Hahaha, kids soccer is just like the military. Everybody gets a ribbon! Yay, a “good cookie” ribbon for not fucking up too bad for 3 years. Yay, a ribbon because I happen to be working for Uncle Sam during OEF. Yay, a ribbon because of my geographical location during a certain operation. WHOOOO. [/quote]
Now I see our problem.
The US military is run like a suburban soccer league.

We ended the email exchange like this:
Coach Not Sen: Okay…so guys we still have to decide who gets best offense, best defense, best all around, etc. What are your thoughts?
Coach Sen: I wouldn’t give any of the little teenaged shits a trophy. C’mon…it’s rec soccer…not like any of them deserve a trophy. You should give them all Soccer For Dummies and underline Dummies.
Just my 2 cents.
Coach Not Sen: " you win Sen ", now piss off.
Why waste money on trophies?. I’d bet that the kids would all rather receive candy bars than a trophy.

I would have just challenged him to a dance-off. Then again, you have to be really good to pull that off.

Have you thought about creating a fake “myspace” page for him? Maybe list his address and post that he likes to knit kittens together and that he thinks the WWF is fake?
