Sir, given your history and the fact that you do not shirk from the difficult, I respectfully ask the following.

Would you comment on the near impossible conundrum faced by all military men when they must weigh what they believe is an unlawful order. I say this knowing that the burden that this imposes must make for some excruciating moments in a military person's life.

Let me follow that question up by asking, what do you believe happened at Abu Ghraib? Was there a breakdown in the chain of command or was this something which was tacitly allowed to happen? How could our troops engage in many of these acts without understanding that they had crossed an ethical line?

At the risk of wearing out my welcome, how do you feel about the rise of the mercenary, contract military and do you believe that this might present a threat to our continued freedoms?

Thank you.

We spray ours with 70% Isopropol alcohol and let it dry for a few minutes. Unfortunately Isopropol alcohol is getting difficult yo buy.

Following up on that last question, should buildings which see a steady trafficking of people be doing more to ensure they are getting multiple daily air exchanges? Should we be looking to mandate better HVAC systems in these facilities, possibly including HEPA filters or possibly ionizing the air.

This study seems to indicate this might be part of a good solution moving forward.

My question has to do with suspended micro-droplets carrying viral particles in the air and also reaches into the idea of aerosol transmission.

It’s my understanding that in indoor situations these micro-droplets remain suspended in the air for as long as an hour after being shed. However, aerosol dispersion is reported to last somewhere between four to six hours.

Would it make sense to schedule shopping trips as early in the day as possible to take advantage of what may be considered less infectious air?

We're headed out to a beautiful campground on Sunday. The place is almost empty for three days. They require online reservations so we can see that we won't have very much company.

We'll be able to fish, swim, hike, and just enjoy the outdoors in a breathtaking spot reasonably inexpensively and safely. It's a good situation.
