My son and I were watching the news a little while before the deadline expired. Oliver North was interviewing a Marine Captain and my son asked me an interesting question.
"Daddy,' he said, "Marines are an amphibious assault force. What are they doing in the desert?"
He had me there. The logic was inescapable. They were in a desert, not a marine environment. Sure, the Army could be in the desert, and the Air Force as well. But the Marines? Then it hit me.
"It's the sand, son. There's sand on the beach, and sand in the desert."
That's why I'm the dad.
