Ironically, or maybe not so ironically, last night, shortly after this post was made I got a call from my daughter-in-law who had just seen my son off at the airport for another deployment to the Middle East. This time he only got four days notice. Wonder what the fuck that's all about?

Is he SF? If so he'll probably not talk about it when he gets back.

Yes, they have. I doubt SF will be tasked with border security though. My guess is clandestine ops on the other side of the border in Syria. It wouldn't surprise me if he bumps into some IDF special ops people along the way.

This sort of chatter on a public board might not be the best idea, actually....

It may be that one day the U.S. will evolve/choose a similar system - but it won't be done in one fell swoop in one election.
That's like saying that your BMW won't run here because it's a German car.

That must be it!

Why didn't I think of that? Damned southern upbringing.

I don't know why the powers that be can't just pop in here every day and read the veritable treasure trove of solutions that would cure the ills of the world.

We have it all figured out! Stupid politicians.
