Over at Esquire’s political blog, LTC Robert Bateman has been buying into the entire-“all military men are rapists” theme. Now, I, for one, am sick of hearing it. A) Because it’s not true and B) it’s disguising yet another hidden feminist agenda. Fortunately for us all- ROK Drop is still on the

Not understanding what was said…..
One should respect public opinion insofar as is necessary to avoid starvation and keep out of prison, but anything that goes beyond this is voluntary submission to an unnecessary tyranny. Bertrand Russell Recently, there has been a video that has gone viral in military blogging circles and elsewhere, showing the

I must admit, I am taking enormous pleasure at the conservative freak out over both Seth McFarland's hosting of the Oscars-and the appearance of Michelle Obama therein. It is indeed laughable-because it shows what prudish jerks, a certain segment of American society is. For starters-Family Guy is great. Its funny,

Can we finally do away with DACOWITS now? Since everyone can do everything-why are they needed? Except of course, its not about equality at all. Its about reshaping the service into an image it never should have. But such is the way society is changing. I consider myself pretty open

I normally do not post about contentious issues during the holiday break, preferring instead to have innocuous fun with Beer and Babes, or comics, or life in the promised land of Japan. However I came across and article that is simply so egregiously wrong-that fisking it just cannot wait until

The word for the day is: "pussification". It would seem Navy Times enjoys it. Other, more rational members among us-not so much. When I saw this cover, I wanted to just reach through the screen and strangle somebody. Of course, as it turned out-the cover picture was nothing. What really

This video is lovingly dedicated to all those commenters who can't seem to discuss a subject on its merits alone. Like the fine group of folks who dropped by here in January. Warning NSFW!

It is called, "undue command influence" and it refers to the ability of a massive organization, sanctioned with authorities by the US government to regulate peoples lives-such as the US Military-to apply pressure on its judicial system to obtain a pre-ordered result. For the "good of the service". There are

A friend sent me the following in an e-mail. I am so lucky to have been able to see the “Old Navy”-sadly, future generations will never get to know the fun we had: Where Have All The Fighter Pilots Gone? We used to go to the Officers Club or NCO
