Afghanistan

Floyd — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:05:43 +0000

I’m not sure what to think of this piece on Afghanistan from the Armed Forces Journal, by Lt. Col. Daniel Davis — who used to be on Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson’s staff (Drudge linked to it)…:

From Bad to Abysmal Much of what I saw during my deployment, let alone read or wrote in official [...]

That is what they want, this is what they get

Ranger Up’s awesome team, at it yet again with their latest shirt, now available for pre-order. However — and completely sucking up to Outlaw — rather they’d used an Apache firing the kill-shots.

Either:

a) We made this shirt to mock the bastardization of an inane verse in the Koran by Islamic fundamentalists to [...]

They Are Empty Vessels! I Didn’t Say Empty Your Vessels!!!!

Some Marines are in trouble for peeing on the dead bodies of some Taliban. I guess on some level I wish they hadn’t done that, but my “give a damn” just isn’t too worked about it. My main issue… why WHY did they videotape it? Good Lord that was breathtakingly dumb.

Top U.S. officials moved [...]

How Bazaar

Powerline links to a sobering story from The Investigative Project on Terrorism about a ring of used car dealerships around the U.S. in places like Tulsa, OK, and Mt. Joliet, TN with ties to Hezbollah and Mexican drug cartels….:

A Treasury designation, a criminal indictment and a civil lawsuit allege the Lebanese drug [...]

National Defense Authorization Act — A Break Down

Floyd — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 18:52:14 +0000

The Internets have been all atwitter (SWIJDT?) about the National Defense Reauthorization Act with the wilder rumors arguing that it allows Obama to detain citizens and I’ve even read where some think it could authorize hit squads. I’ve been swamped with finals and papers to post on it, so instead I’ll link to this [...]

Prison Time is Too Good

The remains of at least 274 war dead were dumped in a Virginia landfill by Air Force personnel at Dover AFB. Story at the link… prepare to be pissed and appalled.

UPDATE: Outlaw points out in the comments that the bad guys here were contractors not USAF personnel

Be Thankful For Men Like CW4 Patrick Benson

Outlaw13 — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 13:09:31 +0000

IMO, the actions described below warrant a much higher award than the Distinguished Flying Cross, but congrats to CW4 Benson and his co-pilot CW3 Adam Stead, they exemplify what it means to be an Army aviator.

From AL.com

CW4 Patrick Benson will be awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross Wednesday. In Afghanistan in 2009, he [...]

Not Good

Here’s a disturbing AP story about a recent CIA debacle in Lebanon concerning Hezbollah and other setbacks in the region:

The Lebanon crisis is the latest mishap involving CIA counterintelligence, the undermining or manipulating of the enemy’s ability to gather information. Former CIA officials have said that once-essential skill has been eroded as the agency [...]

Rest in Pieces — Mohammar GQKaddhaffiy

Floyd — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 13:13:20 +0000

Remember Gaddhafi’s untapped resources er… bodyguards? Alas, Moammar’s Angels were unable to guard his body. He was reportedly killed in Sirte. A detailed chronology of th events is at the Daily Telegraph link above including a video purported to show his body (it’s gruesome — you’ve been forewarned).

Now comes the real show in [...]
