Title: SOA closing (OT)
Post by: vadr on December 14, 2000, 09:16:00 PM

"After 37 years, the U.S. Army School of the Americas at Fort Benning, Ga., will close its doors permanently Dec. 15."

The Story (http://www.military.com/Content/MoreContent?file=FL_schoolclose_ans)

I taught there for a little while, which is really the only reason I post it.

There is an allegation it trained terrorists. It isn't true but that matters little to the protesters.
