1. Around 2023....I was on Ramstein....taking a coffee break in the 'mega' mall. Two NCOs (early 30s)....were discussing their impending PCS back to the US, and the topic came up....medal action. Both were getting accommodation medals, and both had seen/read the text.
The one critical comment out of this? One of the two was getting a medal....where the stuff he did over four years warranted the medal....but 20-percent of the text related to 'crap' he'd done for Covid. He asked for them (the leadership) to remove that part....but it'd already gotten to the approval point.
I won't use the term....'worthless'....but in some way, he didn't want it on his accomplishments.
2. I hate to say it....but TV from 1969 to 1973....was probably better than 90-percent of the BS you see on TV today.
3. I've reached the point where I don't see the UK in the top dozen countries, and by rejoining the EU (now very likely in 2027)....financially-speaking....they probably be at the same level as Greece.
4. This Ghost Murmur tech-crap that the CIA showed off.....tracks people by their heart-beat....not just 10 feet, or 100 ft, or ten miles.
Within ten years....it'll probably be used to note precisely how many people live within each state.
