Hey, What's It Like To Be In A Rifle Platoon These Days?

An interesting study. COL David Maxwell, retired, comments: What Paratroopers take to work every day. So much lightweight gear (emphasis on so much!). In all seriousness however, this excerpt from chart 21 is troubling: •Force cap has reduced the size...

Need a poll boost, leak a state secret

Rosanne Barrwhy are celebrities so steeped in ignorance so seemingly proud of it?

For the most part, I’m simply not a “hater”. I try not to allow certain types of people to get into my head. But there are certainly people I dislike for various reasons. For instance in my house we don’t say the “F” word. That would be Fon** as in Jane...

The political tools who run our national security

Well I guess technically Valerie Jarrett works for Obama, but he sure seems to jump (or freeze) when she says as McQ notes in the previous story. This is not the first time I have heard very credible evidence that Obama was outsourcing decision-making...
