The Exile Vote

Countries are gearing up for the Iraqi expat vote in the upcoming election. The US has seven registration and voting centers, two of which are in Nashville. Who would have thought there'd be so many Iraqis there?
I do recall that a lot of the Kuwaitis who went through the abbreviated Army basic and worked with our unit in the first Gulf War were students from universities in Tennessee. Perhaps because it was a Tennessee National Guard unit that was attached to us, and the Kuwaitis had been assigned to them.

The Kuwaitis were the funnest part of the whole deal. We had the world's most idiotic field First Sergeant and the Kuwaitis gave him all the disrespect I wanted to.
