    GOD'S BOOT CAMP When a civilian enters the military, they go through boot camp. It's my understanding that in boot camp, the individual is broken down, and they are retrained to see themselves as part of the unit. They are conditioned to be disciplined to obey the commands of their superiors. In a ...read more

    OK HERE, BANNED OVERSEAS When I was a child, this advertisement would not have had a dog's show of making it onto the tele. It's a picture of this young lady on an Australian beach, saying "We've saved a spot on the beach," and I think there's a bit that says, "We've had the camels shampooed." We ...read more
