You've been saying that for years, Len. It's disingenuous at best.

It's accurate to say that none of you had to have an _FCC_ license to
do your job. In reality, the "Federal license" that was required was
the assignment to your job by military superiors - who could yank you
out of there for any reason, real or imagined, effectively 'canceling"
that "license". At least the FCC has to hold a hearing at which you
can defend yourself.
