Anybody notice that he didn't mention direction the implications for the US 
citizens, for which the Navy is supposed to be protecting?

Indeed. So, what are the ramifications for the Navy? On one hand, immediate
examples seem to be decreased operating and maintenance funds, long-term 
impact
on acquisitions and perhaps even a surge in seaborne instability, like piracy
and smuggling. On the other hand, with a global economic crunch potential peer
competitors like China and Russia would also be slowed. The possibilities seem
endless, so what say you?

I'm currently saving toilet paper roll tubes to use as 'cups'.  I also
have my family and friends saving them.   I stand them up in a tray,
fill them with soil, plant my corn-one per tube-, and water.  The tube
holds together about 2 weeks, just long enough to germinate and then
transplant each corn plant.  You can intensively plant corn easily this
way, and of course, the roll decomposes quickly and does not impede the
corn's taproot.
You can use this technique for anything that germinates with a week or
so, but you have to get it in the ground quickly because the roll does
come apart somewhere around day 16.

The true significance of Sacajawea's involvement in the Lewis & Clark
expedition is that it was the first documented trip in history where men
asked a woman for directions and followed them, allowing them to arrive
at their destination.
