Bad behavior could get you a weekend at the big house. Evidently, that was a one hundred percent certainty of non repeat. <br />Stories?

Interdiction, deep strike, CAS, etc. are all things air power does well but without ground forces are just so many fireworks displays, pretty, hurts the enemy but doesn't make him quit. Hasn't in the past, won't in the future. (Hiroshima and Nagasaki don't count, those air strikes forced Japan to realize the war was lost, in reality their days were numbered anyway. The nukes just made sure that thousands wouldn't have to die in an invasion of the Home Islands.) Hhmm, idea for a post right there...<br /><br />As to Halloween, I would think that orange jump suits are never a good costume idea in an area having a prison. This did shake loose some dust from an old memory of a Halloween costume party in Germany, back in the day. I shall have to tell that story this week.<br /><br />Great post Juvat, enjoy Down Under.
