Let’s get right to it, shall we? Lt.General Charles Jacobi, commander at Ft. Lewis, is a self-aggrandizing asshat. There, now nobody can accuse me of subtlety. Why am I now ragging on the three star general formerly best known for glossing over detainee issues in his investigation in Afghanistan?
Because while the Army is […]
Here are the names released of those killed in Iraq or Afghanistan from the first quarter until full moon this month. My profoundest sympathies to their loved ones.
Pvt. Eugene D. M. Kanakaole, 19, of Maui, Hawaii,-Army - Iraq -non-combat incident
Sgt. 1st Class Gerard M. Reed, 40, of Jacksonville Beach, Fla., - Army - Iraq - […]
Over at WTF is it now? they are on a roll. I always start my blog reading with Maru and pals because it starts my daily engine of pissativity right. So today is no exception and what I read there bears repeating….so yes, by all means knock over to the blogroll and […]
Fathers, it is your day. This means I am canceling plans for the yard work I had planned for myself today. Because the man in my life will insist on working with me at it if I do it.
To not let him in on the plot, I will transplant a “takes two people” houseplant and […]
Don’t know how I missed blog-rolling a favorite read for SO long. And I think this self-titled misfit is an excellent fit. I mean, pointy boots up deserving butts ALWAYS fit…right?
One imagines John McCain will be tripping over his own tongue trying to bite back those words, don’t you think? I posted earlier in the year, asking why on earth any veteran would vote for McCain, since he has a lousy record in matters that mean the most to former service members.
Now, I have to […]
An enduring memory of my late teen years was the unstated antipathy my mother held for one of her older sisters. Her sister had draft age sons, and it was the middle of the Viet Nam War years. My mother held, with Bobby Kennedy, the idea that it was wrong for kids whose parents could […]
Well, that is what the widow said, anyway. When Maj. Lance Waldorf went to a cemetery with his will, his note, and his side-arm and shot himself to death, his widow, Lana, attributed it to the peace of heaven speaking more clearly to him than the pain he was living with after two tours […]
As (too) usual, the list of names released since New Moon, for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan:

Spc. Quincy J. Green, 26, of El Paso, Texas, - Army -Iraq - non-combat incident
Pfc. Joshua E. Waltenbaugh, 19, of Ford […]
Just a final word (I do so hope) on Hillary Clinton’s campaign. I can’t really refrain because the rumble and complaint goes on and on and on. Even the very good analysis of where things went wrong for her point out that some of the problem came from the perception of her tactics being racist […]
