President Cristina's statement about an American threat is actually valid, as her government's heavy handed manipulation of one of the worlds most beloved companies being forced to sell its sandwiches below their cost of production.
Oct 01st, 2014 - 11:16 am - Link - Report abuse 0In order to mislead the IMF, the famous “Big Mac” index was manipulated by the Argentine government which caused enormous losses to the McDonalds Corporation along with ridiculous employment obligations which has caused continuous losses for nearly the past decade.
Any one who understands the Yankee mindset will understand exactly why that an attack against this iconic corporation with the “Golden Arches” would result in orders for her elimination with extreme prejudice.
_________________________________________________
BUENOS AIRES–USA Today 30Sep14 President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner has said that her government was applying the “socialist Peronist formula: an abandoned company taken over by the working class,” in reference to last week’s occupation of restaurants belonging to the U.S. fast food giant, the McDonalds Corporation.
“It’s the government new policy. Any company that is abandoned will be taken over by the working class with the support of the revolutionary Peronist government. Let it be known,” Cristina Fernández de Kirchner said during a cabinet meeting aired Monday on state television channel.
The Argentinian government Saturday announced the “temporary” occupation of the McDonalds restaurants as well as the resumption of servying the public once “operational restrictions” are done away with.
The McDonalds Corporation reported Monday from its U.S. headquarters in Chicago that it had left Argentina due to measures imposed by Fernández's government, economic uncertainty, employment laws and supply interruptions
For almost three years it was forced to sell over two-thirds of its products at prices determined by the government which led to a huge increase in the costs of production and steady operational losses.
Classic Argentine mentality. The big boy is picking on me and keeping me and my county down. Woe is me. Woe is Argentina.

Last Friday, with as little publicity possible, all corporate owned restaurants were closed and on Monday re-opened with a small advisory that they were under operation by the court.
Suppliers of bread, meat, etc... we're never controlled by the McDonalds Corporation and operations are being handled somewhat normally. The use of the McDonalds trademark, facilities and operations is being vigorously protested by the Americans.
“if something happens to me, look North”
Oct 01st, 2014 - 12:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Is she now paranoid about being bumped off by Father Christmas?
You never know. I can tell you for sure that the corporate media wants her out, that's not paranoia, you just have to read the two most powerful papers here. They don't bother to hide their intentions. Politics in latin america are a lot more complicated than you might think. The media in these countries tend to be monopolistic, and many times (if not most) they were the real power not the politicians. I know it sounds crazy to you but do your own research if you like, you'll find that they often were the voice and propaganda for dictators that get in power and decide on their own to invade and go to war just in an attempt to save themselves.

The same with papers, the government control several but altogether don't sell the twentieth part that Grupo Clarin sells alone.
Lanata like his colleagues working for the kirchnerite they are all fighting a war on the money. Sadly both sides lie and lie a lot.
Believe me 80 percent of the media is not controlled by the government. That's just another of the many exaggerations you get to hear these days from both sides.

@43 It is not the same as you well know. The military is virtually non existent now. The best thing the Argentine people could do is get rid of CFK and Kirchnerism altogether.

So where was the “power of the hegemonic Press?”
The money spent by the government on bribing private media outlets to print their propaganda is OUR money not the kirchnerite's. The money that is spent uselessly on Futbol para Tod@s is also OUR money and should be spent on our schools, our hospitals and providing security on the streets.
I also hope that CFK finishes her mandate and that the peronists never ever get voted in again!!!!!!!
CHICAGO-ChicTrib 01Oct14
Oct 01st, 2014 - 02:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0A McDonald's Corporation spokesman made a terse short official statement about “current operational difficulties in Argentina.” He stated the the shutdown of restaurants was never meant as a permeant move, and that the McDonald's company never had any intentions to abandon the 236 units in Argentina. “McDonalds is the world's largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurants, serving around 68 million customers daily in 119 countries across 35,000 outlets.” He commented. “We are thoughtful that current misunderstandings hopefully will be resolved”and did confirm that current management of the operations in Argentina were being controlled by the courts. He blamed many of the current operational issues due to supply problems, monetary controls and governmental interference.
It’s unclear what exactly is causing all the supply problems. But a tumbling Argentine peso, the country’s shrinking supply of valuable US dollars, and rising inflation has been making it increasingly difficult to import foreign goods. There’s some suggestion that McDonald’s is having trouble importing the condiment from neighboring Chile, where ketchup is packaged for the entire region. McDonald’s has refused to comment outside of its statements via Twitter.
But clearly some Argentines see the ketchup conundrum as an outgrowth of president Cristina Kirchner’s currency controls regime, which the government undertook in an attempt to prop up the feeble peso.
“Not with ketchup, Cristina. Not with ketchup,” a local tweeted yesterday afternoon.

