2003-03-20 Walt should respond to Aaron and tell him to quit being so ignorant. He should tell the whole of America that is listening that the world is metric and so is the US armed forces. I'm sure that would Shock a lot of American listeners who must think that US army uses only feet and inches.
Hey, why don't you guys who are watching the coverage go to the metric sucks sight at post a message detailing the fact that "our military" is 100 % metric. Those fools would freak out.
