Just to enlighten some of you, Mr. Seal's signature says "MWR Technician". He is a civilian who works for the Department of Defense, perhaps former military enlisted himself. "MWR" stands for Moral, Wellness, and Recreation, which manages most matters relating to these items. That include running movie theaters, gyms, and softball leagues...or the varients found down range. "Technician" apprently means that he currently does not have enough to do.
On a slightly related note, the fact that a DoD guy in Iraq is indeed "wrapped around the axel" regarding football should tell you what it is really like over there. If you rely only on the nightly news to give you your opinion about what things are like now in Iraq, you would find it odd that Mr. Seal is making any comments at all regarding football. But this is just how much things have improved there. Having been there three times, the most recent just this past summer, I'm happy for the Iraqi people (who I have found to be genuine and gracious hosts in the same spirit that we southerns pride ourselves in being) and proud of the work that we have done.
So go on Mr. Seal, criticize what you can not have. Its a Bama thing, you wouldn't understand. Question our ways all you want, but come home safe when your time is up there...and thanks for your support.
