that's funny jim, i'm an ex combat vet and i don't remember following any herd. we normally just wipe out the herd. just kidding. we have a tremedous amount of fire power. nobody on this earth comes even close. friendly fire has always scared me. the "smart weapon" is only as smart as the person who uses it. a bullet, mortar round, artillery shell, and bombs can't tell friend from foe. > > There are plenty of peace-lovin' hippie types in the armed services ... believe me! Until the piss test to detect weed was perfected, many many many people in uniform toked their way through their time in service. And after we couldn't get away with that anymore, we switched to the virtually (still) undetectable next best alternative: vitamin A (el-es-dee). >; ) hi lori, this is scary. picturing "peace lovin hippie types" with a weapon of mass destruction in their hands. maybe the phrase should be "wannabe peace lovin hippie types." smoking dope was never a political statement more of a release. later gene
