i don't know why, but in my vast readership of 10's it seems to me that there a few outstanding bright lights who have pertinent things to say. the number of these intelligent people is way out of proportion to the absolute number of people who come by. go figure.
we, (and i include me in that), can learn things from such readers. lots and lots of useful things.
if you have any good sense, you will read rod's comment at the "eldora" post. it is pertinent. and, it may just provide you with the wherewithal to save your big old dumb butt in case the nsa or the tsa or the obama brown shirts come looking for you, personal like, some day. (if they send lon horiuchi, you better just have "old betsy" stacked by the door, and "fully provisioned," and, "ready to go", as it were. safety "off.")
a live link to "eldora" is posted below. please read rod's comment.

Thank you for a little recognition. At my age, my objective is to take care of my family, friends, and my own damned self and, then, to pass along a little helpful knowledge. like I once informed my troopers, I'm smarter than I look.
Gratis, gratis.

p.s. "this, from an enlisted man, because obviously too smart and too keen an edge to be an officer." Not all Officers are incompetent, some of us have been "Enlisted Swine" - this, by the way is a term of endearment and not an insult. I am working a reply to your Cuban invasion post - I'm not a happy gunship pilot. I will try to cool down before replying to that note. At this point, my remarks would blister a mule's ass.
