Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell is Irrelevant

Sure looks that way to me. Just apply the heterosexual harrassment rules to all. Simple. Nice to see some serving Navy folks coming around to the idea of eliminating the old homophobe hysteria.

That DHS report

Posted on April 16, 2009 | Comments Off on That DHS report

I got a little incensed when I read that the new, improved Dem-led Homeland Security octopus had singled out veterans as potential terrorists. Then I discovered the report was commissioned while Bush was in office and it only suggests that a small percentage of vets might be so disaffected.

And, of course, I recalled Timothy McVeigh, the wacko who the Army didn’t trust to allow to be a Green Beret. LGF, who I admire for his pro-Israel stance, has a sensible take on this report which seems to be roiling the never-very-placid waters of the rightwing blogosphere. He thinks the upset is way overdone. Includes a link to a PDF of the report itself and points to other, hardly leftwing bloggers, who agree. Makes sense. I’m convinced. Except for one thing. The report should have been aimed at extremism, not just "rightwing extremism." The obvious political bias is what caused the trouble.

American Legion wants apology

Posted on April 15, 2009 | Comments Off on American Legion wants apology

From Barry’s loony chief of Homeland Security, the Napolitano creature whose latest warning report says we must watch out for returning veterans going postal. She must be a graduate of Penn State.

Not to mention her other warning about Americans who dare to prefer state and local power to federal. She must not have read the Constitution. Or met our Texas governor, who is a diehard Aggie and Sarah Palin supporter, although it is true that he likes federal money as much as the next governor. Yep, the Leftist lunatics have certainly taken over the federal asylum. Watch yourself out there.

U.S. Navy rocks

Posted on April 12, 2009 | Comments Off on U.S. Navy rocks

White House dithering apparently ended and the U.S. Navy, taking a page from the French, has freed the American freighter captain-hostage in "a swift firefight." One which simultaneously eliminated the CO2 contribution of three of the pirates. The peace weenies probably will carp, but it sends a good and timely message.

The 9/11 generation of military veterans are taking up their GI Bills and going to college, and the nutball liberal war-protesting professors at places like Penn State are getting ready to cut them no slack. Disgusting.

President Pantywaist

Posted on April 11, 2009 | Comments Off on President Pantywaist

Well, at least one Euro was unimpressed with Barry’s first around-the-world whirl, to say the least:

"So The One retired triumphant, having secured a massive contribution of 5,000 extra troops – all of them non-combatant, of course – which must really have put the wind up the Taliban, at the prospect of 5,000 more infidel cooks and bottle-washers swarming into the less hazardous regions of Afghanistan."

Not to mention his brilliant, mid-tour non-response to the North Korean missile launch: 

"President Pantywaist is hopping mad and he has a strategy to cut Kim down to size: he is going to slice $1.4bn off America’s missile defence programme, presumably on the calculation that Kim would feel it unsporting to hit a sitting duck, so that will spoil his fun."

Well, we already knew Barry was President Thin-skin and all that goes with that little defect. But it’s nice to read some news about him for a change. Only odd that we have to go across the pond for it.

MORE:  Bowing, or licking Saudi Muslim King Abdullah’s boots? I say bowing, but you never know. As one commenter at the link said, we can be pleased it was not a curtsy.

Remember Me

Posted on April 7, 2009 | Comments Off on Remember Me

Five minutes is a long time for even me to watch one of those support-the-troops videos. But this one, tipped to me by my chapter of the Army Association, is exceptionally fine.