There is no chaos in the streets of Argentina and there won't be anytime soon - just political turmoil but that's ok?
Don't buy blindly what the media prints. - I don't but I am allowed to express an opinion - it's called freedom of speech.
Remember what they said about WMD in irak and what happened, ISIS beheading innocent people and the americans now wishing they could resuscitate Saddam Hussein. - Not sure they would want that mass killer back, likewise I doubt most Argentines would want any of their own fascist dictators back but you never know.

McDonald’s abandons its $32 Million Cheese Partnership In Argentina
By InvestBA On October 1, 2014·
Add Comment · In agribusiness, competitiveness, foreign investment, franchises, us companies
The cheddar cheese investment was a part of an aggressive move to nationalize ingredient procurement. Due to Argentina’s exorbitant import tariffs, the investment had created a golden opportunity resulting in new job creation in Argentina.
Arcos Dorados, the world’s largest McDonald’s franchisee, invested in a $32 million Dollar cheese production plant in the Province of Santa Fe. The plant was built in conjunction with Milkaut Argentina, a subsidiary of French agribusiness giant Groupe Soparind-Bongrain.
The Milkaut plant employed 40 workers and produced 4,000 tons of cheddar cheese for McDonald’s restaurants annually.
According to Diario Norte, Milkaut, a strategic supplier of McDonald’s in Argentina and other Latin American countries, was reporting enormous losses to to labor unrest, theft, malicious contamination and local corruption. The cheese investment formed a part of McDonald’s aggressive plan to nationalize the production of all ingredients.

@69 If you are new to a forum it is probably a good idea to watch for a while to pick up on the tone. A lot of what is said is not to be taken literally but in the context of long term discussions. There are a number of highly offensive people posting both for and against Argentina. By far the nastiest come from Argentines, though one or two anti-anything-Argentine are completely ignored by me. But the majority of people posting have something interesting to say and a perspective to offer.
Oct 01st, 2014 - 05:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0A lot of people here know Argentina well and have strong links there. We have lived there and have family and friends there. I have not heard there is rioting in the streets and a curfew yet but crime is at an all time high. My friends are very worried about the inflation and insecurity. To argue that anyone but the government is to blame for this current crisis would be a lie.

About freedom of speech? Oh yes I'm quite used to it, in Argentina you can say whatever you want about anyone. - without getting your head kicked in would you be able to wave a Falkland Island flag and shout support for their right to self determination. Be honest!
Now I know for a fact cus I've been there in person that in Britain you can't question a certain elderly rich woman or her vast family,
Of course you can. The merits of the civil list v crown estate are debated in the media at regular intervals through out the year.
and about the falklands they say that political parties are not allowed, you can't question the government and you can't have an opinion different from that given by the colonial system. - that's just silly. An overwhelming majority of people in the UK are determined to keep the Falkland Islands free of Argentine aggression but there are some drugged up “pop stars”, a retarded politician and a few guardian readers who openly disagree without any problems.

Thankfully there are some enlightened posters who recognize the importance of a creative understanding of current geo-political issues that affect international relations.
Oct 01st, 2014 - 07:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's remarkable that the fate of a regional somewhat well known wine produced in a small European nation may determine the recent diplomatic recognition of the Argentine pretension of what is known in most civilized nations as the Falkland Islands.
There have been a number of indignant outcries in the Duchy of Grand Fenwick by the national Anti-Dilutionist party who have accused the Argentinian wine industry flooding the European market with Tetrapak wine from Mendoza labeled “Pinot Grande de Fénico” in almost the same style and printing as the famous Duchy's “Pinot Grand Fenwick” and threatening Fenwick's prime market in the Geneva–Montreux–Chamonix areas.
There are serious and shocking rumors of the Duchess even being possibly deposed by her Anglophile younger sister in a coup d'état. This especially after it was discovered that the notorious Argentine wine was unknowingly being served at the Duchy's Gray Goose Pub which has caused an outrage among the populace.
Complicating the unrest are questions recently raised by the Fenwick Chancellor of the Exchequer regarding the Grand Duchess expenditures at Harrods, detailed as “replacement Hermès saddles and uniforms” for the Duchy's defense calvary, which apparently disbanded sometime after the end of the Franco-Prussian War in 1871.
Should the Duchess be deposed, there may be a call for military action against Argentina, and perhaps that is why Cristina is worrying for her safety.

