I don’t understand it. I was confident the lead story on the election of Joe Hanley as Lieutenant Governor of New York would generate an enormous response. But so far - nothing.
Mrs. Tanker and I got a personal tour of Leavenworth. GWOT money provided funds to build a new, state of the art facility for the CGSC. Very impressive. The bookstore is any military history buff's dream. Civilians have no idea (Certainly Barry doesn't) how well educated and prepared our senior military leaders are.
I also enjoyed visiting a monument to the Cold War veterans, made out of sections of the Berlin Wall, graffiti intact.
Sorry, Homer. I read the story with passing amusement. But it was trumped by better stories, IMO.
FDR actually got to list an occupation to which he could claim. What would 0bama say? I’m sure it would be “Master of all Time and Space” or something equally modest.
The damage to USS Savannah was impressive; more impressive was that she stayed in action, while a similar weapon sank RN Roma two months ago.
And anyway, I was still hung over from the IU-Minnesota game Saturday, and was in no mood to draft any comments.
