My Daughter likes the movie " Cars " and there are some funny lines in the movie including a line where Sally the Porsche tells off Lightning McQueen after he dumps on the little town of Radiator Springs saying: " Even here in "Hillbilly Hell " we have our standards...."Well it seems that a reporter from Iowa found out that there are rules even at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan...
Bringing order to a lawless land -one Parking Ticket at a time

Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan - This place is just like a real city – in the most annoying of ways.
Our National Guard guide got smacked with a pink ticket for parking his clunker pickup truck inappropriately on “Warrior Loop” today. It looked like an OK spot to us at the time, but I guess not.
The base officer who filled out the ticket did a lovely, efficient job. The boxes are neatly checked, and the spelling is perfect. You have to appreciate a public servant who displays such craftsmanship.
But here’s the question: What’s the punishment?
As soldiers here like to say, “What are they gonna do, send me to Afghanistan?”
