  • Major troop movement through DFW for Xmas

    Reader and Soldier's Mom Val sends this. "Was on the USO/DFW Airport Facebook page -- they have 2500 that's right -- 2500 troops coming through tonight on their way home for Christmas. If you live in that area, please go out and help thank...
  • DADT repealed- We're doomed!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...
  • Safe havens? Maybe not

    As a serious supporter of a much more robust Department of Dirty Tricks, I can get all the way behind this initiative. WASHINGTON — Senior American military commanders in Afghanistan are pushing for an expanded campaign of Special Operations ground raids...
  • Kathy Champion: Closing

    Just a reminder to vote for Kathy Champion, and her charity that provides service animals to veterans who need them. She is still behind in total votes, but is closing on the leaders thanks to your support. Keep it up!
  • Book Review- "Washington- a life"

    Elise Cooper for BLACKFIVE. Ron Chernow’s book, Washington: A life is a thorough view of George Washington from birth until death. Chernow covers a wide range of issues that deal with the First President’s personal life, personality traits, military career...
  • Marine Christmas Dinner A Success

    Adapt and Overcome: A lifestyle, not a slogan. The holiday dinner for some 250 Marines and family members was enjoyed by all, though I suspect some of the children enjoyed the desserts most of all. :) The food was good, even if we did have a menu shift...
  • Missile defense: a necessary cost?

    Discussing the START treaty that right now is being considered by the Senate, the Heritage Foundation’s Conn Carroll reminds us and the Senators considering the treaty of some objective reality: Senators should keep in mind this Administration’s hostility...
  • Wikileaks leakers legal docs leaked

    I’m sorry but I find this both ironic and amusing: LAWYERS for Julian Assange have expressed anger about an alleged smear campaign against the Australian WikiLeaks founder. Incriminating police files were published in the British newspaper that has used...
  • Home for Christmas - A POW in 1969

    Via Seamus, the following story comes from the book NOT AS LEAN, NOT AS MEAN, STILL A MARINE: Even More Sea Stories: HOME FOR CHRISTMAS Nothing crushes your spirit more effectively than solitary confinement. Having no one else to rely on, to share confidences...

  • To Take a Coined Phrase....

    Liberalism is a Mental Disorder.... A special Defense Department working group appointed by Defense Secretary Robert Gates has recommended that the military should “expressly prohibit” heterosexuals from using separate showers, bathrooms and bunking facilities...
  • Best camouflage pattern

    I really don't kow what to say about this other than BITE ME! I will offer more later, but for now understand that the following video contains really hot chicks in painted on camo patterns, seriously not safe for your significant female to see. Oh...
  • DADT repealed

    The Senate voted to repeal DADT this afternoon and the bill will now go to President Obama for signature: The final vote was 65-31, with eight Republicans crossing the aisle to support the measure. The policy does not change overnight: Obama, Defense...
  • Payback is a social medevac

    Bwaa Ha Ha! Oh this is just too rich. Oh, the humiliation. Once not so long ago one of the world's top celebrities in his own right, Barack Obama and his wife Michelle did not make the cut for invitations to the royal wedding in London next spring...
  • Spirit of America in Afghanistan

    There are plenty of non-profits who do great things for our troops, but there is one that makes a powerful & direct impact to the war effort in theater, Spirit of America. They just infiltrated two operatives to help the Marines in Helmand engage...
  • Can we win in Afghanistan?

    The war in Afghanistan hardly merits more than a passing mention these days. Obama's year long review came in and basically nobody noticed. We are all too fascinated watching Congress implode. I have said for a considerable time that we couldn't...
