The new G.I. Bill

Posted on April 29, 2008 | Comments Off on The new G.I. Bill

Excellant way to show support for the troops. Back a new G.I. Bill to send them all to college.

UPDATE:  It’s set for a May 8 vote in Congress. But there’s already concern the Dems will try to kill it.

SSG Matt Maupin, R.I.P.

Posted on April 28, 2008 | Comments Off on SSG Matt Maupin, R.I.P.

I remember the pathetic MSM speculation about how the Army transportation reservist’s reported capture four years ago might have been made to cover up his desertion to get away from the war which the media still works so hard to undermine. The homecoming for Maupin, with its miles of yellow ribbon, was impressive, as was the memorial service at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati. It was, obviously, not just for him alone, but for all the ones who gave all.

Bill Roggio, embed blogger/journalist in Iraq, for instance: Fair play? From the NYTimes? You’ve got to be kidding.

Winning the war

Posted on April 11, 2008 | Comments Off on Winning the war

While the troops in Iraq edge ever nearer to a lasting victory, the squabbling egotists in Congress fight over the almost-lost  war of 2004-2006. Longtime embed journalist Michael Yon, whose new book on Iraq is available, calls for more troops, not fewer, to enhance our gains for the first Arab-world democracy and keep them working. Afterall, if we’re really going to be there for a hundred years, we should do it right.

Gen. Petraeus reports

Posted on April 8, 2008 | Comments Off on Gen. Petraeus reports

Whatever Nancy Pelosi intended to stop the general from saying, it doesn’t seem to have worked. He poked Iran in the eye several times. Will we do anything more? Remains to be seen, I suppose. It all certainly sounds as complicated as Viet Nam ever was, though, obviously, with more potential immediate impact on our daily lives, and not nearly as out-of-control. Hope and change, it seems, are already in progress–without, of course, Barry and his dictator-loving advisors and their back-to-the-Saddam-era intentions.

Outside The Wire

I got mine. Help this pro-troops documentary look at the Army and Marine Corps in the Iraq campaign beat the anti-war movie sales. Considering how the anti-war movies bombed, so to speak, that shouldn’t be too hard.

Saddam’s man at the Times

Posted on March 31, 2008 | Comments Off on Saddam’s man at the Times

Mercy. And I thought the NYTimes was merely opposed to the Iraq campaign out of a dislike for President Bush. Now I learn, thanks to Pajamas Media, that they were on the other side all along. Pathetic.
