Boquisucio found this clip of maroons.

Ry found a "non-chick test"... Which Historical General are you?

The test is very sensitive in some ways, remarkably unsensitive in others.

Ry came up at Edward the 1st: He scored 68 Wisdom, 81 Tactics, 55 Guts, and 51 Ruthlessness. He added: "Odd, I expected Guts and Ruthlessness to be much higher than wisdom and tactics."

Me? Even though I pretty much killed everybody except the little boy and wasn't a big fan of torture... I attacked pretty much when the option was there... obviously not always up the middle - I'm A Hippie, unfit to command and probably not a useful member of society, scoring 70 Wisdom, 54 Tactics, 60 Guts, and 40 Ruthlessness! The prejudices of the 18 year old male who designed the test are interesting... tweak my answers a tiny bit I go from being a Hippie to being Julius Caesar, to being Vercingetorix...

Lets see what you guys do, I've wasted all the moments of my life I'm gonna on that one.

Moving on, CAPT H. provides this little window into the life of an Afghan-deployed Canadian soldier. Note there are multiple pages in the thread.

The ACLU doesn't always win. Interesting how the group they are representing, NARAL, seems more interested in suppressing a viewpoint, vice advancing one.

Major C. sends along this obit for General O'Meara. I met him once, when I was but a wee sprout and he came to a party my father was hosting. It was a different Army then - as any now serving who read the obit will recognize.

Cricket provides this bit of humor:

A visiting minister during the offertory prayer:

"Dear Lord," he began with arms extended and a rapturous look on his upturned face, "without you we are but dust..."

He would have continued, but at that moment one little girl leaned over to her mother and asked quite audibly in her shrill little girl voice,

"Mommy, WHAT is butt dust?"

Church was pretty much over at that point...

Thank you all!
