When I was a young boy I lived in a town called Ellenburg in upstate New York. Way upstate New York, northwest of Plattsburgh for God’s sake, so close to the Canadian border that when my friends and I played army we used to attack our northern neighbor.

For sure, the citizens of the Great White North could sleep easily at night despite our imitation of Marvel Comics’ Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos.