The UK will never abandon the Falkland Islands. We didn't in 1982, in fact we spent 255 lives getting it back from the Argentine fascists, and that is something we will NEVER forget.
The UN will never abandon the Falkland Islands, because to do so would be to undermine it's own charter, thus allowing the UK to ignore them completely.
The only deluded people here are you, and your President. You know the one. The crazy b!tch who is busy stealing all of your money, ruining your country, and ensuring that you and your children will remain in poverty forever.
On the other hand the Falkland Islands are going from strength to strength and will still be going strong when Argentina has finally disappeared up it's own hoop.
Have a nice day. I'm sure they are in the Falklands. Imagine, all that money, an honest and law abiding government, who follows the laws of the land.
That's only something that you could dream of in your wildest imaginings.

Firstly, the UK and USA are allies so why would we go to war with each other? Secondly, the last time the Royal Navy and US Navy went on exercise together the RN's Type 45 destroyers literally ran circles around the US Navy, and the US couldn't pinpoint their position because of their stealth capabilities. You know the Type 45's, don't you? The ones your beloved Hector Timerman named the 'Death Star' before the WHOLE UN General Assembly. And guess what? The British have 6 'Death Star's' in total. Plus several Astute class submarines (the most advanced in the world).
Argentina has...er...some ships that sink in port, a sailing vessel, and a submarine which has been welded together and can't submerge. Ooooh, us British are really trembling in our boots about those assets.
China only cares about China. You really are deluded if you think that they're going to come to your help. China is going to bleed Argentina dry and then throw you away like an empty can.
But the last time the Chinese came up against the British they lost the fighting capability of an entire army to ONE British regiment. The Chinese General in charge was believed to have said to the commanding officer of the 'Glorious Glosters' “If this is how you defend a hill in a country that means NOTHING to you, then I pity the men that invade England.”
As for Russia, they only have the capability of invading people who share a border with them, so I think both the UK and the Falkland Islands will be more than safe from them.
Poor deluded Argie troll. So angry. So frustrated. So desperate. So impotent.
UK is a small country. A former colonial power like Spain. Small european countries that's why you keep bringing up stories from 5 centuries ago. You need to wake and accept what you are today. Look if it was Russia who had the islands I wouldn't even mind talking about malvinas cus it would be impossibe to recover them. But you camon, you are the little nation that hadn't been for Russians you'd be arguing in german with me now. The world laughs at your country once rich and powerful today holding tight and scared the malvinas like an old woman her purse.

Argentina Objects to Top Gear's FLK Number Plates:
Top Gear presenter Jeremy
Clarkson was described by the
Mirror on Thursday as facing the
wrath of Argentines, after driving
through the country in a Porsche
with a number plate that appears
to reference the Falklands War.
However the programme’s
bosses denied the number plate
H982 FKL was used intentionally
during filming of a special
edition of the show in Argentina.
The plate went unnoticed on the
first part of his trip on the famous
Patagonian Highway from the ski
resort of Bariloche to the southern
port of Ushuaia.
But, it made local headlines
midweek as Mr Clarkson neared
the end of his 1,350 mile trek at
the head of a convoy of vehicles
including a Lotus and Ford Mustang
driven by fellow presenters
James May and Richard Hammond.
The Mirror said Argentine
newspaper Clarin claimed it was
highly sensitive for Argentines
and Mr Clarkson could have
problems. The presenter was also
criticised on Twitter with one user
telling him: “Your irony is not
funny in Argentina.”
But Andy Wilman, Top Gear’s
executive producer, said: “Top
Gear production purchased
three cars for a forthcoming programme;
to suggest that this car
was either chosen for its number
plate, or that alternative number
plates were substituted for the
original is completely untrue.”

Coincidence? I think not!

