-Caveat Lector-
One does wonder why, if modern artillery, both land-based and naval, is so
highly computerized that what passes for "cannoneers" today might just as
well be sitting in a video parlor in a mall in Dubuque, Iowa, as on a
destroyer escort in the North Sea, why the hell do they need live-fire
exercises at all? They've got simulators that do a better job of training
service personnel without the expense of fighting a fake war. I suggest that
the real reason for the Navy's indignation at the popular opposition to
continued use of Vieques as a target range is simply that live-fire
exercises make much better news bites, and they impress junketing
Congresspeople...

==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance�not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
