Clean and articulate. One of them might even run for President some day.

Yes, how rich people got richer...bought them in 1972, and sold them recently for $1.5m plus.

The past is set in stone,
The future is ours to own.

I did a two week stint on a naval ship, simulated USMC beach landing in 1972 just before my EAS. We got outside US waters and everyone went to ship's stores to buy smokes. I bought a carton for $1.70. Of course, an E-4 earned about $8K a year then.

I'm loving this indictment of Capitalism and profits and executive pay and perks and golden parachutes and Reagan. Love it!

What was the Pentagon budget in 1972? Want to go back to that, also?

This was me in 1972, toting an M60 while on field maneuvers at Ft. Benning, GA. It was cold that day.
