  • George Will- We can lose both these wars

    Again we are treated to the musings of noted national security expert George Will on the art of the retreat. Oh wait, what's that you say? Will is not a national security or military expert? He is a political commentator who dabbles in baseball? Hmmm...

  • Airstrike creates Taliban firestorm

    Prep yourselves for another round of dead civilians or dead tangos. Sadly the narrative has been spun out so far towards the idea that anyone killed is called a civilian that we suffer some hearts and minds damage regardless. KUNDUZ, Afghanistan – A U...

  • Mobbing DC

    WOW! I am not going to get into a numbers game, but there were an amazing bunch of people petitioning their government for redress of grievances today. It was a great atmosphere and a lively collection of patriots. I have a video brewing and it features...

  • Packers v. Bears & Brent

    Great game underway between Matt's team and mine. Hitting, savagery, un-frozen tundra, all that is good with America. Favre in a Vikings uniform? Dead to me.

  • Two Days to 250 Years

    Arthur's Day is September 24th. In 1759, Arthur Guinness put pen to paper and signed a 9,000-year lease on the St. James's Gate Brewery, Dublin. It costs him an initial £100 with an annual rent of £45 – this crucially includes water rights. The...

  • Stolen Valor Okay In Colorado?

    Over at the Burn Pit, the follow up on the Rick Duncan case is not very encouraging...well, unless you are Captain Stolen Valor. Rick Duncan was a Marine with a compelling story to tell, and tell it he did, to anyone who would listen. A graduate of the...

  • Out Cowboy'd By the FRENCH??

    Dude. Sarkozy: “We live in the real world, not the virtual world. And the real world expects us to take decisions.” “President Obama dreams of a world without weapons … but right in front of us two countries are doing the exact opposite. “Iran since 2005...

  • Arthur was well served

    We had a good time at Mackey's last night and the consensus was that I am a genial, polite, kind, well-mannered and cordial host. The question you want to be asking is, what in the world is that piece of upholstery that Matty O' Blackfive has...

  • Blogger's Roundtable: COIN in Afghanistan

    We spoke with COL Daniel Roper, the director of the US Army and Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Center at FT Leavenworth. He has been in this role since July 2007, when the Surge was really kicking off. The Colonel is nuclear-physicist smart -- literally...

  • A Freefly on Afghanistan

    I mentioned before that the Armed Liberal was in town and that the global domination talk was in play. We shot a freefly at the restaurant attached to his hotel Art & Soul, which does trendy southern cooking brilliantly. We discussed Afghanistan and...

  • The NY Times no longer decides what's News

    For at least the second time, the NY Times has attempted to suppress the news that their reporters and staff had been kidnapped. The journalist was rescued by British forces who suffered a casualty and his interpreter was killed as well along with two...

  • Remembering Mike Stokely

    Last month Robert Stokely did what he does every year, he invites friends, family and comrades to remember his son Mike on the anniversary of the day he was killed in Iraq. This year myself, Greyhawk and Mrs. G. and our own McQ were there and enjoyed...

  • Honoring the Fallen, Helping the Wounded

    Two things to let you all hear about. First on Sept. 11th a group of soldiers is holding an event here in DC that is pretty cool. They are holding a 24 hour walk starting at midnight of the 10th through midnight of the 11th. They will be continuously...

  • DAV holds virtual march on Washington

    This sounds like something we can all get behind. WASHINGTON, Sept. 9 — The Disabled American Veterans, one of the nation’s premier veterans service organizations, will launch the first-ever “Virtual March on Washington for Veterans” next week to increase...

  • Military scarfs up protesters at G-20

    Yeah right. I don't know who pulled this stunt, but it wasn't the military. The uniforms are a soup sandwich, tey have no guns,....oh and the military doesn't freakin' do this. The usual suspects are having a lot of fun being outraged...
