Leaving Afghanistan

Posted on November 12, 2009 | Comments Off on Leaving Afghanistan

Fellow OCS grad Tucker Smallwood, who I have known and argued with since college days, opined the other day on our class email list that Barry should withdraw all the regulars while sending in the advisers, accompanied by air, artillery and medevac. Just as he and I did it in Viet Nam. I agreed but, probably, for different reasons.

I also see no reason to keep regulars in that briar patch with the Taliban tar baby but, moreover, I suspect Barry is going to be another LBJ, as this indicates, another micromanager all the way to defeat. The worst problem of course is that we’re really there for us, not for them. And they don’t want to fight in sufficient numbers to make advising worth while. But we could just go back now and then to clean out the Taliban rat’s nest. Annually, if necessary. It would certainly be cheaper in money and American lives.

Canned sorrow

Posted on November 10, 2009 | Comments Off on Canned sorrow

If I see another headline about "the tragedy" at Fort Hood, I will vomit. It was a massacre, a terrorist attack, an example of "going Muslim" on Christians and Jews and other non-Muslims by a religious-fanatic murderer. Not some put-upon, discriminated-against, sad sack we must now feel sorry for. Piss on you, Maj. Hasan, and all your fellow-travelers.

The sorrow of the loved ones of the dead and maimed is real. But the old media manipulates us with their canned sorrow, no less than the politicians who can turn it on and off like a faucet. They couldn’t care less. Most of them never served and never will. Their buddy Barry, who also never served, will come to Fort Hood today to give his version of canned sorrow. He should, instead, lead by undermining the political correctness and bureaucratic cowardice and inertia that caused this travesty. But he won’t. It got him elected, after all.

UPDATE:  President Pantywaist came, he saw, and he coddled. Hasan may have cracked from "stress."

Time to bring back the draft?

Posted on November 10, 2009 | Comments Off on Time to bring back the draft?

The generals don’t want it, but, then, they can’t do the basics, either:

"The Army is so worn out and so politically correct it could not spot something seriously amiss in a major who dressed like an Arab on base even though he was American-born and bred. His openly expressed opposition to American policy in the Middle East should have gotten him cashiered, but didn’t."

And while we’re at it, how about a new Congress?

The traitor(s) within

Posted on November 9, 2009 | Comments Off on The traitor(s) within

So the murderous major tried to contact Al Q, eh? It’s really not reassuring to think that our own military may be shot through with terrorist sympathizers like him, whose activities their commands and outside intelligence agencies know about, but for reasons of political correctness decline to deter. Now we know what the FBI’s standard "this is not terrorism" claim is really worth.

PTSD is not contagious

Posted on November 8, 2009 | Comments Off on PTSD is not contagious

Take it from one who knows. So the dimwit media, trying to obfuscate and excuse the Muslim major’s murderous fling at Jihad, are just taking you and every other sucker down the garden path to stupidity. Grow up and realize that there really are traitors in our midst and this kind of nonsense only strengthens them.

UPDATE: It may be too late. Our society may already be too sick to survive.

Army killer’s 9/11 connection

Posted on November 7, 2009 | Comments Off on Army killer’s 9/11 connection

While our military, media and feds fall over themselves trying to pretend they have no idea why Maj. Hasan would murder and cripple 43 people, a Brit newspaper finds another supposedly-missing link to Jihad. Gee, what a surprise.

UPDATE:  At least one national pol has the common sense to draw the logical conclusion.
