(from Wikipedia)
Camp Adair was named for Henry Rodney Adair, who was a native of Astoria, Oregon and a member of a prominent Oregon pioneer family.[1] After graduating from West Point, he became a cavalry lieutenant.[1] He was killed during the Pancho Villa Expedition at the Battle of Carrizal on June 21, 1916.[1]

The 57,159-acre (231.31 km2)[2] site was built during 1942–1943[1] as a World War II division training and cantonment camp, and had temporary quarters for 2,133 officers and 37,081 enlisted personnel.[2] Although the site was dedicated as "Camp Adair" on September 4, 1943, it had been occupied by troops before that date.[1] Camp Adair post office operated from 1942–1946.[1]

From 1944–1946-07-23,[3] Camp Adair served as a prisoner-of-war camp, housing German and Italian POWs.[4][5]

Camp Adair was a major WWII training area back in the day. im sure that the elders in the area can confirm this and the county museum should have documents about it.

I think you mean Afghan, that is the correct spelling. I can understand if you can't spell it. Spend a year there to liberate a nation and do something greater than yourself instead of complaing about no known subject and you may be able to spell it as well.

I stand behind McChrystal, he was serve a s#!t sandwich and is trying to make it taste good while our joke of a commander in chief does not support him nor have any interest in winning the fight in Afghanistan. my belief has always been that a president should be required a high ranking position in the military before being in charge of the greatest military on the planet. not to mention be born in the US. Obama is the worst joke to the United States, and to think that his military strategy superceeds a four star is dumbfounding. yes i agree that McCrystal should have spoke respectivley about the President or just whatched his tounge, he might just have a clue how the military works. Obama will run this country in to the ground very shortly. vote Colin Powell in 2012.

Is ther erally a problem when the shoe is on the other foot? The people in the picture didn't look a lot like racist anti americans to me. They look more like mothers from the PTA.
