<t> When I was in the Army, I got to meet a group of WWII MPs who were at Fort Hood to check out their modern counterparts. They were quite surpised to see that MP teams were now armed with rifles (one w/grenade launcher) and driving around in a HMMV w/pintle mount machine gun. According to them ...

So BB = Battleship, battle. CVB = Carrier Vessel? Battle and ...

Now, why is everyone badmouthing the Armyland Happy Meal (MRE). I'm one of those rare individuals who actually liked the chicken a-la king, so I was usually in a good position during the barganing phase of the meal.
Now the Navy problem I have is with those Italians being able to buy battleships as off board artillery in campaigns no matter where the fight is taking place. C'mon now, Fondouk is over 50 miles from the sea.

<t>Just saw it today. My wife and I both liked it, and she's not a big war movie fan. Just tell yourself that the romance is there for your SO, and it becomes a lot more palateable. It's more of an action movie than a war movie, and the climactic confrontation was a bit too Hollywood for my taste ...
