Dirty deal
Antony Lineberger went to the war zone to drive a gas tanker, make some real money, help his country. He wanted excitement; he got excrement.

TREASURE ISLAND - On his first day at work, they issued him body armor. They taught him how to duct-tape his helmet to keep out deadly gas. They told him about pit vipers and poisonous spiders, warned him about microscopic sand fleas whose bite could kill him.

They made him choose a code word in case he got captured.

But no one told him about the toilets.

Antony Lineberger left Treasure Island six weeks ago to drive fuel tankers across Afghanistan. He had been trying to get a job with Halliburton for more than nine months.

After 14 years of hauling fuel to boats around Tampa Bay, he longed to see the Middle East, have a little adventure, make some real money, help out his country.

The 42-year-old registered Libertarian had cut off his waist-length ponytail, given up his apartment, stored his furniture, sold his share of the family business and left his old dog with a friend.

He even married a former roommate so someone would get the death benefits if the worst happened.

On Jan. 23, the St. Petersburg Times ran a story about Lineberger, "Detour to Danger."

He planned to stay in Afghanistan for at least a year.

SNIP

"I went to college," he kept thinking as human waste misted his goggles. "I did well on my SATs.

"I'm in MENSA"

4. Attention, Treasure-Island Tombstone-carvers:

Prepare 1 stone with the words: "I'm in MENSA"

Standby Per: further instructions.


You lays down with dogs, ya wakes up with fleas.
This MENSA master is getting what he asked for.

Perhaps his headstone could have a "VERY tiny violin" motif?

5. What a stupid loser

This actually pisses me off.

This guy has the nerve to complain about that?

Fuck him.

At least he had the option to quit and go home whenever he wanted.

That line about "I wanted to help my country" is obvious bullshit. If he really wanted to help the US and the war effort, he would have enlisted long ago.

7. If that dumbass

...could get over his Libertarian thinking ways, he could put in his application at a Teamster company, bide his time for a while and work his way up in a truck driving job at home that would pay him a comparable annual salary, some sweet bennies and no turds and sand fleas.
