Im not trying to be mean in anyway, I just want to say that to anyone who is thinking in there heads that its to hot to go outside or its so hot. just think of the troops in iraq, in iraq this time last year, it was 154.5 degrees. so hot that you would drink gallons of water a day and not pee one time,
so just dont forget about the troops.

We'll never will forget our troops. Average days there are 130 degrees. We feel for them, and pray for their safety daily too.

I support the troops too, but the report of 154F seems to stretch credulity a bit. See this link and this one for context.

I have seen that link before, but in the military we have this thing called a bubble. it measures heat index, the hottest part of iraq is in the south, nearest the equater, the hottest it got was 154.5, in the northern region of iraq its not that hot but still very very hot.
