All I have to say, brother, is Amen! Anti-Intellectualism is the "cool" thing in too many fields today, and I think it'll eventually lead to a re-stangation of society, technology, and science - at least in America, where we'll be content to be a third-rate country so long as we can still buy McDonalds.
Can you give any proof of the link between IRBs (or HSCs) and the AMA? Since IRBs exist at institutions to review reseach done at institutions, it would stand to reason that the people submitting proposals on research done on humans to the IRB would, in fact, have degrees, since they work there. Since this applies t all human research, psychologists, too (for example) have to get IRB approval - and I don't believe that most sports physiologists (another example) or psychologists have anything to do with the AMA. Since the IRB exists to prevent research that harms the subject, like the Tuskegee experients, for example, I am puzzled by your assertion that it exists to drive up health care costs. Can you please clarify or give any proof? Thanks!
So you're saying that protecting soldiers, who are out doing those things because a representatively elective government told them to do it, is a bad thing? Maybe you'd prefer if these people, trying to do something that's right, died instead, because you either a. elected a bad government, or b. didn't do enough to ensure that a good government was elected, either way putting them in harm's way. I don't understand what kind of worldview you must have, but I think it's twisted.
Having spent 6 months burning everything I produced, I'll tell you I would have killed for a shredder - it takes FOREVER for a stack of papers to burn, so you have to either crumple every sheet of paper you throw in the burn bag, or resign yourself to spending 30 minutes standing next to a burn barrel, stirring your mass of papers with a long metal pole. (and of course the wind always blows the smoke right towards you).

2 Hots a day sounds great unless you factor in the amount of time your counterparts in the BLUFOR support platoon have to spend driving. I know our S&T guys spent at least 6 hours a day on our one logpac of the day, what with company XOs being late, vehicles breaking down, convoys getting held up or lost, BSA jumping, etc. Another battalion tried the two a day concept and wore their support guys into the ground, and BTW, nobody wants the hot meals anyway a lot of time - it takes way too long to set up the chow line and eat when you're trying to do important stuff like sleep or dig in. But that was a light/heavy rotation, so maybe things are different for the heavy guys.
And who was the first man to die in an airplane crash? An Army Lieutenant by the name of Thomas Selfridge, recieving flight instruction from Orville... Probably in that $25,000 machine, too.

Yup - Bohr, Fermi, Einstein et. al - they didn't do anything significant while in America (especially in the early 40s), now did they?
Onboard sensors like... an onboard compass, wind speed sensor, intertial guidance system, LORAN, a sextant (and clock)? Sounds much lighter...
RT(F)A (don't know why I even bother saying that). They have backups (3 last time, unk how many this time, but at least 1 based on the pictures page)
