I found this on another veteran web site. It purports to be a list of t-shirts that the PX is now prohibited from selling to the troops in Iraq. Since I cannot verify it's accuracy, I thought I'd post this in the "Humor" section as some of the T-shirt slogans are rather funny...  To: All Commands
Subject: Inappropriate T-Shirts Ref: ComMidEastFor Inst 16134//24 K 1. All commanders promulgate upon receipt. 2. The following T-shirts are no longer to be worn on or off base by any military or civilian personnel serving in the Middle East: "Eat Pork Or Die" [both English and Arabic versions]
"Shrine Busters" [Various. Show burning minarets or bomb/artillery shells impacting Islamic shrines. Some with unit logos.]
"Napalm, Sticks Like Crazy" [Both English and Arabic versions]
"Goat - it isn't just for breakfast any more." [Both English and Arabic versions]
"The road to Paradise begins with me." [Mostly Arabic versions but some in English. Some show sniper scope cross-hairs]
"Guns don't kill people. I kill people." [Both Arabic and English versions]
"Pork. The other white meat.' [Arabic version]
"Infidel" [English, Arabic and other coalition force languages.] 3.The above T-shirts are to be removed from Post Exchanges upon receipt of this directive. 4.The following signs are to be removed upon receipt of this message: "Islamic Religious Services Will Be Held at the Firing Range at 0800 Daily."
"Do we really need 'smart bombs' to drop on these dumb bastards?" 5. All commands are instructed to implement sensitivity training upon receipt.

| I never saw anything even remotely like that in Kuwait, and if the shirts had been available in Iraq, I'm pretty sure we would have seen some of the guys wearing them as they redeployed through the Kuwaiti bases. OTOH, those are funny as hell!  If they're not available in the PX, some enterprising T-shirt seller in the US ought to be marketing them right outside the post gates. My guess is they'd sell a bundle even if DOD banned them from being worn on-post.

I like the Infidel one but I'm afraid what the graphic is for the goat shirt.

I have seen a couple of those shirts being worn by civilians here in the theater. Another good one is "Who's your Baghdaddy?"
