why the advance notice? wont the drunks avoid the area? I am confused!
I hope i never go into battle with these reporters nor do i think they should report on our soldiers engaged in battle,
we are at war with drunk drivers and this reporter might even contribute to the death of someone killed by a drunk driver, we know that the suns staff has giving away our position and we are at a even larger disadvantage!
Thanks goes to the staff for dialect of duty, Conduct unbecoming!
