Well you are a man with a mission, shame all your facts are wrong and your assumptions mistaken.
I have never read such drivel, if you want to discuss the facts give someone a ring instead of making it all up. Claude ray fell from a ladder outside a hut, the swiss military soldiers were not guided by UIAGM guides but military ones...too name a few of your mistakes.
