Patriot

                                  Sgt.  Micaiah Dutt @ His Home                            

This is the type of picture you should carry in your glovebox at all times.  If you get pulled over on some desolate stretch of highway, you can say, "Sorry officer I can't find my proof of insurance, but here's a picture of a Marine in front of a Christmas tree!"  The sheer patriotism alone will overwhelm the patrolman, possibly bringing tears to his eyes,  and he'll let you go along your merry way.

Micaiah Dutt contains multitudes:  Soldier, social theorist, international playboy, hardcore atheist, theologian, black sheep of the Military-Industrial Complex, bookworm, and all around free spirit.  Dude's an ox, a jarhead with a sharp mind.  In the course of a conversation he is apt to explain Pagan influences in Christian ceremony (Christmas trees), recount the utter dickishness of Blackwater operatives in Iraq (Marines HATE Blackwater), or regale you with a hilarious story about attempting to use a Kuwaiti toilet.  Micaiah currently works in the propaganda industry (PsyOps) and is partly responsible for grounding North Korea's airforce.  The man has scruples though and he stands by them; he follows no leader blindly.  He may be complicit with the system, but he's critiquing it from the inside out, changing it piece by piece through information, history, and humor.  Respect to him & respect to the guys and gals spending their Xmas in some god damned warzone.
