...to standards? And pride? Much less leadership? From the WaPo: Secret Service agents on Obama detail sent home from Netherlands after night of drinking I don't really blame Obama on this (though he could fix it pretty quickly, should he want to exercise himself on it) - this is squarely on the shoulders of the leadership of the Secret Service. Who clearly have not cleaned up from the Colombia fiasco. Over on Facebook, someone basically said this was just Bush's fault - the SS developed...

Wheeee! This should be fun!

Ooo. Let's toss this grenade into the living room! Is the Air Force Really Necessary? I can't wait for the sequel: Is the USMC really necessary?

Facepalm. No, wait...

John Kerry to Russia: " You Lost the Cold War, Get Over it. " So, Putin is declaring a new one. This isn't hard. Germany lost WWI. Didn't stop 'em from starting WWII... The Secretary of State has no sense of history. One would think that is a serious weakness in a Secretary of State. Easy trash-talking bon mots of laughable accuracy backed by feckless posturing do not a foreign policy make. Ask Jimmy Carter.

Ah, I love a coordinated IO campaign.

Too bad the DoD doesn't have one. From the inbox, "A Message about Army Knowledge Online from LTG Howard B. Bromberg" Who wishes me to know: "As you likely have heard, the Army is making significant changes to Army Knowledge Online (AKO). While this effort is extremely important to improving the security of the Army's network and information, we understand that this decision impacts retired Soldiers, surviving spouses and family members.

Lions, and bears, and paper tigers, Oh My!

I'm not with Jonn Lilyea on this one. I do think we should put ground forces into Poland, and continue things like the exercises in Romania. I would note that NATO forces have more recent and perhaps extensive, combat experience than the Russians, have much better logistics, and would be operating on an internal logistics trail, vice pushing one across hostile territory. And I'll put the USAF up against Russian aviation pretty much any day of the week. Just because Putin has played this well...

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose...

U.S. Army artillerymen with 3rd Battalion, 319th Airborne Field Artillery Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, clear the new all-digital M119A3 105 mm lightweight howitzer at Fort Bragg, N.C., April 19, 2013. MARY KATZENBERGER/U.S. ARMY Usetabe, we had an organization that essentially provided a brigade of artillery for every brigade of committed maneuver. Not so any more. We've developed precision munitions - needed, and great for LIC-style combat, but we've given away...

Little vortexes in history...

On this day in 1946, Cadet Captain Timothy Donovan, (aka the Auld Soldier) presented his saber in salute to Sir Winston Churchill, as the Missouri Military Academy of Mexico, Missouri, provided the Honor Guard (Cadet Captain Donovan, commanding) for Winnie's now-famous "Iron Curtain" speech at Westminster College, Fulton, Missouri. I still have that saber.

It still looks like R2D2 with a woody. MEDITERRANEAN SEA (March 17, 2014) The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Donald Cook (DDG 75) fires its close-in weapons system during a live-fire exercise. Donald Cook, the first of four Arleigh Burke-class destroyers to be forward-deployed to Rota, Spain, is serving on a scheduled patrol to the U.S. 6th Fleet area of responsibility as part of the president's phased adaptive approach to European ballistic missile defense.

It's magically delicious!

Ah, Senator Lee of California. No wonder he was authoring ever-stricter gun control legislation. He was clearing the decks of competition. Ya can't make this stuff up. *Not* the Onion, but the San Jose Mercury News: State Sen. Leland Yee indicted on arms trafficking, corruption charges.