Oct 03rd, 2014 - 06:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0We don't need to bring up stuff from 5 centuries ago...that's what Argentina does.
How about 32 years ago? When this 'small country' kicked your 'large countries' arse off our territory and humiliated you before the whole world.
You remember that war, don't you? When the British defeated Argentina in a war that even the USA and the USSR said that they couldn't have done, despite their overwhelmingly greater number of men and materials. The war when every military expert in the world said the British just didn't stand a chance of winning. Yet win the British did. So what does that tell us?
It tells us that either the British are so amazingly brilliant at fighting, tactics and strategy, or that Argentina are terrible at fighting, tactics and strategy. Or most likely that the British are amazingly brilliant at these things, whilst Argentina is terrible at these things.
How about now? When this 'small country' has your 'large country' so sh!t scared that it has spent the last few years crawling around on it's knees 'begging' your Latin American brothers to steal the Islands for you? Or how it has begged the UN, the OAS, the Chinese, the Russians and even Iran to tell the 'big bad' British to give you someone else's land.
And what has it achieved? NOTHING. Nothing but a few empty mouthed platitudes meant to placate your insane President, whilst ALL of these countries and organisations laugh at YOUR country behind your backs. You are a laughing stock.
And if the UK is SO weak and inconsequential as you claim (despite having the 5th most powerful military in the world), what does that make Argentina?
A country that is held at bay by 4 fighter aircraft, 1 patrol vessel and about 1,000 British service personnel.

My interest in this topic is mostly academic. Most of the posting done on this chat forum, being 'anonymous' as it, is for publications research purpose and no one on this board is allowed legal counsel due to the anonymity setting. Based on the rabid throng of ill tempered rancid responses from the peanut gallery, I should write a rather acrimonious review of the proceedings and have that one published in Foreign Policy as well.

Oct 08th, 2014 - 08:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0If what you say is true, then you are certainly not studying the “Malvinas” conflict in a scholarly objective frame of mind. The impression given is that you have been seeking information either true or fabricated which will reinforce your existing prejudices. Somewhat like an “agent provocateur”
The one point that I can concede is that you certainly have a great conceit for yourself and that you believe the only opinions that have any validity are your own. As to insults from “hired trailer trash” you seem to be leading the field in this respect. Hardly what I would expect from a self proclaimed ”academic researcher, or maybe you ARE just a Troll.
You can publish whatever you like but the bottom line is that they are YOUR opinions and not necessarily the facts.
Mr. or Ms. Clyde, The Mercopress venue is based from Uruguay. Take a step back and ponder what a mainly English paper that contains mainly negative articles regarding all positions opposed to the interests of the UK are in one form or another. I have posted two opinions in the Spanish version of this online paper and have received nil response. On this venue, for not towing the English paradigm, I am villified and crucified to no end, but be it the same poster, hired or not, receive excellent responses. Anyone of these posters or even the paper or their handlers back in the UK can pay one of the IP relay stations for this address and they will get their answer. Just as the callsign is posted here states, USAF (btw - the paper changed it to US Air Force), is about all I care to divulge. Most active duty personnel that you are accustomed to dealing with probably give you some glazed eyed look if you mention the Malvina/Falkland conflict and you would have to point it out on a map to them. We really don't have a dog in this fight. Like I said before, I may get a letter of counseling for the method of local fishing of information and popular sentiment.

As my forum handle displays, I am active currently with the US Air Force and the original name was USAF, but the site moderator changed it, so I ran with it and I am from the US. I initially posted some very unbiased factual based comments early but quickly found myself in the gutter exchanging barbs with anonymous characters. None of these Argie/Brit/Spanish topics affect me one bit, unless of course, as some of these online posters suggest and seem to clamor for, armed conflict arises. Dangerous thinking, take for example WWI, some obscure part of Europe, not Paris or London or Berlin has some no name Duke assassinated and within a couple of years millions were dying in the span of a month in Belgium. It would not take much for any one of these disagreements to conflagrate. Hopefully, when all the political posturing and jockeying on the International stage has been set that these trivial items are resolved at the IJC.
Oct 08th, 2014 - 04:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Personally Ms. Fernandez has been a political populist, which in itself has been shown time and time again to fail based on economics. Argentina, much like Venezuela have a buffer to these political escapades, but she is right on her fears to have an unlikely demise. I suggest, besides Allende and Gaitan, to read between the lines, the story of Manuel Noriega and that whole fiasco. Much more to that one than meets the eye or what cable television allows you to see. Good day.

