Just a couple of articles I saw last night after I closed off the entry LOL - William Raspberry in the Washington Post is more interested in the Thanksgiving football than Department of Homeland Security advice. Made me look for IMDB info on 'The Day After', some apocalyptic movie about Kansas getting nuked and radiation sickness in the 80s. I guess I was too young for that and was part of the 'War Games' demographic - mmm, Ferris Bueller LOL, now that's a bit off topic of terrorists probably not hitting Fort Wayne... whenever I see the term 'duct tape' now, I think of that Canadian comedy show Red Green I think it is called...
So many possible links, so easy to crowd the paragraph out LOL.
Ohh, the Seinfeld episode tonight is the Polish relatives having ponies one mmm, Seinfeld LOL.
This article is saying how basic training in the US military has changed - goodness, every soldier has to figure out how to fight, how 20th century is that? I had heard that most support troops pre-Jessica Lynch know how to do their one bit (driving trucks, fixing engines) and that was about it. Six weeks basic training, out goes the marching drills in come the shooting. Is it just me or does six weeks seem too short for full training? I guess they need to with the rollover of troops over there...
'Half will deploy to Iraq or Afghanistan as soon as 30 days after completing initial training. The rest can expect to go sometime during their first enlistment.'
This is an interesting one - Alabama had a poll initiative to get rid of some language such as -
'Separate schools shall be provided for white and coloured children, and no child of race will be permitted to attend a school of the other race...'
Bleah, more later - we need two lines, sister is going to ring the parents bleah, two lines two lines LOL
