During one of those times where people were shooting at each other (Dessert Storm?). My unit was forward deployed to Germany. When we arrived, I found the air conditioning was broken in my hotel room. Luckily, the concierge found a fan for me to use for the two days it took to fix the A/C.

But even with the fan, the ice in my iced tea melted at an alarming rate. I even sweated a few times! I just attributed it to the horrors of war and suffered in silence.
