Robert Evans (the Only Robert Evans)I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

I mean ... sure. Seaman Timmy the Mess Cook might have a suggestion or two ... No, seriously. If you're looking for "out of the box" ideas you can't do better than asking 'the troops' as I always called them. I guaran-damn-tee of that. :) <to be clear, I was enlisted for 6 years so, it was me>
