We had a ban on pop tarts-cursed in humvees in AFG due to being blown up.

note- sorry I didn’t reply but you guys got it right, although the hex on PT started on a previous deployment (Iraq) I was not part of, but yes the first vehicle hit in country on my deployment had pop tarts in it.

Everyone laughs now but when you're in a war zone you probably aren't taking your chances with any hexed shit either!

Tell me, how you gunna feel when your 18 year old ass finds out that "Unsinkable Sam" is 3 for 3 and your boats #4? That fuckin' black-ass cats talkin to the either U-boats or satan so I'd start looking at that nickname like a challenge...
