INTERESTING
I heard on the TV over the weekend that the cadre from West Point visited the writers of 24 and asked them to tone it down because they were having a hard time convincing cadets that torture is not the way. I'm struck by how sad our education system must be if the teachers at West Point can't educate their students and instead have to resort to trying to change Jack Bauer. And how hopeless the students must be.

So I looked up more info on this story and got completely sucked into this New Yorker article: WHATEVER IT TAKES The politics of the man behind “24.”

I would of thought that an army wife would be more inclined to agree with West Point than a hollywood tv show. I guess we like what we like though.

True enough! Grammar is everything. The old, ethical,moral generation of our military will be gone soon enough. Those raised on cartoons will rise to the top. The situation will become interesting! Cool TEEVEE will result.
