[Woodcarver] Eagle Head Project

[Byron]

WHAT!!!!!!
How insulting can things get?  
These wounded solders are not children, they're adults.  This reminds of when my kids were 10-12 years old and we had to count the M&M by color.  The solders need to be treated as adults, not children.  

What makes a carving desirable, certainly not a 100 of them that look exactly the same.  The uniqueness of each cane makes it special, not a "I got one too".  Who says what looks nice?  What looks great to one doesn't look so great to another.  Yet here we are, carvers, trying to do something nice to people are suffering on our behave, and we're being told we can't use our creativity.  This insults me and the solders.  Why not just put them on a duplicator then the carvers are just "grunt" labor.  

Sorry for the rant, well not really.
