Happy Birthday, U.S.M.C., and many happy returns.
Note: I'll probably be more or less off-line for a couple of days; some local travel, and much to do. Should be back in time for the weekly book review. Keep an eye on things for me.
Btw, Paco, haven't heard in a while. How is Paco Jr. doing?
ReplyDeleteHe's fine Rebecca; we hope to have him home with us for a little while in March.

Quiet, Froggie
My thanks to all the Marines, indeed ALL the Veterans for their contribution to the great run we have had in the second half of the 20th Century. It's a new century with new challenges. Technology can help, but without the political will to fight a war without regular rules ....
ReplyDeleteI am astonished that the talk now centres on releasing the Guantana-mohs, or trying them in some Geneva compliant way. If you want the protection of the Geneva Conventions, you have to wear a uniform and be an identifiable service person of a sovereign government. Otherwise, nasty accidents do happen on the battlefield.
