I suppose the 3rd MI Bn and Guardrail are still there -- I think everything else is long gone. If so, the 3rd has plenty of room for barracks etc. I would assume they still use the trailers since at least in theory they could pick up and relocate as needed.

uh… what? This fella is a bit challenged in more than one way to think he’s living better in North Korea than in the US Last edited by saphirschwarz.f48; 08-27-2023 at 04:40 AM.. |

Well I just hope he enjoys it there, but think this will become another Bowe Bergdahl like case.

If a trade happens, the other side will be getting the better deal.

He appeared to be trying to escape a military trial on charges and was laughing as he crossed the DMZ, not the actions of a rational person. Do you think that his life will be better in North Korea?

Big news! Apparently he's back in U.S. custody. I hope the Army charges him with unauthorized absence (or desertion) for his NK vacation. And now they can proceed with whatever they were going to do before his defection, plus any new charges.

He will get a slap on the wrist, end up sitting in limbo at his unit getting questioned and then paid doing nothing for the next 15-24 months while the military processes a general discharge, and sent on his way. This is too public now for them to actually punish him without any backlash from the general public or bleeding heart politicians.

He needs to get what Bowe Bergdahl should have received, 10+ years making little rocks out of bigger rocks. Last I checked, desertion was punishable by death!

I just saw a report, actually on the mainstream news, about how they are teaching children to read these days. Apparently it is picture based. No more phonics or teaching how to sound out new words. I know a little about the stupid way they teach math these days, but hadn’t heard about this. Without pictures the students were unable to read. So they weren’t actually reading at all, just recognizing pictures to figure out what was happening. The story was about an inner city elementary school somewhere and the new principal. She discovered fewer than 15% of these elementary school children were able to read at grade level and she decided they had to change how they were teaching. Fewer than 15% able to read at an elementary level! That’s not a hard level. Can you imagine where they would be by the time they got to high school?! So they went back to phonics and teaching how to sound out words. After the return to actual academics the children’s ability to read at grade level soared to over 85% and as a result the entire school district changed back to actual teaching. There are so many disturbing things here, but I just can’t comprehend how the teachers went along with abdicating their role as actual teachers and educators. This wasn’t something new. This method of “teaching” had been in place for many years. I have a lot of friends who are teachers and I’ve been wanting to ask my English teacher friends for quite a while what the hell is going on in English classes these days. I guess I just got a little glimpse.
