In Texas, "idjit" is proper spelling.

And lordy I was kidding. Gnomey, only making light of the south's preponderance to make up their own phonics.

And before any southerners get their britches in a bind, I ARE one. So I reckon you should keep your anger over yonder, your grits warm and your chew tightly between gums and cheek.

And P-38. Don't you chime in. It is very likely that we are related. I have lots of kin in Alabama.

Why is it I have this chewing sensation around my ankles.

Anyway I thought that some bright General (Shinseki) said everyone was going to wear a green beret in the US Army.

That kinda knackers the Special Forces tag a tad.

I thought they were going to black berets? And rangers went to tan for distinction? I am probably totally making this up though...

No about 3 years ago we switched to the Black Beret. The whole army. We only wore the regular patrol caps when we were in the field or deployed. The Green Berets still where Green and the Airborne still wear maroon and the Rangers went to Tan.

The Rangers made a stink saying they have allways worn the black beret but that is not true because the Black Beret was originally for Tankers.

I think I read about that. Heh. The tankers up here (who wear black berets also) make a stink every once in a while about the Navy wearing black berets. We had 'em first though, so tough!
