Women use more toilet paper than men, twice as much, in fact. In Hungary, we kept noticing supplies were vanishing and thought someone was stealing. Then we noted it was a problem more of one sex than the other. A female officer enlightened us of the facts of life, to our male chagrin!

Those big giant conex carriers, the kind where the tires are as tall as a man, the learning lesson was never to ride on the wheel cover while in motion. On Basra, an Iraqi male was doing just that when the vehicle hit a bump and he fell forward and was crushed to death.

Gaining access to a high security poppy farm well armed was one of my best rushes crossing over their lines and completing our TF with zero casualties of our side.
