The commander was in a hurry to fly out of the U.S. Air base in Greenland. But everything was working against him. The truck to pump the sewage from the plane was late, and then the airman pumping out the tank was taking his time. The commander berated the lowly airman, threatening to have him punished. Turning to the officer, the airman said, “I have no stripes, it's 40 degrees below zero, I'm stationed in Greenland, and I'm pumping sewage out of airplanes. Just how do you plan on punishing me?”
司令急着要飞离在格陵兰的美国空军基地。但是一切都和他作对。从飞机往外抽污水的卡车来晚了,抽污水的空军士兵又磨磨蹭蹭。司令训斥这个地位卑贱的空军士兵,威胁要惩罚他。这个空军士兵把脸转过来,看着司令说:“我的军服上没有条纹,这里是零下四十度,我驻守在格陵兰,我从飞机往外抽污水。你还能怎么惩罚我呢?”
