And about 20 days later I was 30,000 feet above Afghanistan, for about 18 months. Fun times.
There you are, Three!
Any words of wisdom on the defacing of the Wall? I'm in a bit of a snit. If any oil touched Cliff McKittrick's name...let's just say, I don't want to know.
Sorry, JJBN. You lost me there, man.
Didn't read about it in the newspaper, did you?
Sorry I don't have time right now to find the AP version. If there is one.

Cliff was a West Point grad and dear friend, mia. Pick the name of your choice; he's mine.
Sorry.
A post from the Freepers blaming "the antiwar crowd"?
Not a single google entry I can find from a legitimate news source, or a direct quote from the Park Service?
Forgive me if my standard of proof is a tad higher.
OK. What's not disputed is that there is a a clear oily substance--comparable to WD-40, for example, and that's my example from reading and viewing the video--on areas (names) on the base of the Wall. Accident or deliberate defacement, it bothers me. It's not easily removed, whatever it is.
Is it news or not? Well, to me it is, but you're right, it was only reported by people who care. And they aren't professional journalists. Call 'em freepers, call 'em veterans, call 'em any name you please. They jumped to a conclusion, and so did I. Still don't like it.
