How Stupid Rumors Start

 Back around two months ago in the city of Wiesbaden.....a story started up over a new US Army unit which was going to be created out of thin air at the local post.

The unit?  56th Artillery Command.

Well...at the time, the local press (not the Army) came to make some suggestion that this had a connection to nukes or missiles.

So for weeks, this rumor has spun around.

Today, the US Army, via the city mayor.....said that the 56th would have no rockets or missiles in Wiesbaden, period.  

Where the rumor started?  With the local press.....I would imagine.  Maybe they assumed artillery could mean some meaning of missiles.  

The Army guys laughing over this?  Somewhere in the mix....there's probably three or four devious Lieutenants who are making up some fake missile-like rocket on the back of some boat trailer, and hauling around at night....with Christmas lights blinking on it.  That will start the next rumor.

Nah, it'll be a few members of the SP/4 mafia building a fake missile. 😆
