You know, when West's masturbatory fantasy emails to his wife from the combat zone were publicized, I was sympathetic, thinking that a man far from home and family needs something to motivate himself every day. I might have written a few sexy-time letters (this was long before your fancy "email," Youngs) to my wife in those days too, come to think of it. What I wrote might not have been Nobel Prize material either, nor would I have liked it publicized any more than West probably did.

But now I'm thinking: fuck this guy.

On the plus side, he has some limited experience with tanks, having seen one once. Also in his favor, there's little evidence he has ever thought, so he should be a pretty good fit for the new digs.
