  • 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...
  • Bagram detainees denied habeas

    Sweet. Some good news for our security, and the pleasant prospect of some heads exploding all over the left. What a great Friday so far. From the NYT. WASHINGTON — A federal appeals court ruled on Friday that prisoners being held without trial in Afghanistan...
  • Old myths about Vietnam resurface

    In the wake of the Richard Blumenthal nonsense, Larry Pressler, former Republican senator from SD and a Vietnam vet writes a pretty good indictment of the deferment generation Blumenthal represents and how their thinking about war in general evolved from...

  • 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...
  • Speaking of Phony Soldiers

    This Ain't Hell is all over them this week like (insert your own comparison here). Just go there and scroll...
  • CNAS reports on Obama Admin Engagement policy

    I often call CNAS the Obama team's home think tank and this report is a great example of why. It is a look at the appeasement engagement that has been done so far and It's called: America’s Extended Hand: Assessing the Obama Administration’s Global...
  • Follow the lie

    CV has a good piece on different ideas about characterizing the service of wartime and war era vets. He is a thoughtful guy, and aside from that character flaw he brings up a number of things around this topic. He also mentions a story of one of the extremely...
  • $100K reward for Mojave Cross

    Let's get the word out! An anonymous veteran (silver star recipient) has offered a $100,000 reward to locate the criminals who stole the Mojave Cross. The donation was announced by Family Security Matters - for whom I am a contributing editor. From...
  • Compare and contrast

    The US way of handling pirates: A federal judge has postponed the U.S. trial of six Somali nationals charged with piracy off the coast of Africa to give both sides more time to prepare. U.S. District Judge Raymond A. Jackson on Thursday pushed back the...
  • Muslim Hottie wins Miss USA

    OK the only part of the title that matters is hottie. She is smokin' and since she has been parading around in public in a bikini, isn't that a good example and a knee to the nads of those burqa promoting wankers? More bikinis, fewer burqas. Muslim...
  • Michael Caine on how to save England

    Michael Caine has a new movie out called Harry Brown about a crusty old Brit who has had enough of the drugged-out violence and starts whacking bad guys. Unsurprisingly he has caught a fair ration of shite about that from the same weak-kneed, spineless...
  • 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...
  • NY Times still telling our enemies our business

    It seems like I write this same piece every couple of months and sadly it's true. Once again the NY Times is announcing a covert program to the world. The problem for us and anyone actually interested in vigorously prosecuting the overseas contingency...
  • 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...
