    Kanani Fong is jumping onto a project that Tim Lynch from Free range International has been working on to provide WiFi service to as many Afghans as possible. She has a post up detailing this and how everyone can play. I am tired. It is dead late at night...

  • An open letter to Gen. McChrystal ref. ROE

    I just sent the following correspondence to Gen. McChrystal and his Public Affairs officer. I believe he should reaffirm to all members of his command that, consistent w/ the ROE, legitimate calls for fire support must be granted. Dear Gen. McChrystal...

  • LDI on a "Bright Leash"

    The Guardian (UK) has noticed the Army's love of reflector belts. So clandestine are the units formed to protect villages in a critical valley in southern Afghanistan that US officials and special forces commanders in Kabul refuse to discuss them...

  • Intel turf wars

    There is always a lot of jockeying for prominence in the intel world. Sadly it means that our overall ability to know what is actually going on anywhere sucks Hoover (the vacuum, not the cross-dressing, turf-protecting FBI guy). There have been some recent...

    The Ranger Up guys are branching out into the under-served smart ass video market. Here is their fighter Jorge Rivera explaining his image problems going into his fight against Nate Quarry. You can get the Jorge Rivera Conquistador shirt here.

  • Blackfive, Uncle Jimbo and Laughing Wolf Invade a Foreign Land

    We're heading to the great state of Texas (San Antonio) to have a Soldiers Angels BBQ with some wounded troops for the Soldiers Angels Salute and Celebration. I think we are chaperoning the guys from Ranger Up (well, Jimbo too). There's a few...

  • In which the Uber Pig learns some new slang

    Too funny: Clarke says that Massa's roommate, Tom Maxfield, was also assaulted. "Tom lived on upper bunk," Clarke say. "When you're on ship, you're almost exhausted 24-7. So a lot of times you sleep with your uniform on. Tom...

  • Rebecca Cusey reviews "Green Zone"

    Rebecca Cusey reviews Matt Damon's Green Zone: This film will appeal to people who hold Bush responsible for everything from masterminding 9/11 to their grandmother's halitosis. It offers up a neat, easy explanation for why we did not find WMDs...

  • The Gunny speaks

    Military Times recently interviewed R. Lee Ermey, combat veteran of Vietnam and Drill Instructor extraordinaire, on important subjects such as Don't Ask Don't Tell, rules of engagement, tattoos, and stationary. A couple of excerpts (emphasis mine...

  • In the Crosshairs- Team America

    Just like clockwork, Hollywood makes a hate America movie and America hates it. I guess they just have money to throw away. They need to make House to House into a movie. Matty reminded me that I failed to add a content warning to the last vid, so be...
