Gosh, without the NFL on the AFN, they'll have to watch the game at a
bar or on a computer or maybe they'll watch something intellectually
stimulating.

So ignorant you are of military service, especially overseas duty or on
ships at sea.

Go back to sleep.



Thank you for pointing that out.

Do you think German or Italian TV stations would preempt soccer to show NFL playoff games? Krause,
you show your ass daily.

That is just ridiculous. The political hacks in DC will do anything to
screw the constituents to get their way and the USCS assholes will go
along.
It is one more reason why we should be privatizing a lot more of this
stuff.
There is a little bird sanctuary here in Sanibel and they shut that
down, in spite of the fact that there are enough volunteers to run the
place here now. Most of the volunteers have been there longer and are
more qualified than the GS-5 "rangers" anyway. They still have the
security staff working and emergency services come from the Sanibel
Fire Department.
They security staff are "essential" to insure nobody can sneak in and
look at the birds without the help of the government.
