I don't know of another journalist that has as much of a voice in explaining the sacrifice of the military to the people at home.Originally Posted by NightTrain

You are SO freakin fired, It's "Ready .. TO". As in come to. Ready is the preparatory command and to is the command of execution. Damned squids. All y'all do is f*ck shit up.My Dad's Era....
All I can say is "Hand Salute...Ready Two"....then bow heads in respect.Now if you were a jarhead the command would be "Present .. ARMS" . Then Ready ... TO.
And, you're older than dirt more than me. Ernie Pyle was my grandfather's time. Grandpa.

I do get your point, but I couldn't resistat you.
