My niece and her husband are stationed at Pearl Harbor.
She told me the commander asked for volunteers to escort that family, not one person volunteered....so he gave orders for escorts.

That commander should be “shundt” in the vernacular of the Amish. Never ask your troops to do something you wouldn’t willingly do.

How interesting....though hardly surprising.

Thanks for the info. That's actually a very heartening thing to read today. God bless our troops.

The same scenario played out at my command whenever Slick Willy and Her Thighness showed up. The boss had to order people to stand in the “Grip and Grin” line. Fortunately, the boss liked me, so I never had to suffer that particular humiliation.