What a load of twaddle and you purport to be doing some form of research on God knows what.
You seem to believe that we are ruled by a Monarch who makes all the decisions affecting the conduct of the UK both at home and abroad and that this is a corrupt drain on the finances of the UK
Constitutional monarchies with ceremonial monarchs
Systems in which a prime minister is the active head of the executive branch of government. In some cases the prime minister is also leader of the legislature, in other cases the executive branch is clearly separated from legislature although the entire cabinet or individual ministers must step down in the case of a vote of no confidence. The head of state is a constitutional monarch who only exercises his or her powers with the consent of the government, the people or their representatives.
I have studied the grammar, syntax and vocabulary of your posts and they don't come out as American. The nearest I can place it is to one of Nostrils many nom de plumes. Also, your “secret” research into whatever you purport to be doing reminds me of Nostrils secret research which was going to threaten our existence.
I also have to ask myself WHY an US serviceman would be bothered to “investigate” something which has been discussed ad nauseum for over 30 years. There seems to be a hidden agenda in this.
Sorry, but you don't come across as a genuine US serviceman.
#271 Clyde, his biggest downfall in credibility as a US service was when he stated he was on active duty. While my active days are behind he, I had little free time and what little time I had I was selfish with it for me and hanging with my buddies.

“Rogered”-one of Dad's favourite expressions.

Remember the scene when Capt Mainwaring & Sergeant Wilson are in a café & the Captain asks Wilson where is his pistol.
When Wilson says its in the truck outside, the Captain berates him & asks what does he think that he would do if a Nazi paratrooper walked through the café door.
The sergeant mumbles & the audience laughs at the Captain.
Actually Captain Mainwaring is correct.
ln 1940 a German paratrooper could well have landed & walked through the door. And both those old soldiers would have been dead.

271- Clyde , The first armed go around in 1982 surprised many countries worldwide. Who would have thought that a third world country would displaced UK interests in an armed fashion. The same holds true today, our interest is establish scenarios that may play out. UK or at least the Malvinistas, should they really seek their own self determination and stop clinging to a European power over 12k miles away. But we both know it won't happen. In 1982, powers were aligning very quickly and ole Iron Britches was ready to send Vulcan Bombers and threatening nuclear launches against BA. A little much. The US is bound by Monroe Doctrine and the Argies were quickly acquiring interest from the FSU in the form of armaments. If you read current political posturing, countries are already aligned, and the UK is miffed with US for not picking sides.

British secret service or the propaganda arm are involved for sure to make sure that the islanders keep drinking the kool aid. In the US there were some people that referred to native American tribes routinely as troglodytes and that must have been some reference to their darker reddish skin and dark hair, it was publicized quite profusely and with disdain.

Never really had the chance 'to talk' to actual islanders. Pretty disappointed right about now. Any chance that someone from the US can actually own some of the Islands? or is that against the law?
My conclusion is that there is no actual islanders commenting here at all. There is a program made by Jorge Lanata in 2007 I believe, I was quite stunned to find out that all the authorities he got to interview there none of them were islanders but english politicians and corporation representatives. The few islanders he interviewed were youngsters who clearly stated that they have absolutely nothing against Argentina, gentle well mannered folks, nothing like these aggressive arrogant trolls we see here on these posts.
Oct 10th, 2014 - 07:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0Troy have you noticed that tobi.......I mean US Air Force has not answered one simple question on mine.......for someone that is on active duty no less.
Oct 10th, 2014 - 09:19 am - Link - Report abuse 0BTW long weekend Troy.....in Canada. Maybe you can get the faux force to answer if he is an officer or enlisted. Maybe he ignored me because he is finding he cannot google everything and it is better to just ignore me. I'm on the payroll troy........lol. Well A PAYROLL anyway.
So US Air Force,...were you on Bosnia being you with in every major operation? Nothing on Westover yet?

Ask them again in 2014
“nothing like these aggressive arrogant trolls we see here on these posts”
Pot /kettle springs to mind . Every post from YOUR side tries to denigrate the islanders....squatters, rubbish etc.

