IRAQ Flashback

So what's the difference between the port-a-john on the top and the ones on the bottom? Only about 7,300 miles. The top one is in the US and the bottom ones in Iraq. One late evening I decided I needed to go running. So I set off around urban Redding CA. It was about 100 degrees at 8:00 PM and dark. I was running near some road construction and all of a sudden I caught a whiff of a familiar smell. Not my favorite but, how could I forget the smell of a rotting port-a-john in sweltering heat. I could not see it but, the smell was unmistakable. You would sweat so much, and gag sometimes when you had to use the latrine in Iraq. Most soldiers who have been to combat have flashbacks of intense combat situations. Me, a port-a-john!
