The "Politician"

In every outfit there were always a few guys who knew how to get the "higher ups" to eat out of their hand. A lot of guys called them "kiss asses" or worse but they weren't really that at all. They were simply natural born politicians and if you had one for a buddy, you could be in for some very good luck. Guys like this knew how to get the goodies and perks we craved. With charm, smoth talk and a recruiting poster image, the politician seldom came back empty-handed if the CO (Comamanding Officer) sent him to a big base down south for badly needed supplies or simply a few casses of his favorite beer or soda.
