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

Who needs a sabbatical?
Well, it’s been two years since I have right royally pissed off the feminist lobby, and it is January and I am cold. So it is probably a good time to jump back into the pool and piss them off again. Navy Times had a recent article up discussing the idea of

As promised, I am taking this opportunity to offer my thoughts on some provisions of the 2014 Defense Bill that should make anyone with any military experience at all, just a little bit nervous. ( If not downright upset.) First the good parts ( I guess). The bill revamps the

Speaking of things that are degrading to women, back in January, Martin Van Creveld published a fine article in Small Wars Journal. In it he makes the point that got RDML Gaouette fired, namely that there is a double standard existing in today's military-and its one where one gender is

This is why the Navy cannot have nice things. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has ordered a close-up and comprehensive inspection of all military offices and workplaces worldwide to root out any “materials that create a degrading or offensive work environment.” The extraordinary searches will be similar to those the Air
