  • The blame game

    Herschel Smith over at Captain's Journal is also looking at the current round of armchair Generalling going on and wonder if this should be farther up the food chain. So via the AR 15-6 process, we are on another head hunt in order to exonerate decisions...
  • John Yoo: Stallion

    John Yoo. What a stallion. DOJ bureaucrats in general and the Obama administration in particular threw him as hard as they could, as often as they could, under that 1962 Volkswagen bus otherwise known as the anti-American and self-loathing Left. And he...
  • USS Franklin Reunion

    Coming across the quarterdeck is this fantastic event: The crew of the USS Franklin (CV-13) will hole their 2010 reunion from the 18th to the 21st of March in Branson, Missoura! Specifically, at the Lodge of the Ozarks. Special event: Memorial service...
  • My favorite politician

    It is fairly well known that I am not a fan of politics or politicians. I think the kind of people who infest our Parliament of Hoors are by and large low and base. Well I have been exposed to a wonderful gentleman who serves as a Member of the Euro Brothel...
  • Punching Out, Where It Counts

    Winds of Change has an important post on the subject of something very basic: having a rifle and a doctrine that can engage the enemy at the range where he is usually encountered. In Afghanistan, that's out to about six hundred meters. While the infantryman...

  • Update: 4 of the Fort Jackson 5 discharged

  • Did Pakistan back stab us w/ Taliban leader capture

    The arrest of top Taliban military commander Baradar was rightly praised and led many to tout the active help of the Pakistani Intel service (ISI) as a sign of fresh cooperation. The story was first reported by the NY Times and that was certainly the...
  • Bellavia the Statesman

    I hereby nominate David Bellavia as Amb. at Large for reminding everyone how freakin' silly they are.Germany is All: ‘Greece Pay Back Your Debt’ and Greece is All: ‘Oh Hell No, Pay Me Back for WWII First’
  • Pakistanis see the light, turn on Taliban?

    Yeah right. I did a segment on Russia Today about the recent captures of multiple Taliban leaders in Pakistan. The question was whether this was a sign that the Pakistanis were becoming more helpful in efforts against them, the answer is kinda, but they...
  • Ranger Up economic stimulus plan

    Well, it's some kinda plan. I get the feeling that Nick has a serious point in this somewhere, deep, deep in the snark. Ranger Up, the premier military apparel company in the United States, announced today that despite massive growth in 2009, wages...
  • Unmanned Aerial Vehicle / System Poll

    Infantrymen, No offense to InstaPinch, but fighter planes*, like Kelly McGillis of Top Gun fame, are now known to be gay. So are Bombers. And cargo planes exist only through the benevolence of paratroopers. And so it is that I ask you, the infantrymen...
  • The Battle of Iwo Jima: 65 years ago

    On Feb. 19, 1945, thousands of Marines landed on the beaches of Iwo Jima, the first U.S. assault on Japanese home islands. For over a month, the Marines fought an epic fight with Japanese troops before declaring the island secured on March 16, 1945. Of...
