Subj:     Requesting A Three Day Pass (S743)
          From: ezines@arcamax.com on 4/2/2011

 An Israeli soldier who just enlisted asked the Commanding
 Officer for a 3-day pass.  The CO says "Are you crazy?
 You just join the Israeli army, and you already want a
 3-day pass?  You must do something spectacular for that
 recognition!"

  So the soldier comes back a day later in an Arab tank!

 The CO was so impressed, he asked "How did you do it?"

 "Well, I jumped in a tank, and went toward the border with
 the Arabs.  I approached the border, and saw an Arab tank.
 I put my white flag up, the Arab tank put his white flag
 up.  I said to the Arab soldier, "Do you want to get a
 three-day pass?  So we exchanged tanks!"

Subj:     Bill Mauldin,  World War II Cartoonist
          From: tom

 Source1: http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/ARTmauldin.htm
 Source2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Mauldin

 Bill Mauldin, and his cartoons, meant so much to the millions
 of Americans who fought in World War II, and  to those who
 had waited for them to come home.  He was a kid cartoonist
 for Stars and Stripes, the military newspaper; Mauldin's
 drawings of his muddy, exhausted, whisker-stubbled infantry-
 men Willie and Joe were the voice of truth about what it was
 like on the front lines.  Click 'HERE' to read this wonderful
 story.

Subj:     Quote On Truman Firing MacArthur (S699b)
          From: Daniel Schumacher on Facebook on 6/22/10
Photo from TheFreeDictionary.com
 Source: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Harry_S._Truman

 This week President Obama fired General Stanley McChrystal
 for comments made to the Rolling Stones Magazine.  Obama said
 that no president in the last fifty years had done this since
 President Harry Truman had fired General Douglas MacArthur.

 President Harry Truman had just fired Gen. Douglas MacArthur
 for publicly disagreeing with his policy against expanding
 the Korean War into China. -- "I fired him because he wouldn't
 respect the authority of the president.  I didn't fire him
 because he was a dumb son-of-a-bitch, although he was, but
 that's not against the law for generals.  If it was, half to
 three-quarters of them would be in jail."
