Investigators have detected radiation in a former nuclear we

Post by Buzz »

More buried secrets coming to light.

""The investigation was triggered by a call from a man who worked at Fort Bliss in the 1950s when it was operated by the Air Force. He told post leaders that contaminated residue such as rags and other items had been buried in sealed containers there and expressed concerns that any new housing at the sprawling military post could dig up the contamination.""

The way I became a Ranger and have earned the small amount of success I have had in life has been mostly due to one quality - determination. Lefty.
