| Tribuni Angusticlavii | Post; Green Jelly Bean FlightsAt one time at a remote site I was at, married service members were intitled to what the troops called a Green Jelly Bean Flight, or a flight to home visit from a long term overseas short tour, for morale purposes. Since the man was usally married, and had big kids at home, the custom was to give the man a large bag of green jelly beans, (or M&Ms, skittles, ect as long as the color was green) and a sheet of instructions for their use. Mine was worded as follows: For extra time alone with the wife: 1. Arrive home. 2. Show kids the bag of candy. 3. Open the bag, and scatter candy throughout the grass. 4. Go spend a few moments alone with mom. 5. Pray they arent fast searchers....

__________________ If I am asked what we are fighting for, I can reply in two sentences. In the first place, to fulfil a solemn international obligation . . . an obligation of honor which no self-respecting man could possibly have repudiated. I say, secondly, we are fighting to vindicate the principle that small nationalities are not to be crushed in defiance of international good faith at the arbitrary will of a strong and overmastering Power.
