I borrowed the title for this post from a book called ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN, an account of the first years in America of George Papashvily. It was his chapter about the United States military in favorable contrast to the Czar’s Army.

Yesterday’s post also involved the American military, but I felt there was more to say.

Long ago Robert Heinlein was invited to contribute to a radio program called “This I Believe.” His radio address may be found in EXPANDED UNIVERSE and also in GRUMBLES FROM THE GRAVE, and an audio may be found on the Internet if you look well enough. Quoth Heinlein, among many other things: “I believe in Rodger Young.”

Here’s a link to find out why: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodger_Wilton_Young
