I think we may be losing sight of the original post.
As usual.

Correction: He was the man that everybody thought shot Liberty Valance.Jimmy Stewart.
A true American hero. He flew bombing missions over Germany in W.W.II. and retired as a Brigadier General in the Air Force Reserves. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross twice, Croix de Guerre, Air Medal with three oak leaf clusters.
Plus he was the man that shot Liberty Valance!
Duke shot him.

The part I found hilarious was Jill Stein's explanation on Fox, when asked how Russia could have affected voting machines that are not connected to the Internet; she deftly asserted hackers walk around and "... use a floppy disc thing". I wondered what had happened to floppy discs.....

Union troops in most areas were prohibited from taking livestock, but permitted to forage for wildlife.
The shot farm pigs and butchered them before the officers found out. Called em "Slow Deer".

With millions of packages flying around the country, some screw ups are bound to occur. I have good luck generally so
I try to focus on the correct deliveries rather than the occasional incredible mis-routing fiascos tha are hard to believe. I tracked a package from Californin through about 18 states once before it got to Colorado. Went all the way to Maryland. Twice.
Life contains a particle of risk.

Common courtesy no longer dictates behavior in public. Sad.

Yes, but the subject was Civil War logistics. The thing I remember from the movie, "The Red Ball Express" was that poor driver who jumped down from the cab of his truck...and hit a mine!
But is there a really good book (or more) about it? Stories of how the supplies were organized, how they got through tough opposition, on and on? There must have been a lot more guys in logistics than in combat, and there must be many stories to tell, from many eras.He said from many eras so Red Ball Express would apply.

Not sure how to put this. The Cowboy Memorial page is a very personal and emotional thing for me. It represents souls who touched many of us over the years in ways that we can remember with smiles and tears.
The page is a tribute to their spirit and their heart.
I would prefer not to engage in a discussion of cold statistics regarding cause age, of death, etc.
It's just a little to close to my heart. Sorry.

I have a couple of M51army surplus wool field shirts. Wore em all the time in Germany in the winter. Warm wet or dry. Great for when it's too cold for even my Duluth Trading Co. shirts.
I was reading about the Aleutians campaign and how the 7th Division trained for Africa but then were committed to the Aleutians. They had no winter clothing but it was available. However the commanders thought the heavy winter gear woul slow the troops down. So it wasn't issued. Men froze to death on Attu.
Some folks should have been court martialed.

Cyrus Cassidy has been.

I can quit anytime I want.

My point exactly. His safety would be jeopardized. Not mine.No, Bob!
Your smacking the Millineal up side his head would be the issue!

Uturn... you boys... since Manning left... just don't know how to win.

Yet Kubiak insists on "establishing the running game". Sheesh. Small line, slow running backs? You haven't got the horses for a running game, ya bozo! A god defensive line will stop them every time....as has been proven time and time again this year.Broncos are yet again suffering from a horrible offensive line. This seems to be the norm rather than the exception. They seem to think smaller, quicker linemen will be the answer but it does not work out that way often enough. Also the lack of a Terrell Davis like RB does not help. A rookie QB does not help either. The combination of faults on the offensive side of the ball dictates that the defense becomes exhausted and overwhelmed.
Spring training is not that far away.
In my mind.

There were German and Italian camps but the numbers were much lower in population.
The European detainees were not citizens though. Citizens and long term legal resident aliens were not locked up. No doubt the nature of the attack by the Japanese and their race were big factors in their imprisonment.

One minor point. Interred is buried. "Interred" is buried. Interned is imprisoned.I worked with 3 men who were children when they with their families were "Interred". They understood why but you could see it bothered them to talk about it. It bothered me that these fine men were treated the way they were as children. Funny thing is they were patriotic as all h***.
We all worked together on a highly classified project when I worked at Hughes back in the 80's.

Fresh?? Hahaha. Salt beef and salt pork were the meats.Its didn't mention anything about the mules/horses on the front of the wagon.Where do you think they got their fresh meats?..........Widder
Troops kearned to test the freshness by thrwing a hunk at a tree. If it bounced off it was edible. If it stuck...pass.
