You're as evasive as our resident faux Hispanic, 'Eduardo'.

And you continue to cling tenuously to a failed narrative. I dare you
to go 24 hours without listening to WABC (or any other Limbaugh/Hannity
venom spewer).

I dare you to pull your head out of your ass and smell the fresh air!


That's not fresh air; that's the dead carp you saw the other day.

Such as what?

Listen in and you might just find out. After you pull your head out of your ass,
of course.

Consider that there are a number of things that are not like things at
home. One is that the listener him/herself is different. They're
committed. They're focussed. They're trained. They've volunteered to
serve. They're politically active at the most basic level. They're less
concerned about the fluff that dominates the evening news than they are
defending the fundamental freedoms that permit the behaviours that lead to
the fluff that dominates the evening news.

That takes them off most squares of the psychographic grid. Hometown
demography doesn't apply. They're a different type of people with
listening tastes and habits that reflect a different type of lifestyle.

Another consideration is that there are dramatically fewer choices for
listening in theatre. Unlike you and me, who have a dial full of
selections, troops in theatre have a fraction of the offerings. They
listen, as you say, for fresh truths from home. Not for the latest George
Michael release.

And politically, they tend to a more conservative path. Rush is big with
military, as a whole, regardless of demography.

Programming AFN is not like programming WKSC.

As past part of a comittee to get two AFRTS stations in Puerto Rico closed
(they were) I find that statement disingenuous. Very often, the AFRTS
offerings seem demographically inappropriate and way removed from the tastes
of the average recruit.
Drop Gleason into a Marine base in-country and he'd get a dose of
reality he assiduously avoids in his current position.


If you were to go there, you would find little use of AFRTS radio, and lots
of iPods and MP3 players.


And Worldspace for the BBC.

Why did you want them closed?

Wouldn't they let you pretend that you owned them?

There's a lot of anti-military in this country. I live about 5
minutes from Great Lakes. It's shameful the way men and women in uniform
are treated in public, here.

I was behind a woman at Wal-Mart in Waukegan about 3 months ago. She
was clearly stocking up, and was burning up some serious time in the
checkout line. The guy behind me was grousing about it.

I noticed her ID on a lanyard around her neck. And asked if she was
Navy. She affirmed she was, and I thanked her for her service. You
should have heard the noise. From others in line. From others in
adjacent lines. The cashier had the good sense to be quiet, but was
clearly disamused.

The pride with which Gleason asserts his part in getting two AFRTS
stations closed only underscores the assertion sometime back that the
only thing we've ever heard him renounce is his citizenship.

Amen to that.

We've a ships reunion next year at or near Great Lakes, so perhaps I'll get down
that way.

I certainly hope to do so. Been 30 years or more since I saw a lot of those guys.
