Half Time

"After a grueling fight (in Iraq), a company of infantrymen was resting and opening their first mail delivery of the war.  One of the young soldiers had received a care package and was sharing the home-baked cookies with his friends. A photographer with a heavy French accent asked if he could have one. The soldier looked him over and said there would be no cookies for Frenchmen.  The photographer then protested that he was half Italian. Without missing a beat, the soldier broke a cookie in half and gave it to him."

- Columnist Jim Lacey, National Review as quoted in News and Views
