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 case. This just confirms to… Continue reading Mandatory Training…..

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 Chief of Staff of the… Continue reading Not understanding what was said…..
Not understanding the meaning of the word, “satire”.
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, edgy and a great satiric… Continue reading Not understanding the meaning of the word, “satire”.
The brave new world.
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 minded-but on the issue of… Continue reading The brave new world.
Misleading Conclusions
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 after the beginning of the… Continue reading Misleading Conclusions
They said it would never come to this…..
But alas it has. When people were discussing the repeal of DADT, it was always pointed out that the aim was just to have things be "business as usual" and that the rather more overt things that cause older men like me to get all pissed off and cranky-would not happen. But just as we… Continue reading They said it would never come to this…..
Navy Times Fails Again.
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 should make anyone's head explode… Continue reading Navy Times Fails Again.
Trolls can be dealt with.
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!
Over time-they always wear you down.
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 supposed to be checks and… Continue reading Over time-they always wear you down.
Where HAVE all the fun people gone?
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 Club Stag Bar on Friday… Continue reading Where HAVE all the fun people gone?
