I'm going to point out what was certainly a case of one of your brain neurons misfiring, friend (because I know you know better). At that time---and I waited until the issue in which that story appeared was identified, to be sure---Diana Prince was a first lieutenant in the U.S. Army.

Thanks a heap for embarrassing me before the entire board!

This wasn't a brief neuron misfire. It was a long-held misconception. I would have bet everything in Final Jeopardy on the answer/question being the U.S. Navy. I was certain. I was definite. I was wrong.

On a more cheerful note, early in you recap of "Decoy Missions of the Justice League" I decided to stop and get out the actual story to read. It was an odd sensation. It brought back the old excitement I used to feel reading a JLA story. The plot was so convoluted, I used to think it was my teen-age brain that just couldn't keep up with events. Now I'm seeing it with an old man's eyes, and I realize that most of it is just plain confusing. And, unfortunately, this was one of the better tales to come out of DC at the time.
