Odd title, since they refer to the scorpion as an insect, yet correctly call it an arachnid in the article.

The irony stung worse than the scorpion. Army Capt. Stephen Garvin, an entomologist with the 981st Medical Detachment supporting 3rd Army/U.S. Army Central in Kuwait, was stung by a deadly scorpion.

If he had stoodied in skool he woodn't be in the Mid L East.

Stung by scorpions in the desert, and stung by Democrats at home.

Support our troops. They need all the help they can get.
