  • DADT repealed- We're doomed!

    Cassy Fiano has an excellent piece up over at Hot Air bout the unwarrantd hysterics about this repeal destroying the military. She has a pretty good insight on the subject being the wife of a Marine infantryman. Obviously, I am not a fan of repealing...

  • Marine Christmas Dinner A Success

  • Payback is a social medevac
