Between FemSex and your WGS tutorial, you don’t have time for anything but a wash-and-wear. Sure, you’ve heard that longer hair is considered sexier, but who really cares? Men are pigs anyway. The Side-bang You fashionista, you. It can’t be easy rushing from the Delphic to the Fly and back again. And don’t worry, when you?...

But deputizing them allows the Americans to gather personal information, take fingerprints and track their whereabouts for a least part of the time. The volunteers sign three-month contracts, wear only special armbands instead of uniforms and use their own weapons, but they get paid three-quarters of what Iraqi police recruits receive and are given preference for joining the police and army. "It gives them a stake in the system. It's really the first step to becoming...
