			<link>http://soskanprogressives.yuku.com/topic/976/t/The-Federal-Infantryman-and-the-domet-flannel-issue-shirt.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ I believe that the domet flannel shirt worn and issued in very very high numbers is underrepresented at the moment in our unit .
<br>
<br>
How do we rectify this? do we believe we should?
<br>
<br>
I think it is a essential item for anyone building a federal impression that&#39;s my opinion based on research . We should be wearing issue shirts in high
numbers , ]]></description>
