Just serving their country...
A doctor was transferred to a very tough commando base. On the first day, three commandos arrived to see him. The first, a Marine NCO, marched in and snapped to attention.
"What seems to be the problem?" asked the doctor.
"I've got piles, Sir!" shouted the Marine.
"How have you been treating them?" asked the doctor, as he examined the man.
"I've been rubbing my ass with a wire brush until it bleeds, Sir!"
"And what is your ambition in life?"
"I just want to serve my country, Sir!"
The doctor was amazed that someone in so much pain just wanted to do his duty. Just then a Ranger NCO walked in.
"What seems to be the problem?" asked the doctor.
"I've got gonorrhea, Sir!" shouted the Ranger.
"How have you been treating it until now?"
"I've been rubbing the end of my penis with a wire brush until it bleeds, Sir!"
"And what is your ambition in life, Ranger?"
"I just want to serve my country, Sir!"
Again, the doctor was amazed that someone in so much pain just wanted to do his duty. Finally, a Special Forces NCO walked in, and the doctor asked him about his problem.
"I've got ulcerated gums, Sir!" the SF NCO bellowed.
"Let me guess.... You've been rubbing your gums with a wire brush until they bleed, right?"
"Yes, Sir!" replied the SF soldier.
"And your main ambition in life is to serve your country, right?"
"No, Sir...to be the first to use the wire brush, Sir!"
