George Patton Jr is not George Patton III

I don't recall ever saying anything about being bothered.

Well, your post seemed to portray someone upset, I apologize if that was not
the case.

Art has something concrete to
offer through his personal experiences.

I agree, however when he intentionally besmirches the service of anyone outside
of the European Theater 1942-1946, it diminishes anything worthy he might have
to say.

but the fact remains, "he was there" and we were not!

Yeah, we all know, Art will never let you forget it. The problem is, Art thinks
his personal experience trumps anyone else on this ng, or any source they may
offer. Its clear Art has done very little research into the CBO as he is unable
to discuss, with any depth, any of the issues. Any discussion with Art, usually
ends up with; "well you're wrong because I was there", which doesn't work.
Someday someone will write a good book on Operation IRAQI FREEDOM and I'll be
the first one in line to buy it, because "I was there" meant that I was busy
24/7 and that one month of my life is a complete blur. Unfortunately for Art,
he can't admit that decades of research are more relevant than "I was there".

I meant to ask you if you ever came across a BUFF driver by the name of Gary
Lundberg.

Hmm, PCS'd to KMIB in 1997? The name doesn't ring a bell, I'll have to ask a
BUFF RN I work with who was stationed at Minot.
