"I don't get it. I just don't
get it. And you're not going to get me to get it," warned Marine
squadron commander Lt. Col. Jerry Turner (to a Wall Street Journal
Afghanistan reporter writing in October), when learning that a few of
his troops were sporting artistically shaped eyebrows sculpted by a
barber in the town of Shinwar. "Stylist" Gulam Farooq can't practice on
Muslims (forbidden) but said "one or two" Marines come by every day (in
between calling in artillery barrages) for tapering. [Wall Street
