[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Altitude, sure.
Missing the 100% humidity,
garbage dump jungle rot smell,
tanglefoot vines and Mattel mud jams.

  • Soldiers from the 4th Infantry Division carried out a brutal exercise on a hilltop in Fort Carson in Colorado

#1  Excellent commemorative act to built Esprit, pride, sense of belonging and camaraderie.

Sad state of affairs when the author of the article calls the various Regimental Colors and Unit Guidons "banners". It gives a sad proof of how ignorant and lazy reporters are these days.
