Two stories of late highlight the simple fact that despite spending billions and billions, the TSA/DHS/the military put on a pretty good show wrt to security and protecting us, but it is mostly for appearances.
Leading off, we have a Russian nuclear submarine, armed with the latest and greatest, doing a bit of site seeing off the gulf coast (I wonder if that sub captain has a girl in every port):
A Russian nuclear-powered attack
Parking your submarine in the wrong dock will get you cashiered quicker then you can say ,”Davy Jones’ Locker”, but really, do we want those unable to work out a simple clandestine affair to be in charge of the missile keys?

The hits just keep on coming. Not satisfied with smacking the individual states around, those wacky SCOTUS judges decided the military needs some “judicial activism”, just to let them know who’s boss. Hence we now have The Stolen Valor Act, deemed unconstitutional, allowing any gutless douche bag to lie about actually having a pair of balls and exhibiting same on the battlefield:
The Supreme Court struck down the Stolen Valor Act today, saying that the
I guess that this nonsense is how Team blue intends to get around the corner they painted themselves in by decrying indefinite detention of the Gitmo prisoners. By basically turning the trial into an endless ordeal, they get to hold these guys forever, and pretend they aren’t doing just that. What a fucking joke. Maybe Holder should come out and assure everyone that we already know these bastards will be found guilty like he did … Read more
How much can a soldier take and still be combat effective? Generals and the medical personnel that treat those afflicted have been wrestling with this since, well, aggression was invented. Leonidas and the Trojans had it easy ,”Either come home with your shield, or On it”. Even Patton couldn’t figure it out, and his failure cost him plenty. But the answers are as nubulous as asking what motivates a soldier?
Last week I wrote about … Read more
In a clean reversal of what the left told us all during the hate filled 8 years of Boosh-Hitler’s reign of terror about how the US constitution should apply to everyone, including terrorists at Club Gitmo that needed to be tried in civilian court, where Holder also guaranteed guilty verdicts I remind you reader, we now find out that Holder thinks terrorists are no longer eligible for constitutional protection now that his boss wants the … Read more
The world’s biggest gang of Knaves, thieves, child molesters, murder lovers, and murderers is at it again. The assholes that are defending Assad’s efforts to keep the Syrians oppressed, while killing thousands, now are demanding Americans be put on trial for the Koran burning incident that was used by members of the “religion of peace” to commit violence and murder infidels. Yeah sure, we will get right on it. As soon as you also demand … Read more
We expect much of our heroes, but living forever is not one of them:
Lynn D. “Buck” Compton, an Army paratrooper whose World War II service was portrayed in the book and HBO miniseries “Band of Brothers” and who later as a prosecutor secured a conviction for Robert F. Kennedy assassin Sirhan Sirhan, died Feb. 26 at his home in Burlington, Wash. He was 90.
He had complications from a heart attack, said his daughter
Years ago Jim Croce had a not so bad song with lyrics of:
You don’t tug on Superman’s cape
You don’t spit into the wind
You don’t pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
And you don’t mess around with Jim, da do da do…
Let’s add one more, no matter how dumb/drunk/cottled/young you are, you don’t go to your local VFW hall and burn their flag, what a goofball:
A few facts on … Read more
About 2 weeks ago I read a scathing article in the WSJ, penned by a recently retired former ST6 Navy Seal, who was more then critical of the Obama administration and his megaphone style handling of ST6 and their recent exploits. As background he admitted that he was retired before the OBL cacking, he had been on a number of similar high profile missions. The gist of the article was that Obama, his staff, and … Read more
