To be fair, the guy in question, a Master Sergeant, is usually a giant fan of high-octane, military-oriented action anime. He'd come home from a long day at Fort Irwin pretending to be an Iraqi shopkeeper and say things like "Motherfucking Blue Team shot another five-year-old today. I've decided my fake family is going to join the insurgency. These idiots are going to screw up so hard once they're in-country..."

... and then kick his feet up and watch a couple hours of Black Lagoon to unwind.

So when he told our mutual friend "hey, send me a few discs of things I like," well, he got a bunch of cute slice-of-life, and he also got a lot of guns and bombs.

(I'm redacting names because the guy in question is still in the active reserves and I'm unsure about if some of the stories he told us were strictly speaking stuff he should have been sharing. They're great stories, tho. Like the one about the Taliban commander in their zone who acquired the nickname "Captain America.")
