If it doesn’t look good for you, change it. That seems to be the theme these days. Just glad that nobody believes the Pentagon’s crappy excuses. A failing grade is still a failing grade, even if you do boost it up to like a D.
The UN praised Iran today for being very compliant to the [...]

Remember When the Boy Scouts …
Posted in Military, Nebraska, Politico on August 29, 2007 | 6 Comments »
Was about boys doing scouting … things? Now, the BSA is apparently the outlet for pedophiles and idiots.
While the insurgent Shiite army may be calling off the fighting for awhile to re-organize in Iraq (which would be awesome if the entire army obeys the ceasefire), now disease is threatening to kill a ton of people. [...]
Iranian Diplomacy
Posted in Flippin' Video Games, Military, Nebraska, Politico on August 28, 2007 | 2 Comments »
There are times when diplomacy makes all the difference between uneasy neighbors. It’s apparent that Iraq’s neighbors want to take part in helping the country reach some sort of stability, although their motives are often questionable.
So what to do about Iran? Undoubtly, it is the largest and most powerful Islamic state on the Gulf – [...]
The Pentagon Needs Someone to Kick Their Asses

A fellow ex-military friend of mine (handle – CD Rhom) has brought to my attention something quite alarming:
Apparently the Pentagon is labeling people with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder as “having a personality disorder” in order to avoid having to pay for the inconvenience of treating veterans returning from Iraq (and from past conflicts).
Some Senators have [...]

Being ex-Air Force

I think I have seen this document before.
It’s no surprise, as a lot of old 1980’s documents still hang around in the military. I’m assuming it was written around the time when we were planning on fighting in (or actually just fighting) countries like Lybia, Nicaragua and the Congo.
It’s the old “The Enemy of my [...]
What’s Interesting

Is the upcoming clash of, “What the Administration wants out of the Army,” with “What the Army can provide the Administration,” and, “What the Republican party is expecting of the Administration.” Although the new NIE with new Bushites running the show is telling us to stay, I count the timing and the assessment of the [...]
Iraqi Heat

Merely a week or two before General Petraeus goes up to give a report on Iraq’s progress, the shit is already hitting the fan.
First, Bush criticizes the Iraqi government while standing in support of the Iraqi government in the greatest bullshit maneuver of his time.
Then, in retaliation for being shit on, Maliki turns around and [...]
