An interesting film on US troops guarding SA bases in the UK, c 1955. The commentary is glowing about 'England'; indeed i found it quite moving.

You might want to check out 'The Duffel Blog" before judging that story about Minnesota and Veterans. Some other articles from that august body include;

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel was awarded fifteen days restriction for taking the Pentagon’s duty van on an unauthorized late night beer run, according to officials.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A congressional investigation concluded this week, revealing a decades-long conspiracy by the United States Air Force to recruit and retain better-looking women than other branches of the U.S. military

GRAFENWÖHR, GERMANY – During a training deployment to the Grafenwöhr Training Area, a U.S. Army unit mistakenly invaded Germany, effectively re-igniting World War II, according to a spokesman for 7th Army Headquarters.

Although after this week's events the middle story probably isn't the joke it should be.
