John's explained it in another post. I had no idea they existed. Our military wears a mukluk-sized boot that comes to just below the knee, but if it has fur or an airpocket lining I wouldn't know. It's just a big, padded-looking affair that's white and isn't laced, but strapped. Elmer L.

Why would the USA lower its tariffs, allow most of its heavy industry to relocate overseas, and become dependent on the rest of the world for almost everything, and then get into a war? How would war with China affect Wal-Mart? How would Wal-Mart going belly up affect our national economy?
