  • National Memorial Day Parade

    There is a big National Memorial Day Parade in DC on Monday obviously, it is sponsored by the American Veterans Center. They asked me to see if there were any retired folks in the area who would like to ride in the parade. So if you know of any retired...

  • Memorial Day - They Sacrificed their tomorrows for us

    "If our eyes grow dull, other hands slack, and other hearts cold in the solemn trust, ours shall keep it well as long as the light and warmth of life remain to us." - General Orders No.11, WASHINGTON, D.C., May 5, 1868, Headquarters, Grand Army...

  • Yawn

    Yes I am aware Mr. Yon is still flinging poo, no need to send me more links. I have better things to do than indulge his paranoia. It is sad when he links to the tinfoil hat crowd to try and discredit me and the other folks here. Hopefully he will move...

  • Talking DADT on Rachel Maddow's show

    JD and I did our stint discussing the repeal of DADT and it seemed to go quite well. We got a bit less time than they hoped because of the oil debacle, but I think the discussion covered the points I wanted at least. Plus I made her laugh when I mentioned...

  • The Battle of Another Gun...

    Let me start out this post by just saying this. Never, not once, dirty, clean, dusty, snowy, muddy, wet or dry did my M-4 fail to go "BOOM" when I pressed the "BOOM" switch. It never jammed, double fed, stove piped or just went "CLICK...

  • Rules of Engagement and Weapon Status

    First of all, the R.O.E. in Afghanistan is not new. This is not something that has never worked. It is not something that Obama's team foisted on anyone. It's been around for years, and don't take my word for it... Over at the Mudville Gazette...

  • On TV and you won't believe where

    This should be fun, I am appearing on Rachel Maddow's show on MSNBC tonight along w/ JD Johannes to discuss support for repeal of DADT and asking for Congress to chill until the military completes its study. Yes you read that correctly MSNBC, which...

  • Last Missions

    Seven years ago today, Memorial Day 2003, my friend gave his life to save his soldiers. At 715am - the approximate time that he was killed - I was at his grave in New Berlin, Wisconsin to say thank you. I left this note... Brother, after seven years,...

  • Michael Yon and the cards he has dealt

    Mike Yon has apparently taken some time in Thailand to address what I wrote about his exit from Afghanistan. Though I am working on Afghanistan dispatches, during breaks over the next days I will address some those who took part in the blog lynch mob...

  • Korea heats up

    South Korea has determined its ship, the Cheonan, was torpedoed by a North Korean submarine. 46 South Korean sailors died. In most people's minds, that was an overt act of war. Yesterday, NoKo severed all ties with South Korea. Of course, technically...

  • Taliban Ambush

    Recieved this from a Marine Corps Times reporter. Gentlemen, Good morning. I'm currently downrange for Marine Corps Times with 3/6 in and around northern Marjah, and have been so since the beginning of May. Monday night, we went out with a patrol...

  • American exceptionalism on the battlefield

    Lt. Col. Oliver North reminds us why American fighting man (or woman) is the best the world has to offer. Ever heard of a Hamas/Taliban/al Qaeda/Hizballah fighter treat a wounded enemy soldier, then carry him from the battlefield? If they do grab one...

  • Saving our troops or saving animals

    I know this is not going to sit well with some of you and I understand. I think it is important enough that I will ask you tolerance and if not your support, at least your acquiescence. We use animals to train Special Forces medics and many of our line...

    Image of the Day: Run through the jungle Korea: N.Korea cuts ties with S.Korea, raises war rhetoric N.Korean leader to army: Prepare for war Obama tells military to prepare for N.Korean military aggression UN chief condemns torpedo attack, expects response...

  • More Presidential Douchebaggery....

    This CINC just keeps giving the love... Next week, after a long Memorial Day weekend at their other home in Chicago, the Obamas will return to the White House and the Banghra will give way in the East Room to the music of Paul McCartney. Lose the map...
