Kids Love The Army
unhappycamper note: Since the ‘Pentagon’ (DoD? Gannett?) has ‘requested’ that I only post one paragraph from articles on Army Times, and Airforce Times, To keep in that same (new) tradition, I will also do the same for for articles on Navy Times, Marine Corps Times, stripes.com and military.com.
To read the article in the military's own words, you will need to click the link.

Read all about Fair Use here. It sure is beginning to smell like fascism.

unhappycamper summary of this article: I doubt if they showed the kids any Wounded Warriors. Or any of the statistics associated with veterans.

I'm sure there was nothing but happy faces there.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska — Meals Ready-to-Eat, obstacle courses and body armor might sound like components of Army basic training. Throw in the Boys and Girls Club of the Tanana Valley, and it’s more like basic fun.
