[Rhodes22-list] Political: Red vs. Blue States

[Joseph Hadzima]

I  do recall a story about how the new EW gear was used to
jam the Navy & Marines so they couldn't do their landing
... we got orders to turn them off so the real RED Army
wouldn't think our navel forces were dummies!  In operation
reforger (Germany) that actually transfered a new EW asset
(Guardrail) from the Orange to Blue ... since the Our
Orange Team was doing better than they should.  So of these
guys take it so seriously!  

Ah I love EW ... had  alot of fun teasing the Green Benies
& post MPs ... I was in mataince, and we only did it to
"check
 if the equipment worked.
