"This Ain't Hell" Has been Working Hard this weekend
First, one of our friend's sons popped in the media (while under fire in Afghanistan). Go check it out and put the sergeant on your prayer list. Second, General Ballduster McSoulPatch is back in the news. Third, the "Rock of the Marne!"...

Navy SEAL Memorial will soon be a reality
Reader Lisa sends this reminder about the upcoming dedication of the UDT SEAL Memorial: I found an old notice on Black Five asking people to support the UDT SEAL Memorial. Since that posting back in 2008, the Memorial has become a reality. The dedication...

Post 9/11 GI Bill Transferability
Just a quick head's up to those out there who may be thinking of transferring any Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits to a spouse or your kids. I looked into it a few weeks ago and found out a pretty important little detail - you can only do it if you are...

Who Wanted to Kill the Pope?
So, six people were arrested in an alleged plot to kill the Pope while he's in the UK. Why would they do that? The only identifying factors in the first four paragraphs are the ages of the men arrested -- which, at 26 to 50, is not very helpful in...

What Would Deebow Do?
I know that most of you don't go around asking yourself this, but I have been in a quandary over what I would do, at this time, about a question that truly vexes me. And here it is, would you accept the nation highest honor from this man? We have...

Some quality professional academic hatin'
This guy is beautiful. He is a perfect caricature of all the morally-superior (in their minds) left wing buttheads who make our universities such jokes. The vast majority of 9/11 observances in this country cannot be seen as politically neutral events...

Response to "Academic Professional" Hating on the Military
RE: Some Quality Professional Academic Hatin' David Green, an Academic Professional, had some words about an event he witnessed at an Illinois football game. The link above has the rant, but to refresh your memory of Mr. Green's rant:...The observance...

Defend Arlington
So I was at Arlington last week to lay wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns for Soldiers' Angels. With SA, on our way out, I told the group I needed some alone time to visit someone. You can see me (below) taking the photo in the reflection of the tombstone...

Don't mess with the Gurkhas
That is my takeaway from this tale, although unsurprisingly the authorities have a more horrified view. Just picture the scene as a soldier returns from hunting an arch-enemy. Commanding officer: 'Did you get him?' Soldier: 'Yes, sir.'...

Will the Real Colbert Please Stand Up?
Okay, I've got a soft spot for anyone who would call Gen. Odierno "Shrek" to his face, and get his head shaved by said general. I also know that he has helped out troop support charities, such as ReMind. In fact, he's been a good supporter...

Can California make Boxer Maam again?
Cassandra, over at Villainous Company, does a wicked takedown of one of my “favorite” politicians, Babs “call me Senator” Boxer. She makes the point that Boxer’s new found love for the military is most likely election year temporary: Boxer began her political...

Three Mets are Pathetic individuals
From a milblogger (and Mets fan), we get this pathetic story: Three Blind Mets It seems the Mets’ bottom line has trap doors. It is a writer’s job to arrange context, but some things are almost beyond words. According to the New York Post, three members...
