This raises the question of how official Army documents come to be in the public domain. I contacted the U.S. Army, the Natick Center, and they gave me no answer at all for six months. Finally, after about a year, the media director replied and said you can file a memorandum with the Army allowing you to ask questions. I filed the memorandum, with 25 key questions and, at last, the media director replied. The response was, “You can ask the questions, but we will not answer you.”That’s it?

But choosing to see the fun, delight, and wonder at every step of the way gave me a far richer experience.
