    The Spanish Civil War

    In my recent reading, one thing that struck me was how the Soviets shanghaid many of the volunteers into staying past their voluntary enlistments so as not to lose the propaganda value of having them in the fight. How they were seen as essentially uncontrollable by the Sovs, due to not being...

    That's what my dad did in the AF, up at Eielson AFB, AK.

    How tough is basic training these days?

    To be clear, my understanding (and what I've seen in working with the 501st Airborne up here) the soldiers (in the combat arms at least) get locked on in AIT or when they check into their unit.

    Military experiences.

    It's a tactical move, even at 36, I'm probably the junior of the Recon guys. If I can get the SAW I won't have to carry the radio. ;) ...and I'm sure your husband would rather see you in it than him. :D

    The Joys of JURY DUTY!

    I've never even made it to voir dire. But with my Crim. background and extremist political views, I don't see me making it onto a panel anytime soon.

    The Joys of JURY DUTY!

    Not exactly correct. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_nullification Bear in mind, though, that my view of civil liberties was labeled as "extremist and terroristic" by the State of Alabama (until they edited their web page after protest). :D

    What did your grandparents pack for personal protection in the Golden Era?

    On the flip side, there are a lot fewer people who, quite illogically and contrary to the actual research, view shovels and hammers as inherently evil in and of themselves and feel that, since they are afraid of them, no one else should be able to own one.

    To Bee or not to Bee

    If you are talking about on the inner label, I think that's "HATS" seen at a bit of an angle.

    "Love is (apparently) a battlefield", not a fallacy. At least for Pat Benatar. For me it can go either way. :D

    How tough is basic training these days?

    I think all they have left is the ultimate sanction, dismissal, because the Mother's of America don't want little Johnny doing pushups until he pukes himself anymore. To avoid the infrequent abuses they throw the baby out with the bathwater. If we or any of the Navy guys got dropped by a...
