Another child left behind, or was it fake news?

While watching the Inaugural Parade I saw a vehicle transporting two Navajo Code talkers from the Second World War. One of the TV announcers informed the audience that the Code Talkers invented their own language during the war while they were breaking the Nazi codes.

Amazing! If you do not know history, first keep yourself from saying something wrong, and second at least go see the movie, and third learn the difference between the European and Pacific theaters.

There's a difference between having 'gone to school' and having an education. This is especially poignant when it comes to the self-serving mainstream media. It manifest itself more than once today in both historical and contemporary inaccuracies. For example, today a reporter said the nuclear football/brief case weighs "about 80 lbs." Can you imagine having to tote the thing around if it did?! In the same breath he said the U.S. has the largest nuclear arsenal. Now granted, I might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer but even I know that is wrong!

The football is a metal Zero Halliburton briefcase carried in a black leather "jacket". The package weighs around 45 pounds
