The Corner has an item declaring that one of the senior British officers in Bagram is a Lt. Col. Chicken.
If he gets promoted, he can take comfort in the fact that the Brits, using different rank insignia, don't distinguish full colonels from the "lite" variety by referring to them as "bird colonels."
(Re the title I've given his item: there is a village in Interior Alaska named Chicken. Local lore claims the founders thereof wanted to name the place "Ptarmigan" but decided "Chicken" was easier to spell. Thus, exotic comestibles in Alaska are all said to taste like ptarmigan.)
