LJD- To answer your multiple choice question: 2

The whole badge fetish in the military is a bit puerile.

So Kappiy- what's your point?
I find it very distressing how some anti-war bloggers find it so easy to take such jabs at our troops. Are you saying:
1.) The CAB is not deserved by those receiving it?
2.) The CAB is a joke, comparable to a merit badge in beekeeping?
3.) The military is like boy scouts?
For an individual who exhibits a total lack of knowledge on military issues, and blatant carelessness with their freedom of speech, I would expect no less. So what have you done for the troops today?

News Break
A quick roundup of some items I saw tonight but I don't have the time to wrap them up separately. I noticed that a school in Michigan banned the school band from playing Louie Louie because of what Snopes says...

As long as they don't do away with the Beekeeping merit badge, it's ok with me.

James: The key issue on this new badge is included in the WaPo article that you cite. It's the phrase "including women." That's critical: this badge is all about gender politics. I've got a post up http://www.charmaineyoest.com/archives/2005/05/combat_action_b.html which talks about this. Thanks.
