Provide For The Common Defense

Yeah, it actually says that on one of those old pieces of paper that we keep around the National Archives. It’s one of the the few things that are actually spelled out as being required by Congress to do.

This is monumentally kewl…

Unveiled on 11 NOV at Ground Zero, this statue commemorates the Special Forces Soldiers who first took the fight to the enemy in Afghanistan in 2001.

A little Buckeye love

Incredibly amazing project taking shape in Ohio, founded by high school friend Todd Reigle. He’s been teasing us all with his 11/11/11, at 11 AM EST, for weeks and couldn’t be prouder of him. Will be recording an RF3D podcast with Todd to promote Honor Ride Ohio this afternoon, so if you have any questions [...]

For The Troops, Or At Least Some Of Them…

…sorry heterosexual ladies.

If you don’t want to watch Kelly writhing around in a white bikini fast forward to about the last 45 seconds where she describes her trips overseas to visit the troops and her plans to go again…something to be appalauded.

Percentage point this, ya ungrateful OWS bums

Our friends over at Ranger Up continue to crank out great t-shirt after great t-shirt (which works out great for receiving eye-rolls from my lib-co-workers on “casual Fridays” — it’s a hobby), this time spotlighting a statistic which both embarrasses me I can’t do more, and makes me all the prouder of those men [...]

Saturday With Floyd

Pumpkin patch day at Riley’ Farm in Oak Glen, California.  That is Hawk’s Head Publick House a stone and wood beam tavern for lunch with open faced roast beef sandwiches, Stilton cheese and freshly picked green apples [updated:] and Guinness (not the kids of course — yet).

California, knows how to party … animal style

For those in SoCal (or within driving distance — burn those fuel miles, tick off the enviro-weenies, especially the private jet hypocrites), time’s running out to get your ticket(s) to the latest Republican Party Animals event, at West LA’s Spanish Kitchen 826 N. La Cienega, 90069, from 6PM to well into the early morning.

Female Body Inspectors?

It appears that Scarlett Johansson’s I-Phone got hacked (ED: hey wait a minute all you Apple groupies said that couldn’t happen) and someone posted her nude self portraits to the INTERNET. Now G-Men are hot on the case.

From Fox News

The FBI is investigating the release of nude photos allegedly hacked from Scarlett [...]

Miscalculation

I’m sorry… I like Herman Cain and I’m sure he’d be light years better than Obama… but I think this is just plain wrong. I’m sure his heart is in the right place…. but that needs a massive rethink.

And it’s not a spoof… it was released by his campaign.

To Provide For The Common Defense

This video featuring the Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, lays out our current defense situation. After seeing this short video it is easy to see how massive defense cuts aren’t really something we need to be looking at. That being said, I am all for trimming waste from the defense budget. My favorite [...]

The Gratest Generation

U.S. Army soldier patrols a Philadelphia Transit trolley car — August 6, 1944.

This Labor Day let’s revisit the great patriotic institutions known as labor unions. I know unions aren’t unalloyed evil and I realize they have done some good things for workers in the past. But let’s remove the rose-colored glasses they like [...]

10 Yeas On…

It’s been awhile since we’ve had a little Hitchens around these parts… In today’s Slate, Christopher Hitchens returns to the topic that moved him into agreement with many of us on at least one thing… the war with Islamic jihadists. Here’s a bit, go read the whole thing here:

The proper task of [...]

Next Chapter

Last April Outlaw’s friend and regular commenter Cougar67 sent me some pics of Outlaw’s “last flight” — a tradition for Army aviators on the road to retirement. Well… last week the Army and Outlaw made the arrangement official and Cougar67 again sent us a couple of pics. As he wrote me in an e-mail:

I Will Not Quit My Post Until Properly Relieved…

When every Soldier enters the US Army they learn a set of rules called the General Orders. The First General Order is: I will guard everything within the limits of my post and quit my post only when properly relieved.

The men of the Old Guard are charged with guarding among other things [...]

Well Done Soldier

Former Army Staff Sgt. Matthew Blain, 25, right, was recognized last Saturday with the “Soldier’s Medal,” for heroism not in combat for a river rescue in Afghanistan. The Orange County Register has the story:

That’s what he did when word crackled over the radio that a vehicle had flipped into the river. Blain sprinted [...]

God Bless the Man

Sure, we all have our various and respective problems with President George W. Bush, but have not one with how he reacted and immediately dealt with the attacks on 9/11. DVR set and looking forward to the National Geographic Channel’s interview with the former President next Monday, 10 PM EST/PST.

You Mean That’s ALL It Takes?

According to this CBS report…

It sounds like a pretty good deal: Retire at age 38 after 20 years of work and get a monthly pension of half your salary for the rest of your life. All you have to do is join the military.

YEAH, That’s ALL I had to do. I never [...]
