Marines call exaggerated displays of enthusiasm - from shouting Get some! to waving American flags to covering their bodies with Marine Corps tattoos - ``moto.'' You won't ever catch Sergeant Brad Colbert, the 28-year-old commander of the vehicle I ride in, engaging in any moto displays.
They call Colbert ``The Iceman.'' Wiry and fair-haired, he makes sarcastic pronouncements in a nasal whine that sounds like comedian David Spade. Though he considers himself a ``Marine Corps killer,''' he's also a nerd who listens to Barry Manilow, Air Supply and practically all the music of the 1980s except rap.
He is the last guy you would picture at the tip of the spear of the invasion forces in Iraq.
