SG: Live Show in Iraq ?

It's not likely, but it is something that you could probably find private funding to do, seriously.

Actually, getting military escort wouldn't be difficult. If you went there, they would almost have to give it to you, so as to avoid a media incident. Think about it.

It's really a pity that the SG Burlesque troupe can't pay a visit to the troops in Iraq. They could call themselves the Suicide Bombergirls and do The Dance of The Many Veils (That Never Come Off).

also.......*ahem*

Flux as a cheerleader?!

"Gimme an H
Gimme an O
Gimme an M
Gimme an E
Gimme an R
Gimme an I
Gimme a C
Gimme a T
Gimme an R
Gimme an A
Gimme an N
Gimme an S
Gimme an L
Gimme an A
Gimme a T
Gimme an I
Gimme an O
Gimme an N

What does it spell? Homeric translation!"

but how the hell are we going to win the war without robot cheerleaders??

You could call it the Tour of Duty.. Now wait, Jessica and Nick used it first. They really did tour Iraq.

Most likely the USO said know because SG is a bit "R" rated and they felt is would not be proper, Cheerleaders while they may be scantily clad is a bit safer and less likely to offend any one. They try to get stuff that they hope will be good for every one and some times that does force them to exclude things they feel might not go well (as in piss to many people off our make the military look bad). Otherwise they would of set up strip clubs in Basrah by now. That and the idea of girls who do have naked picture on the internet might not be the best people to bring into a Moslem country. Would the guys there like to see them? Yes, but some times you just have to make sacrifices for local politics and other things.

You kids seen this? Seems like it's up this alley.

"there is a lot of soldier support for SG"

Ahem (clearing throat) not just "soldiers!" Flux went out of her way to support Marines when I was in country.

By the way, the USO sucks!! They send cheerleaders to huge secure bases for the potg's to ogle at while those of us on the front are still eating MRE's or tray rats if we're lucky, the only women we see are covered in burkas, if they are not, that means they are like 12.

The only POA I got to see was when I was stuck in the hospital and LeeAnn Tweeden made her rounds. (that was a pretty good day though )

Iraqis seem to consider a sin to watch Tom & Jerry, which I hear is a favorite.

It's a damn shame that the girls can't go over there, that would totally boost the morale.

It boosted mine when I saw them last week.

I guess there will be no beer spitting or spraying then.

I never got to see a USO show.

But that's because I was actually out there doing shit. *shrug*

Just send pictures and letters! You can keep those!

An SG USO show is probably the smartest idea anyone in uniform ever came up with about anything ever.

Huah! to that

No I havn't, thanks for filling me in though

Word, son...now we just need to get the Browns cheerleaders.

I don't want to get started on all the issues I have with the military as I could go on for quite a while, but keeping on topic, I will say this...

An SG USO show would undoubtedly be amazing! However, it could never happen. Why? Consider this... Do you really think that a military that has been trying to prohibit visible tattoos on its service members would like to promote individuality and self-expression?

*sigh*

You couldn't be more wrong. I QUOTE directly from the dress and deportment regulations I coincidently have sitting right here.

"Members shall not acquire visible tattoos that could be deemed to be offensive (e.g., pornographic, blasphemous, racist) or otherwise reflect discredit on the CF."

Besides, the army loves Suicide Girls

I speak primarily on my own branch. There has been debate going on for years about tattoo restrictions. However, I don't see it happening. It was attemped a couple years ago and enlistment numbers dropped dramatically.
