Michigan: Army

On “War Inside My Head,” a Michigan writer compares the Army then versus the Army now (he’s signed up for another tour): “The Army now is nothing like the Army that I was in back in the late 80′s early 90′s. The computer age has finally caught up to the military both in equipment and in the personal. Back in the day when you were done with your duty day you would sit around and talk with your buddies, play cards or read a book. Now and days its all about the gadgets from laptops to iPods. Not only are the gadgets prevalent but the kids in the Army these days are the computer generation. This is a good thing, as much of the equipment in the military is electronic something or other.”  In one post WIMH also offers a detailed critique of the use of Velcro on uniforms.  [Source]
