Morning.

Go to the sidebar search under breaking news, and type in as a keyword "Darkshearesfault"
Have a good laugh at the article and the rest of the keywords...

LOL. I saw the thread but didn't pay attention to the keywords. HA. So it was your fault. ;-)

This time.
Maybe.
*Chuckle*
I get blamed for other, odder things.
Might as well say I did this one before having to deny it.
*LOL!*

General Eaker died on August 6, 1987, at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland, and was buried at Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors. He was survived by his wife.

Darn shame a guy like this didn't have children to carry on after him.

Morning WhiskeyPapa.

Eaker and some of the other "The bomber will always get through" crowd just wouldn't accept that the unescorted bomber offense was beginning to fail. No Air Force could accept the losses the 8th was taking and expect to remain a functioning force.

Sometimes being too stubborn in your beliefs can backfire. They had something to prove and nothing was gonna change their mind.

Your assignment(if you choose to accept it) is to find out if this REALLY is true.

Gotta run. Back later tonight.

I recall it being a technical issue and something to do with the Northwest Terrritory (as we were way back when) and not ratifying or not enough votes.

I already have too many assignments. ;-)
