Sounds like someone needs a hug! At least it wasn’t his blogging finger…
Speedy recovery, Major!

I hope he can still grip his cocktail glass.
Yes, Maybee me too. And all the other things a soldier need to grip,
Get well soon, Major John!
– Well at least it wasn’t his “other” finger. Major, PWer’s always want to know how its going, how you’re doing. I Guess you could call us PoW’s of MJ. Kick ass… OooooRaaaaah. Sempre fi.
Thanks – I’ll have to wait until I get home to grip any cocktail glasses, tho’… I’m off to bed now, as it is 10:30pm here, and I am wiped out by the last couple of days.
Oh, I will be able to revive in the morning, thanks to happyfeet. RoBOOSTo to the rescue.
Well, when you ARE able to grip a cocktail glass, the first one’s on us.
Get well soon!
Heh. Heal quick, Major John. And stop doing that!
Glad it wasn’t more serious, and that you’re recovering!
Major–
Under the Kerry Protocol, you are now eligible for a Purple Heart, gift-wrapped and equipped with a lanyard for throwing over the White House fence.
Furthermore, you are now entitled to testify indignantly in front of Congress about nonexistent events you never witnessed.

Not a funny headline by Karl at all. Not cool Karl.
Those 9-finger push ups gotta be a bear Major John. Shake it off.
Get well soon. You’re America’s G-damn finest.
al,
It’s a true headline. Had it been “Major John injures a finger in Iraq,” someone would say I wasn’t taking it seriously enough.
Get well soon, Major John. You da man! You really are da man!
Of all the luck, go to war and get hurt in a car crash.
At least he didn’t fall off a toilet!
yeah, that’s something to be thankful for. One of RTO’s soldiers fell off the top bunk while on R&R in Qatar (he wasn’t drunk! no really!). cracked his head open and had to go home for two months. never heard the end of it.
oh, and get well soon, Major John.
This one guy went home on leave and got hit by a car and come the end of the month he’ll be cited by NPR as a casualty of war. Here. Except that NPR actually probably won’t mention it cause the number is too low this month for their comfort zone.
al, I can see where you are coming from. Thanks. I am laughing this one off, and appreciate what Karl did, too- so, you are both right.
Now off to my day – wouldn’t bother so much without trying to lift and put on 60+ pounds of armor and kit.
For a minute I thought it was something serious. Not that a broken finger doesn’t hurt like a bitch, but given the circumstances I thought blood and body parts were involved.
Been there. Done that, major, twice. After the dance-of-pain what hurts the worst is the ribbing you get from your buddies. No hugs for you. You and your people be safe out there, mkay?
Happy Memorial Day Major. Remember, the rubber side goes down.
