What I read from the article is that they are willing to be moved, they are not willing to be screwed on the price. Now this will go through the courts and have a judge or jury decide on the price based, hopefully, on the facts of the case, not sentiment of the family, and not expedience of the government.

We’d invite you over for some tea, but we threw it all away.

Three words: India and Pakistan :)

When a friend asks you if you want to ride the Aegis destroyer Atago, you say YES! I did, on 2days notice. I didn’t know it was such a big deal though, I was told they do the review on a 3year rotation, Army, Navy, Airforce, Army, Navy, Airforce. . .
