Hubris

Unfortunately, Truly says, the prevailing wisdom at the Pentagon is that "fuel efficiency is for sissies."
(via John Robb)

Hubris. Marines don't eat granola, they just kick the shit out of haj's. Scary when the stereotypes show up in reality.

That's hajis, not haj's.

The Haj (Hajj) is a religious pilgrimage that Muslims are obligated to perform once in their lifetime; if they can afford it.

"Hajis" is the derogatory term used by Americans to describe Iraqis. It is actually a title (Haji) given to one who performs the Hajj.
