"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.
The SEAL Community and Fight Club
The first rule of Fight Club is that you don’t talk about Fight Club. Evidently, that is slipping a little for some in the SEAL community. No one here has weighed in on this yet, but others have elsewhere. Whether it was a night firefight and looked exactly like the last 30 minutes of Zero Dark...

Barack Obama? DAMN YOU!!!
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.
The Intricate Richard-Dance of The Mentally Insane....
I had no idea when I was young that adults were going to be this foxtrotting dumb when I grew up. It appears that the US Army has now demonstrated that they are capable, on the grandest of scales, of reaching a level of mental midgetry and political correctness that has no limit or bottom. “Th...

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.]
Godspeed Baroness Thatcher
On Facebook, I quoted Whiskey from the 11B group as the words have conintued to elude me. Jonn hits on some of it, and Aunty Brat says it all so well. Given some of the progressive and pseudo-libertarian whinging today, I can only say that no, she was not perfect; but, unlike most of the comm...

Flag Carrier Strips Flag Wearer?
Richard Branson: Heads-Up! Courtesy of Instapundit this morning, comes the sordid and despicable tale of a Royal Navy engineer -- a 15 year veteran with multiple deployments -- forced to strip out of uniform and into black pajamas by the the airline that claims to be Britain's flag carrier. ...
Thanks for this, LW...I had shared this earlier today on FB..and plan on contacting Branson and G4S (the same company that screwed up about the London Olympics)to tell them MY views on this disgraceful display of ignorance...

I seriously doubt that Harper would put up much of a barrier to his pal MIC. BUT you know by now (or you should.lol) that I'd be on the welcome committee...pom poms ablazing. Just leave any politicians north of the border, please...:)
Plans to invade Canada proceed
Or maybe you have a better explanation for this insanity. The Department of Homeland Security (through the U.S. Army Forces Command) recently retrofitted 2,717 of these ‘Mine Resistant Protected’ vehicles for service on the streets of the United States. MRAPs for DHS, what could possibly go wron...
