Bush Fails to Wear Hair Net While Serving Food in Baghdad
BAGHDAD — A growing controversy grew as the soldiers from the First Armored Division and the 82nd Airborne came down from the high they experienced during President Bush's surprise visit to Baghdad.
It emerged that President Bush had not worn a hair net while he served food to the troops. Army regulations require that army food servers were a hair net. As a result, there was serious fall out from the breach of protocol, namely his hair falling into the food.
"I found a hair in my dinner," said one soldier. "It was gray, just like the President's. It was disgusting."
"I found one too," said a female soldier. "It put me off my meal, which I was looking forward to."
"By not wearing a hair net, he spoiled Thanksgiving dinner," said a third soldier. "It would have been better if he hadn't come at all, and if Paul Bremer had read his message instead."
One food server at the dinner expressed his feelings about the incident. "He undermined our professionalism as food servers," he said. "Every day for thirteen months we've been here, doing our job, serving up food and taking fire from the real soldiers. But we've been wearing our hair nets. By coming here and interrupting his own Thanksgiving, which he could have had in Crawford, he disrespected us."...
