During World War I, the German Army was often successful in tapping the American Army’s phone lines and learning the locations of our troops and supplies. The Germans lost that advantage when the 36th Infantry Division introduced their Choctaw code talkers.
Ms. Mozelle Dawson, daughter of Albert Billy, a Choctaw warrior, and Soldier of the Texas Army National Guard, wrote in her memoirs that it was her father’s idea to use Choctaw Soldiers on the phone lines, speaking in their native dialect, to confuse the Germans.
Soon after the Choctaw Code Talkers were put on the phones, the Germans began losing. At one point, a captured German General asked, “What nationality was on the phones?”
He was told it was “only Americans” that had been on the phones.

Man oh man … logging out etc. didn’t work. Going to WP and trying My Blog from there actually made my difficulties worse, since after that I couldn’t even see Pete’s posts! But, thanks Bob for the suggestion, because it did clue me in to where the Help page is and THAT had what I needed, which was to clear all of my online stuff, not just the stuff I usually clear. So good news … I’m back in business. Back news … I have to log in to every page I routinely use cuz my computer done FORGOT everything I taught it. Oh for goodness sake, I even have to log in here. I see the form below for posting a comment in blank. And I just posted the blog! Sigh.

Well, nothing I’ve tried so far has solved my problems. I still have to log in all over again every time I try to make a comment. If this keeps up I’m gonna start thinking that WordPress just plain doesn’t like me…