I don't know any of the posters here, I have no connection with MercoPress, no personal connection with the Falklands or the Islanders other than wishing them well.
Any chance that someone from the US can actually own some of the Islands? or is that against the law?“
You would have to ask someone versed in the law as it applies to the Falklands, I don't know.
If anyone is involved in the ”Malvinas“payroll then by default they must be Argentinian or a supporter. The only Malvanistas are the thugs in Ushaia.
” should they really seek their own self determination and stop clinging to a European power over 12k miles away“
I am sure that the Falklanders would like this but they have not a hope in Hell's chance with Argentina ready to invade as soon as the UK pulled out.
As to the British monarchy, none of your business. It will survive as long as the population wish it to.. It's as good a system as any other and although it costs the UK taxpayer money, it is miniscule in the great scheme of thing.
She does not shaft her country and hide wads of stolen cash in foreign banks like other leaders do. Now which country do I refer to ?
” the UK is miffed with US for not picking sides.”
Surprising ? The USA is always asking the UK for favours in supporting their wars but if we ask for something it's usually ..no deal.
If you are American then you certainly have Spanish as a first language.
There are certain expressions that are not in WASP usage, e.g. ayayay.
After this I was singing canta y no llores !!!!
Clyde,
Oct 10th, 2014 - 05:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This venue is extremely informal, hence the horrendous writing, if I was half way trying, I'd proof and maybe throw in some footnotes in Turubian method for you. So what is your interest in the Malvinas? Being that South America is a large place and the academic writing that I do has covered everything from Tupac Amaru, to ALBA, Bolivia and the Falkland Islands/Malvinas is why I have an interest. I can honestly say that my interest was peaked when the Active Duty Brits, the older ones that is gave me guff regarding even mentioning the word, “Malvinas”, that is what got me on this post. I am sure that the Falklanders are swell, being so far from the world to one of the farthest outposts in the South. Yours?
Humor us US Air Force/Mendocinovino/TTT......tranny boi
Oct 10th, 2014 - 06:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What is your Air Force Occupation?

Oct 10th, 2014 - 07:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I am British, and have an interest in British territory when it is threatened by a pseudo colonial power viz ARGENTINA.
Argentina is not interested in the Falklands as such. They want to acquire it to give them claims to S.Georgia, sub Antarctic isles and eventually Antarctica.
Why don't you answer C.Poppies requests for information. Refusing to do so can only raise suspicions as to your origins and motives.
re 282, USAF's post.
Oct 10th, 2014 - 08:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“swell”-well that's a word that you don't hear these days.
Pretty sure l have never heard an American say it.
Maybe they did back in the 50s?
Hey USAF, to us “malvinas” is a swear word.
We never use it. Why would we?-bad grapevines?
Yes mate, answer Captain Poppy.
We are all waiting for you to prove that you are/are not a troll.
USAF Well so much for the “specialr elationalship”
Oct 10th, 2014 - 09:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I have read about people like you you. Strong supporter of the ARA gun lobby perhaps?
You know those compatriots of yours who gun down innocent folk in cinemas or high schools?
You probabably live in Nome Alaska and if so cant you see Russia from your house? Look west old man , look west like your heroine Sarah Palin and dont concern your self about prosperous islands in the South Atlantic.
They are perfectly capable of deciding their own future.
You dont like anybody even your Canadian nieghbours.
And on that note when are you going to give Alaska back to Russia?
282 US Farce
Oct 10th, 2014 - 11:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Swell”??!!
LOL !!!!
* holds sides so as not to split a gut, laffing*
Please indulge us. Help Captain Poppy determine you are for real.
Can you describe a typical day on base?
No State Secrets, nothing revealing, just the mundane.
FOr example,
-What time do you get up?
-Who wakes you?
-Do you shower first thing, or go for a run, perhaps?
-Describe your quarters.
-what brand of toothpaste do you use?
-is it a regular retail product?
-how quickly can you make your bed, or do you have an Aide who does that?
-do they still do the “bounce the quarter” trick to test the bedding?
- where do you eat?
-what do they serve? Is there a choice? Does it vary?
- are the cooks Army, Airforce, Haliburton, local civilians?
- what are your duties in the morning?
-what clothing are you required to wear for that?
There, that's good for start.
And... easy!
Any real “Airman” could answer those things - WITHOUT breaking his oath!
