Bobo sends us a link to the Army Times<\/a> which announces that the Army has canceled this year’s tour of Soldiers Show, a Broadway-style performance group that has been around since 1983, according to the Times.<\/p>\n

\u201cA few days ago, I was still in the process of writing the show, after the auditions,\u201d said Victor Hurtado, the show\u2019s artistic director who would\u2019ve entered his 30th year with the performance. \u201cEvery single person involved with this performance knew it was about way more than the singing and dancing. It\u2019s about helping and moving people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rob Dozier, spokesman for Army Installation Management Command, said the command had “no official statement” on the show and would not answer questions regarding the decision.<\/p>\n

Hurtado said he received no detailed reason for the cancellation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Really? You need an explanation? How about budget cuts which cut everything that doesn’t help folks prepare to pull triggers?<\/p>\n

I’ll admit that I’m not a big fan of these shows. Mostly they cut into my sparse training time with no discernible benefit. But then, so did the NCOA car insurance sales men who convinced the sergeant major that his talks were compatible with “Sergeants’ Time” training schedules.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
