At BYU we have may wonderful people give devotionals and forums every Tuesday. We were luck to have General Petraeus visit last week . He gave us a list of the Top Ten Reasons Why BYU Students Make Good Soldiers. They are silly and I know there are several silly things like this floating around, but it makes me laugh none the less! Enjoy!
10 » They have already been on many a mission
9 » Army chow is no problem for folks accustomed to eating green Jell-O and shredded carrots.
8 » It's no problem if they don't know what rank someone is. They can just call that person "brother" or "sister."
7 » They never go AWOL -- the prefer to call it "less active."
6 » They will seize any objective swiftly if you tell them refreshments will be served.
5 » They know how to make things happen. If you ever need a base built quickly, you need only to plant a staff and say, "This is the place."
4 » They have innovative ideas for handling insurgents -- like assigning them as home teachers.
3 » They always have a year's supply of provisions.
2 » They are the world's most reliable designated drivers.
1 » They understand how far Iraq has come over the past 7 years -- and they believe that Iraq's old spot in the "Axis of Evil" can now be filled by the University of Utah.
Gen. David Petraeus
