The less ice you ask for the more soda you get. And they say the Air Force are the brainy ones in the U.S. Armed Forces!

I've also heard (and this came 2nd hand from a doctor) that people who drink iced drinks all the time have a greater likelihood of getting or recurring strep throat...

Hey bobbyknightmare....what branch are you in, toughguy?

I had a personal signature, but Chuck Norris round-house kicked me in the face and stole it.

Maybe he was stationed in Mexico for a long time and got used to drinking drinks without ice (Montezuma's revenge and all that). Lol. :)

Well the Major served in Vietnam at one point. I know a Vietnam vet who ALWAYS orders his drinks with no ice, because he said when he was over there, any ice that was ever available was NOT fit for use, it was full of nasty stuff, so during his time there, he just got used to not using any ice in his drinks, and he's used to that to this day still, so it's just the way he prefers his drinks now. When you serve many years in the military and you live under conditions that are less than desirable, you get used to a lot of things other people don't.

In real life, he was born in Misssippi.. Warm pepsi is something people drink in that part of the country.

I live in Mississippi, though from TN and I've never seen a Mississippian or southern person drink a warm soda. If anything we want ice because it's hot and humid down here!!

I only remember one episode that referenced a warm pepsi. Were there others?

Sorry, but I prefer Diet Coke and dislike Pepsi, but I would never order it warm.
