#1 Another photo link (likely an old one, but new to me) of the effort to recover the USS Cole.

#2 General Meyers looks C-C-COLD!! Look he's got that worthless raincoat on. You can see him trying to pack his huge heavy coat into a little travel bag and thinking, ah..I won't need this!"

Isn't it time the uniform shop made a nice looking, long, warm, down, jacket that is an optional uniform part? Those coats require a whole extra hang bag, they are heavy and they wrinkle easily. Not good for travel, even if you have some aid to shlup your bags around.
Sorry, just a personal peeve.

#5 Thanks, Chuck for the links. I especially enjoyed the sketches and drawings. Many of them had the depth of feeling I used to see in the WWII sketches I used to see in my dad's books.

#6 I once worked with a Mongolian. He liked nothing better than to brag about what Ghenghis Khan did to Baghdad in the Middle Ages. We got along well.
