Time for a Denizen round-up, me thinks. Btw, notice that the Denizen sidebar is now properly noting the blogs with new content! Now on to the content... - FbL
Murray wants to build a trebuchet. He needs some sponsors,too.
Alan takes a took at stout types... beers, that is. He also celebrates March.
Sgt. B offers his thanks for advice given, while Rammer has some global warming advice of his own.
Cassandra offers her theory of an Ann Coulter/Glenn Greenwald Love Connection
Trias closes up shop. He'll still be a Castle Denizen, though.
Barb makes sure we see the full MoH citation for Bruce Crandall. She has video, too!
Maggie is even busier than usual and Kat has apparently lost nothing of her blogging edge during hiatus. She breaks down the good and bad news from WRAMC.
FbL spotlights the draftees of the GWOT and tries to explain that "too fond of war" thing.
The Victoria Cross is returning to Canada, reports The Torch.
BCR experiences a strange sight while suffering the effects of global warming. Perhaps it was the heat?
Beth offers up The Impossible Quiz Deluxe, humanitarian that she is. And last but not least, one more quiz: AFSis is a chocolate cake. I'm sure Were-kitten and her associates will have comments. Need the PG-17, Sis?

*A term of art from the artillery. Harassment and Interdiction Fires.
Back in the day, when you could just kill people and break things without a note from a lawyer, they were pre-planned, but to the enemy, random, fires at known gathering points, road junctions, Main Supply Routes, assembly areas, etc - to keep the bad guy nervous that the world around him might start exploding at any minute.
Not really relevant to today's operating environment, right? But, it *is*
The UAVs we fly over Afghanistan and Pakistan looking for targets of opportunity are a form of H&I fires, if you really want to parse it finely. We just have better sensors and fire control now.
I call the post that because it's random things posted by me and people I've given posting privileges to. It's also an open trackback, so if (Don Surber uses it this way a lot) someone has a post they're proud of, but it really isn't either Castle kind of stuff, or topical to a particular post, I've basically given blanket permission to use that post for that purpose. Another term of art that might be appropriate is "Free Fire Zone".
