One   Brady Miller's ideal Saturday was pretty simple—sleep in, be woken by a hot, naked woman for sex, followed by a breakfast that he didn't have to cook.   On this particularly early June Saturday, he consoled himself with one out of the three, stopping at 7-Eleven for coffee, two egg and sausage breakfast wraps, and a Snickers bar.   Breakfast of champions.   Heading to the counter to check out, he nodded to the convenience store clerk.   She had her Bluetooth in her ear, presumably connected to the cell phone glowing in her pocket as she rang him up.

Quite a change from the stifling airlessness of the Middle East or the bitter desolation and frigid temps of Afghanistan.
