Thanx, but wasn't easy to access the website, seems they are blocking all non-US IPs, I first had to install and use a proxy service to get access! Who knows, otherwise I might have stolen importat US military secrets for US eyes only, like the normandy invasion plans :nuts:

*phew* It's nice to see that I'm not the only person unable to load US military sites. I'll take my tinfoil hat off now ;)

The strange thing is that the blanket ban includes the military's various sources of propaganda such as the defencelink news site. :rolleyes:

I do not think there is a blocking of all non-US IPs as I check almost daily the CMH website and keep an eye on all U.S. armed services websites. I even subscribed to the Air Force Online news and receive it every day in my email box without any problem though my computers obviously use a French .fr IP address.

The mystery gets thicker...

I have access, too. Maybe some suspected terrorists are blocked (e.g. Kraut). Do not try to fly to USA, you will be arrested at the airport, and transferred to gitmo... :D

Only if you spent a lot of money, if you just closed the door and you two never went out when it is only a mistake... :D

We did spend a lot of money, but I can hardly imagine a better use of it - it was worth every single cent. As for the rest, no problem going out, "honeymoon" seemed to work as a magic word there, putting friendly smiles on every face. But granted, we had to close the door from time to time :halo:
