Nothing. Bring our people home so they can have a life without being killed by `friendly fire` .

BA in history???? I imagine the employment recruiters were breaking down your door. BA umeans getting drunk alot and pulling the fire alarm for kicks

Education. Those that can't DO, teach

I don't teach.......

I've never made $35, 000 in a year in my life.

But that's not the point here, is it?

Tell you what, if I need to know how to con little old ladies out of their cat food money, or if I ever need another moron to tell me what happened in the financial sector yesterday, or if I ever need help counting beans or adding up columns of numbers with a calculator, I'll give you a call.

If you ever wish to be enlightened on the workings of government, defense, or international affairs....I'll be willing to try and help you out.

My MBA is in Project Management - Aerospace and I've worked in the Defence and Aerospace industry for 20+ yrs. Now as a consultant to The Canadian Space Agency and recently to DND.

but personal accomplishments are besides comparison to a BA in history (what was the concentration - )Religious fervour in the praries?) and a B.ed.

If I need "Green Eggs and Ham translated to "adult", you'll be the first I'll come to.

Sorry about that. My apologies. A neocon demanded a background check and I was happy to oblige


Now, back to Afghanistan

What are we doing there? Not alot except getting truckloads af Afghani''s killed and over 100 Canadian troops. So where's the value? There really isn't any except to reveal our glaring deficiencies in military hardware and appease the our neighbour to the south with a "we're right behind ya George"

It's time to get out and leave the Afghani's to solve their own mess.

That's actually funny: I didn't think you had in in you......

Actually, out of the 120 credit hours of my degree, 75 were history, 36 poly sci.

Obviously, I covered the bases in history....Canadian, European, history of warfare, South American history, did an seminar course in American (Vietnam war), Russian........

Consultant.....doesn't that mean lots of money for nothing????

:)

Oh, BTW, once again it is COLPY, a adaptation of my last name....not my first.

Speaking of education as related to reading skills.........
