There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been.

King looks like he is hating every minute of it. He and Marshall loathed each other. But King gets the front seat. Interesting that Marshall is senior in DOR by almost 15 months on King but gets in back.

King has the "Keys to the ride home" and the rest know it. He also has control of the food served in the mess. Just sayin

Also, has anyone seen a photo of Ike in a steel pot? I have seen a picture of him with leggings and webgear but he was wearing a piss cutter hat. It was during Operation TORCH.
