Re: good school

Linda B. Where did you go to highschool? Must have been really good because I was caught flat footed on that information! About the Jedburgh teams. Cool, I guess there is hope for the educational system! Mark C. Remember the Falcons? Chris Boyce, Daulton Lee, The Snowman, the drugs, The Hill? I gre...

Getting INVOLVED

Yeah, I'd like to hear how everyone got involved. Even Paul's story, again. If you don't mind. I am sorry hon that I didn't rename the thread "getting involved". I wanted this thread to be a small little corner tribute to you. If you had not held that torch for such a very long time and ha...

Special Ops

Twigsnapper, et. al, I seem to remember studying in High School something 'bout the Jedburgh units and also how special ops became unpopular during Kennedy's brief reign. I also remember something called the Flexible Response doctrine, which made counterinsurgency unpopular. Does anyone with a more ...

Eldridge

Let's just say for now that... the fact that this man's name is "Eldridge" and that the ship in TPX is also called the "Eldridge" is, well.... NOT a coincidence. Much more than that I many never be able to say. -PS Did everyone get that? NOT a coincidence. Wow. Deep. I've got to...

Re: Another A

. Good historical accounting. As I said, you book needs to be in every high school library. Mark C. I agree ! It does for world history and WWII politics what the Movie National Treasure did for DC.

Re: Wynken, Blyken and Nod

Re: on apathy

So perhaps we are being unfair here just assuming that (Once the public KNOWs about the possibilities they will still be apathetic.) If so, that will be a terrible prediction about our future... Entire civilizations have fallen because of that sort of apathy. But I am an optimist. I like to think t...
