Army Times Headlines this week

From this week's Army Times......

Tougher PT Test - the push to add: * four mile run * 12 mile ruck march.

New Drug Test - Now you'll be tested for pain killers

New Afghan Mission - seizing drugs

Man, sometimes I wonder why I get the darn thing.

Well, if I flip it over at least I see Best of Shot Show.

Oh, well.

Doesn't say: "Stop", "Reduce", "Control", "Eradicate"....just "Seize"....

If we seem 'em, we'll grab 'em...but we won't fix the circumstances that create the economy.

Hey, isn't that a Muslim country....why are there drugs allowed?
<feigned>


Never had much use for the Army Times...except for the promotion lists and pay scales...which has been superseded by technology.

Seize, transport, store, guard, and destroy are effective uses of time in theater?

Use soil sterilants. That way, nothing would grow on that plot of land for up to 3 years.
