QUOTE from Chief Army MARS:

MARS has grown in all of the services throughout the world. It relies
on civilian and military MARS members to be available in case of
emergency or disaster to provide communications support. At such times,
MARS needs all of the support it can provide. Amateur Radio,
collectively with MARS, has made its mark in American history. Each
year provides new evidence of the important role it plays in the
service of the nation.

Since Lennie only believes that "reality" springs from URL's, he
can go to:

http://www.asc.army.mil/mars/history.htm

Been there, done that.

Obviously you didn't pay attention.

Been to Fort Huachuca, too, (Hq Army MARS, off to one side of
the Military Intelligence School).

They've been trying to get the smell out ever since, too.

...to get it from the horse's mouth.

Stebie got the wrong end of his "horse" again. Tsk, tsk.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

You're calling the Chief of MARS as a horses' patoot, Lennie?

He should have made some kind of remarks about the Buffalo
Soldiers. Fort Huachuca is the original home of them.

Was that in ChiefMARS comments? I missed it.

Silly Gunny, no one disputes what the Chief of Army MARS has stated.
They only dispute what you claimed, "Sorry Hans, MARS IS Amateur
Radio." Hi! Hi, hi!!!

Poor Stebie, even more brain-dead than Jim Hampton surmised.

All the fuss and furor over MARS was already done when Stebie's
famous statement ["Sorry, Hans, MARS IS amateur radio"]
was made. Stebie is trying to misdirect by pointing a finger
at "my error." Poor guy doesn't realize that when he points
his finger, four other fingers are pointing at HIM!

I don't point a finger, Lennie.

And it is "your error"...Proven with the comments of ChiefMARS.

Heh heh heh. Stebie CUTS AND PASTES from the government web
sites! [he didn't used to like that!] However, the "statement
of mission" is just worded in glorious self-illumination typical
to ALL unit or political organization statements.

NOW I SEE!

When LENNIE can quote from a website that supposedly substantiates
his "position", it's "absolute truth".

When it lands on his head, it's "glorious self-illumination"...

Uh huh...Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Only a couple weeks ago you were citing from the same sources...

No "glorious self-illumination" comments then, eh, Lennie....?!?!

Stebie wants
to take all of those absolutely LITERALLY like a good little
soldier. Such shining lights will reflect off the medals he
bought for himself at www.grunt.com or similar. He likes to
soak in that light and pretend being the big hero.

Nope..."Pretend(ing) to be the big hero" is your schtick, Lennie...

Like all those posts where you pretend to have been "somebody" by
having been in a unit that had KIA's a few years earlier...Years that
you weren't even in the service...

MARS is doing an okay job for the military. Keeps civilians
occupied through their volunteerism and the military hopes
that will reflect good will towards the military. MARS *was*
good back in the Vietnam War era for phone patches to folks
back home. But...that was THIRTY YEARS AGO! [Vietnam War
ended for the USA in 1975] The U.S. Army even made that direct
statement on the Army's Center for Military History.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...even MORE enlightenment...

Again you cite things that were "THIRTY YEARS AGO", but not what's
happening "TODAY"...

Of course you ALSO cite what happened at "ADA" in the 50's as if it
happened yesterday, but then attempt to chide Amateurs for discussing
what happened SIX years ago.

MARS is a part of SHARES...(SNIP)

Yep.

And that doesn't detract ONE BIT from the TITLE of the
thread...Actually, it ADDS to it.

Does the U.S. military need ham-assisted phone patches now?

Is "ham-assisted phone patches" ALL that the Armed Forces expects
from MARS...?!?!

Nope.

And Lennie wouldn't know that, considering his experience level in
MARS and/or Amateur Radio.

MARS was never designed/implemented/devised to be a PART of
mainstream military communications. It isn't now.

Nope. It wasn't. Who here said it was? I sure didn't.

All of the above I wrote today has been written by me in here
before. Apparently Stebie is way too selective in what he
looks for on Google searching.

Nope.

What I point out is that you denigrate and deny the services and
achievements of MARS and Amateur Radio services alike.

ChiefMARS has to answer to higher-ups in the "MILITARY" chain of
command.

[Stebie is now going to compose a "YOU LIE, YOU LIE!" message]

I don't need to yell them out, Lennie. Your mistruths are usually
glaring enough to stand out on their own...

LenStillDoesn'tKnowAthingAboutMARSorAmateurRadioAn

Putz.
