Re: After 100 Years, Are The Boy Scouts Still Relevant?

Some of the most notable men who ever lived in this country were Boy Scouts/Eagle Scouts: Hank Aaron, Nolan Ryan, and President John F. Kennedy just to name a few.

Iraq Redux

Well, it's Vietnam all over. We lost 4200 warriors with thousands more wounded and spent a trillion dollars so all the totalitarian rabble could move over from Syria (where they really weren't having much luck) so they could beat the crap out of Iraq instead. I agree that air strikes are in order......

Re: "I just f**# shot myself!"

Sigh. And with all the slang and abbreviated web/text speak these days, any of us alive today probably wouldn't recognize our language in a hundred years.

BTW troops, I'll never CONCUR with "concure". When the latter makes it into any legitimate dictionary, let me know.

Re: "I just f**# shot myself!"

Could not make this shit up! concure! Jim, I'm not such a language prig that I've ever corrected anybody's English grammar around here...until today, but over the past 10 years I must have seen you misspell "concur" at least a thousand times. There is no "e" in "concur"...

Re: The Boys of Point du Hoc

They were great heroes one and all. There was a good film on the History Channel last week about the D-Day invasion. They mentioned a historical anecdote I was unaware of: Eisenhower prepared a press release/radio speech that apologized to the allied world for the failure of the D-Day invasion. Befo...

Great story. But how do you survive 12 hours in the South China Sea with no flotation device? This guy must be Superman.

Re: History repeating itself

But wait, this is the same regime that Obama and his alligator-tear sympaticos now regard as the legitimate government of Ukraine, right? I wonder how Obama would regard thousands of protestors assembling at the White House, while murdering dozens of Secret Service agents, then finally kicking his a...

Re: All Things Military-This Will Boggle Your Mind

A Norman Rockwell painting broke auction records this past December, selling for $46 million. That's the most ever paid for an American painting sold at auction. I'll bet the army archives has dozens of Rockwells.

Re: US Army War College considers removing Confederate portr

I especially like this qoute from the Allen West link above: "If there were a portrait of Nathan Bedford Forest, I would have a different assessment, since he was instrumental — along with Democrats, lest we forget — in establishing the Ku Klux Klan." Read more at http://allenbwest.com/201...

He almost whipped the North's ass. In fact, he did whip the North's ass on various occasions. Lee should stand as a paradigm for the maxim, "history's only crime is losing". As to a portrait of Nathan Bedford Forrest gracing War College wall space, well, I can certainly see where that mig...

Re: NSA bulk data collection un-constitutional

We haven't had a domestic smack-down since 9/11. Another attack like that will quell all this self-righteous indignation regarding our domestic security agencies.
