Pentagon Backs Down And Uses Common Sense, At Least This Once

Apparently the public outcry to the story behind my last posting was so negative that the armchair warrior beancounters inside the Five-sided Asylum on the Potomac have backed down. That's great news, but don't expect this flash of rationality and decency to set a precedent. It's only a matter of time before the bureaucratic beast does something else to assault the sensibilities of decent Americans by spitting in the troops' face in some other egregious fashion. And you can take that to the Pentagon Federal Credit Union.
