Even NPR is guilty of the typical US media contempt for the military.  This
morning, they were speaking of the return on leave of "Company B of the
101st Airborne Division".  There are probably 17 or 18 units called
"Company B" in an Airborne Divison.  A company is a rather small subset of
a division.

And, of course, there is no real Baseball being played tonight, only some
game from the AAA+ of the minors, the American League.  The Senior Circuit
IS the Senior Circuit for sound and solid reasons!
