He said he had just gotten off the phone with his girlfriend, who had just spoken to her nephew, who told her that he was ordered for an emergency deployment to Gitmo in the next 6 hours from then.
With that piece of info and what I had just told him, he was taking what I was saying very seriously, and is going to stay with his girlfriend for the foreseeable future.
I know this piece of info is inconsequential to the bigger scope of the picture, but to me it only adds to the validity of it with her nephews sudden deployment to Gitmo.
Also, my friend, who is in the NG, told me that - all of a sudden - his unit was required to have a class on the constitution.
He has been in the guard for almost 20 years. That has never been a requirement.
Dang. It should have been a requirement.
You’d imagine they’d have learn it in school already, but.......
Excellent point.
