Hey! Just a thought here, but ...

I've been busy with recent personal issues, house and yard and my weekly vapid but hopefully entertaining OTs and thereby missed a bunch of major sturm und drang.

A Trench Eye View of how to fix the U.S. Military

A caveat here. I am NOT a career soldier. While I loved my time of service, and still do love my country, I only have spent four years in the service. I was for many years before joining what is known as a "Military Hobbyist". Military History has always fascinated me and since I was 14 I've spent time studying it. I am currently about to return to college to finish my History degree. I also joined the Military when I was 32 years old.
