I guess nobody out there ever heard of or participated in the UW slice of all those CJCS exercises (Exotic Dancer, Ocean Venture, Brave Shield, Thermal Gale, Brim Frost, etc.) which took place all over the US - including AK, HI, and PR at various times - during my time in the service.
But what's the blogosphere without a daily conspiracy or two from its many bloviating ignoramuses to keep things stirred up out there - especially if it concerns fearsome black helicopters and bogeyman shadow governments seeking to usurp our civil liberties. 
And so it goes...
