Our Ruthless Enemy
Oct 14, 2022
A little dated now, but back when we were getting ready to deploy to Iraq the 2003 "Battlestar Galatcica" reboot was new and still fresh in our minds. Finding out that the Cylons were being recast as religious extremists was pretty surprising, almost as surprising as finding out that Starbuck was a woman (as opposed to the original 1979 TV series).
The Cylons as religious extremists seemed to dovetail with our expectations of the enemy we were told about-- intolerant religious extremists in the Middle East, so the comparison seemed apt.

BOHICA Blues
38.1k views32 subscribers
What's it like to be in the Army for real, and get deployed to a place like the Iraq War? In BOHICA Blues, I turn my actual experiences into a slice of absurdist humor and walk you through this period of history from one person's perspective.
Using the classic TV show "M*A*S*H" as a guide, I created BOHICA Blues in 2013 to tell the story of what a deployment was like, with the absurdities of military life and war for all to see. It starts with the initial mobilization news, and goes on from there. BOHICA Blues isn't as "salty" as a lot of veteran humor; it doesn't have F-bombs, gore, or nudity: it could hypothetically appear on regular broadcast television.
Hopefully you can enjoy this and invite others to see what the Iraq War was like from someone who went there and is willing to share the experience with a laugh.
