"I want that guy or guys to STFU about what went down in that OP. " That. Yes, I believe the Mouth In Chief opened the door to talking about OPs that should NEVER be publicly discussed, but does it mean we should follow through that door? No.

Late Monday, a series of pictures hit social media, of a group of Military 'trainees' displaying for all the world to see, their utter contempt for the Fallen Heroes of America.

While KSM et al continue to 'suffer' such horrible conditions, the President of the United States continues to release residents. The pre-trial motions are crawling along, and this week, the Military Commission is in... Continue reading

This is the document that clearly authorizes what the Federal government is allowed to do, what authorities and responsibilities the separate entities of the Government have. It is what Our Troops swear to defend and what our politicians and judges have sworn to uphold: We the People of the United... Continue reading

I am sorry, but let me be clear: What you have done to our precious Fallen Heroes (and their families) of our Military, has crossed MY 'red line'. For your betrayal of that most sacred trust we all must hold with them, YOU are not fit to hold the highest... Continue reading

“Blessed be the Lord my Strength, who teaches my hands to war, and my fingers to fight.” Psalm 144:1 Sgt Eddie Jeffers' favourite verse. (Died September 2007 in Iraq...) THIS that you write of here, makes a mockery of all our American Fallen Heroes.

One of my all time favourite Falkland Islands /Military videos is Dire Straits Brothers In Arms.. http://youtu.be/FvE97zz5loc On the Falklands issue, I am sure you all know that in a recent referendum of the Falkland Islanders, an overwhelming majority (high 90's) voted to remain British..I'd say that vindicates Mrs Thatcher's defence of the Islands. Love her or hate her (even from ignorance as john whosit shows below - especially as he claims all Irish hate her - he obviously doesn't know the Irish I know...lol) nobody could ever doubt her passion for her country..Would be wonderful if even those who purport to hate her could at least accord a modicum of decency on her passing.But yeah, pigs will fly. [AB who also goes by TankerBrosBrat...these sign ins are so damn confusing some days.]
