While watching yet another DVD about the Normandy invasion I learned of this rather dubious titled group. Most of us were already well aware that Hitler was forced to reduce fitness requirements during the latter part of WWII, but did you know that there was a group of middle-aged men with various stomach ailments that were known as "The Stomach Brigade?"
..well, neither did I, but being a middle-aged man that would fit that category they now have my sympathy! (not really, folks!) I will turn 55 next month and Tagamet has been part of my daily diet for years now...I couldn't really imagine myself on the frontline now, so let's hope out own military never gets that desperate!
