLENHAAL has shocked American Gulf War veterans by joking they did nothing but "masturbate" during their time in the desert in 1991. The cheeky 25-year-old stars in JARHEAD, a movie exposing the US soldiers' lack of combat in the Middle Eastern conflict. He said, "The US soldiers were sent to the desert for 122 days and they sat in the same tent and did nothing, except a little too much masturbating."
That's one of the reasons the first Gulf War was so popular. We destroyed the invaders and hardly had to use any ground troops at all. I remember seeing a picture of a column of Iraqi troops who tried to retreat laying dead in the highway next to burning tanks. They were caught in the open, retreating and devestated by our Air Force and Navy/Marine Jets. In previous wars, the GI's would leave their seed with the local girls, but in this case they local girls were not an option, babuska or not!
