This is a good thread with some great input. But I don't thank anyone that is sitting in an armchair 30 years later questioning what was done or asking for evidence of its effectiveness. We all did the best we could with what we had and it worked. I wasn't all the way down down south during the war, I was in Ascension; I'm not claiming to be a real war vet here. But it's not for any of us to question the actions of those that were really in the thick of it.
Sorry to sound like I'm coming on strong, but I feel pretty strongly about this one.
Ready to accept backlash.
