A special ring tone for guys who’ve served in Iraq and Afghanistan

One of our friends has a brother who’s a Top Gun pilot. He sent us this politically-incorrect ring tone and message:

“The beginning of this reminds me of being in Iraq/Qatar/UAE/Kuwait/Oman. The end is kind of what I was wishing for the whole time I was in Iraq/Qatar/UAE/Kuwait/Oman.”

Thanks, Dave. And be safe up there. On behalf of all our IHTM readers, we appreciate everything you do for us.

Before publishing this article, we had tried for hours to make an easy way for you to get this to your cell phone, but in techland, nothing is that easy. We didn’t want you to incur any charge, and that was the problem at every “Make your own ringtone” site we went to. So, hopefully, you can figure out how to get the MP3 to your phone. It’s the right length for a ringtone, so you don’t need to any editing software to edit the MP3 first.

If you know how to upload the ringtone to a phone. please post instructions in the comments.
