So, you claim that an officer violated military policy and told you to shine boots
in the desert even though the boot is a desert boot that can't be shined.
If you claim that you put polish on those boots then you are either the biggest liar in
the world or the biggest idiot ever.
Give it up.

Only lieutenants got the desert boots in '91 Iraq. The rest of us were wearing black issue boots, and yes... the butter bars violated policy and had us shining boots in the desert. they wanted us to look good while we dug their foxholes for them.
