re: Atlanta Airport TSA

Posted by shspanthers on 5/6/24 at 1:57 pm
When I flew back from Belize last fall, arriving at Atlanta and dealing with their customs agents and gate agents was a rude shock after a week of people being so laid back. They were the rudest and most aggressive airport employees I've seen. Yelling at people, rude tones, abrupt with people askin...

WWII Question - Truk Lagoon

Posted by shspanthers on 2/19/24 at 11:12 am
I'm re-reading Ian Toll's "The Conquering Tide", and I was confused as to why the Japanese didn't evacuate all ships from Truk Lagoon when they moved their heavy warships out.
