The jobs these guys and gals do is awe-inspiring. And that's not exactly a short flight back to Ft. Campbell, either. I'll be watching in a few days, as flights should go pretty much overhead here in Nashville.

I guess that a tow tractor is too new-fangled for the Army.

One important policy to note of this administration is that they are rotating military units as units, i.e. battalions. In So. East Asia, 35 years ago, that was not the case. Individuals were replaced as they left the unit (for whatever reason) by other individuals. It was a destructive policy to soldiers moral, Esprit de Corps and, from beginning to end, US military effectiveness.
