General Quarters

Sorry for the absence.  I’ve been in night school, pursuing an MBA.
In the meantime, happy birthday to me:

I suck at embedding YouTube video, so here’s the link instead.

Take 4 minutes and change out of your day.  Remember.  NEVER FORGET, and NEVER rest until AQ suffers the same fate as the Spartacan rebels.

Iowahawk has penned the funniest thing I’ve seen online since “Smoove B” at The Onion. Read and try not to laugh. I dare you.
It involves AMaZ, the Zarker himself, and the Zarker’s shorn scrote. What’s cooler than eskimo dung is how he’s blogging from hell itself.

Not having Tony Snow on board earlier. McLellan let the inmates run the asylum. It’s good to see Mr. Snow reining in the moonbats of the DC press corps.
Q Let me ask you this, because I suppose another way of looking at this is if somebody hadn’t flipped, if somebody […]

You’re a sub-human piece of garbage.  Check that.  You WERE a sub-human piece of garbage.  Now, bitch, you’re dog food.  You’re no more than detritus.  Good riddance, you scum-bucket.

Your successor - I hope his rule is a short and fitful one.

It’s a Battlefield (by EA) compilation, but, it’s genius!

Simply put, the finest stage talent the Marine Corps has EVER produced!
Note: (elgato here) My apologies for the comments getting stuck in Spamcatcher. I’ve gone through them and cleared them all for posting. I apologize for the delay and I apologize if I inadvertently deleted any. I’ll monitor Spamcatcher a bit more closely.

after having a long talk with my pal Tony.
Timing is everything, isn’t it?
Here’s the letter I am sending back to the RNC, on their nickel.
Dear Ken (or whomever is reading this):
Consider yourselves served formally with notice that I (and a great many others) are either staying home in November, or voting for Democrats **OUT OF […]

We don’t need another goddamned martyr.
The sadist in me is enjoying, no, savoring, the idea that he’s gonna spend a lifetime in a little concrete room, with no windows. His skylight will be semi-transparent. Just ambient light, that’s all.
He’s gonna shuffle around in irons. He’s gonna be bossed around. He’s gonna […]

OPFOR has a list up of their wishes for goodies from DARPA.  It’s good, but I have my thoughts:

1. Better Body Armor: The IBA has a pretty good track record- but what if body armor 10 years from now weighed 10 pounds instead of 40 and provided better protection? Perhaps some polymer can be invented […]

The old saying goes something like: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
And that torpedo the Iranians were going to use to sweep us from the PG?
It’s real, and it’s fast, but it’s not too useful. ‘Sposed to be easy to defeat.
Who says?
This guy.
Perhaps one good proof of this is […]

Well, she has finallly DONE IT. The B***H has been caught in an outright LIE about how her son’s remains were handled.
Word press is dorked up right now, so copy / paste this link:

She truly has NO decency.
ETA: She has shown that her son’s death is a prop for her. Casey’s death […]

In case you had not heard, the Officers’ Club is now OpFor.  One of their guys studied the Arab world while at VMI, he seems to really know the region.

He has a chilling piece on Iran / nukes and the Shiite worldview.  Short version: if they get nuclear weps, whole regions will die.  It’s probably […]

I have been VERY displeased with the Rs of late. VERY displeased. But the Ds are truly the gift that keeps on giving. They have a National Defense Plan!
Item numero uno - GO AFTER OSAMA BIN LADEN! Well golly geepers Sargunt Cartur!!!!!! You’re now, as has been claimed, “the party […]

1) Abdul Rahman - I understand the “charges” have been dropped. Now, if the Afghan Govt. will cement the idea that you do not kill Christian converts, pperhaps all our blood spilt there WON’T have been in vain.
2) The lefties have created the “progressive” Quadrennial Defense Review. They propose to restore US Military […]

If you’re a long time reader or know me, then you know that 2 friends of mine have a book out called Shattered Sword.
It got reviewed in this month’s Naval History magazine.

The review is VERY laudatory, as well it should be. The book has been presented formally in a symposium at the Naval War […]

Dead soldier’s home vandalized in Indiana.
Kokomo, February 27 - For the family who lives in a modest home in Kokomo, the fatal Iraq attack came last week.
Then the attack at home followed.
Vandals defaced the home of Sgt. Rickey Jones’ family. Eggs were thrown […]

Mike Yon had this dispatch written, regarding a charity program that gives wheelchairs to Iraqi children.
{RANT WARNING}
That the goddamned media can make time to cover Cheney’s hunting trip AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN, but ignores THIS, well, to hell with you, you worthless fools. You’re as useful as a 3rd nipple. Tell you […]

I know of a few "libs" in the armed forces.  They are openly critical, bordering on disrespectful, of the President and the GWOT (the usual WMDs / dumbya / etc).  However, they seem to do their jobs, which in the private sector is all that matters.

However - it seems to me that in the Armed […]

I like the idea!
1) Japan is a solid ally.
2) Japan needs the long range, stand-off, stealth, and multi-target engagement it offers where China is concerned.
3) This is a platform that needs to be produced, since the Congress anf the AF dumbed down their numbers fro 700 to just over 100.
