Pelosi's Quotes

While she is not the Speaker anymore as of today, she is (unbelievably) the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives. That means we have more of these lines to look forward to: America must be a light to the world, not just a missile. I think it...

Using the 507th Maint BN to Support the idea of Women in Combat

Again, another meme. First, officers leaving in droves. Now, women in the Infantry units. I don't have issues with examining women's roles in combat units. After all, since there are no real front lines in the war on terror in OIF or OEF, women...

Veterans Demand an Apology, Congresswoman!

Today has been a HORRIBLE day. We've seen an obviously unstable and deranged individual, Jared Loughner, shoot and kill innocents; we've seen a US Congresswoman declared dead, then not-dead, and we vets have been accused of being the shooter....

Living the donkey life

Marathon Pundit has a touching tale of a Man and his donkey, (you thought it was more Yon eh? heh). Couldn't resist that one, but it is actually about Marines and a donkey mascot. Bring me your huddled equines, oh just go read about Smoke the Donkey...

Australia's human mascot

He doesn't like to mention it, mostly because the koala bear coatume they make him dance around in is far too adorable. But our own Matty O' Blackfive shares a birthday with the Aussies. So give him some shite love in the comments. Happy Birthday...

Dugway Lockdown Lifted?

Interesting. Dugway Proving Grounds went on lockdown last night for a "serious concern" and and has apparently just lifted the lockdown about an hour ago. Dugway serves a number of functions, including being the site of testing related to chemical...

Douchebury on the 2nd Amendment

I realize that expecting intelligent commentary from Garry Trudeau on a hot button liberal issue is a waste of time, but his strip today is just patently offensive. His theme for the week is following armed Congressmen to their districts, which is dumb...

The Great Egyptian Dithering

Boy I'm glad we have a guy who can really restore America's standing in the world and make our foreign policy something we can be proud of again. Near as I can tell this involves sitting silenty on the sidelines as dictators and tyrannical regimes...

The Original Taps

Courtesy of LL, here is a very talented young lady playing the original version of Taps, known as "Last Post" (aka Il Silenzio). Take the time to listen to it all the way through, it is well worth doing. LW Who knows that Bugler Bob in Germany...

How many nukes do they have?

Pakistan is not so much an ally as a co-conspirator and we are only in on a small number of the conspiracies they are running. It is not even accurate to say Pakistan is not an ally, there are many competing agendas within Pakistan and we have different...

Videos from the XO, now CO, of the USS Enterprise are "Raunchy"?

This has been all over the military back channels and the media this weekend...the former XO of the USS Enterprise, Captain Owen Honors, made stupid videos for the ship's movie night back in 2006. Some of the content of the videos may be offensive...

Women in combat units- Oh! Hell! No!

The current argument over women in combat units is gonna be a long and lively scrap, so strap in. Deebow led off nicely noting the simple fact that the law of tonnage applies in combat. Women are not as big and strong as men, nor can they withstand the...

US banker arrives to discuss exceeded credit limit

Of course they will talk about some other things, but you can be certain that their ownership of America will be discussed. We have lost almost all of our ability to pressure the Chinese in any meaningful way. That means our allies in Asia, Korea, Japan...
