oh yeah he won't respond....at least I don't expect him too.
It would be against what his pattern is.
If he can get in and say stupid things FIRST, then he might stick around.
If he gets called out, he won't come back.
I hear chickens or something :)

I was thinking you were pulling overnights if you were over there! LOL
I meant my thanks sincerely!
I want to ping you to a great pro-troop daily thread here at FR. Tonight we'll have a Music thread that goes up somewhere in the neighborhood of 8 or 9 pm CST.

Thanks for the head's up Chaplain. I generally agree with his observations. We too had a hell of a time getting the media to even show up in our AO unless they were chasing something they thought would embarrass the Army or provide lurid casualty descriptions back home. Easier just to ignore them, but then the phenomenal work being done by our troopers never gets seen by the people back home.
Pity, that.

We had a media talking head retired LTC on our local radio the other day....Dean Smittle (sp?). The morning host is a bit of a lib, and the topic was "body armor." There were reports of troops complaining about the weight.
The LTC was asked his opinion, and he decided they should just shut up and wear it...best in the long run was his take.
I remembered your post: different missions require a different load. Excellent advice. They should have interviewed one who knew.
The same with this "civil war" stuff. I don't know if anyone has an official definition of what constitutes a civil war, but this sure isn't as ugly as the American variety.
