had lots of experienced soldiers, and probably would have been glad to help out.
You know there is a reason we have our own country up here and it ain't the balmy weather :o)

What was that term 'Manifest Destiny ?'
In 1845, a democratic leader and influential editor by the name of John L. O'Sullivan gave the movement its name. In an attempt to explain America's thirst for expansion, and to present a defense for America's claim to new territories he wrote:
".... the right of our manifest destiny to over spread and to possess the whole of the continent which Providence has given us for the development of the great experiment of liberty and federaltive development of self government entrusted to us. It is right such as that of the tree to the space of air and the earth suitable for the full expansion of its principle and destiny of growth."

By the way I like the moniker.. I like Heinlein.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, solve equations, pitch manure, program a computer, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
Specialization is for insects. -- Lazarus Long
