#1 ...Remember, you heard it here first: by late summer, there will be trial balloons floated about standing down the ICBM force. There is a LOT of quiet talk about this behind the scenes right now, and it's going to start becoming public.

#2 Yes, things that prior generations could do, now seem not able to be done. So, let's just stop doing them. Meanwhile, Bread and Games for everyone.

Just hope you're not the generation when the new incarnation of the Vandals show up for your goodies.

#3 You have to wonder why the navy doesn't seem to have these problems. I mean they have the missles in submarines, and you don't hear about problems.
Maybe they're just better at hiding stuff.

(Come to think of it, I do know a guy that got an all expense paid trip to McMurdo Sound for pencil whipping flight deck paperwork on a carrier. Hmm...)

#4 Different cultural climate, ed. One can thank that crazy bastard Rickover for that, bless his heart.

#5 I don't see anything here the North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana National Guards can't handle. It would be a good thing.
