    Now, that you’re gone Joe, I just wanted to say thanks for everything you’ve done for the country. You’ve been around a long time, all the way back to 1775. You waged a lot of battles, fought plenty of bad guys and helped bring down evil empires. You crossed the Delaware with Washington, fought the Bloody British in a town named New Orleans, trudged endlessly through the steaming jungles of the South Pacific, climbed Pointe du Hoc to save the world, slugged it out with Victor Charlie in razor sharp elephant grass; battled sandstorms and Jihadis from Medina Ridge to...

    During the mid and late 1990’s, my mentor and boss at Defense Watch, the late Colonel David Hackworth frequently reported on the military’s descent into the PC maelstrom. What had merely been the rantings of the feminist fringe in Washington in the 1970’s and 80’s, had materialized into policy the moment the great draft dodger swore to protect and defend the constitution in 1993. The self-immolation of a phenomenal fighting force had begun. Highly decorated and a veteran of three wars, Hack knew more than anyone that the Pentagon’s perfumed princes didn’t have the intestinal fortitude nor the foresight to...

    OBSTACLES "For a long time it had seemed to me that my life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in my way, something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles WERE my life." Fr. Alfred D Souza

    Marketwatch AP ^ | March 16, 2024
    CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Highway signs welcome drivers entering North Carolina to “the nation’s most military friendly state,” and veterans here know they’re being courted. But in a state where camouflage-colored appeals have become commonplace, recent efforts by progressive groups to cut into what has long been a reliably red constituency face an election-year test. Tar Heel State veterans interviewed earlier this month, ahead of Super Tuesday primary voting in some of the most active-duty and veteran-populous states, varied in their politics, even if they agreed that their military service had informed their opinions. Ryan Rogers, who fought in Afghanistan...

  • Mission Creep: Will Pier Become A Beachhead For US In Gaza?

    Responsible Statecraft ^ | 3/13/24 | Kelly Beuacar Vlahos
    The Pentagon’s plan for floating piers and a causeway to surge humanitarian aid into Gaza is drawing fire from military experts for its lack of detail, potential danger to U.S. troops, and risk of mission creep. Bottom line, it’s a bit of a head-scratcher. “Biden is committing the United States military to conducting a highly complex, very expensive, low-production operation to bring food into the strip — when Biden could massively increase the amount of food into the strip with far less effort or expense: demand that Israel merely open the damn gates and roll the hundreds of trucks awaiting...

    The Gateway Pundit ^ | Mar. 8, 2024 2:00 pm | J.M. Phelps
    Based on ICD-10 diagnosis codes related to transgenderism, the number of occurrences in active-duty military is on the rise—and it’s an exponential rise. The Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED) is a depository of all diagnoses, which are recorded using International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes. Earlier today, active-duty Navy Medical Service Corps officer Lt. Ted Macie shared the following DMED data on “transsexualism” in a series of posts on X: While all branches of service exhibit an increase in occurrences listed as “transsexualism,” the Army and Air Force have shown the most marked increases between 2016 and 2022. The number...

    Daily Mail ^ | 3/08/24 | Miles Dilworth
    A Harvard fellow and DC 'peace activist' has been charged with conspiring to smuggle millions of dollars worth of weaponry to aid a military coup in South Sudan. Peter Ajak, 40, fled to the U.S. with the help of the American government four years ago after he claimed South Sudan's president wanted him abducted or killed. He was granted refugee status last year and has been working as a fellow at Harvard Kennedy School's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. But the former World Bank economist, who now lives in Maryland, is now alleged to have conspired to send...

According to reports from Der Spiegel, Boris Pistorius, the head of the German Defense Ministry, is mulling over a proposal to reinstate compulsory military service. The move, if implemented, would mark a significant departure from Germany’s decision to suspend conscription back in 2011, opting for a professional military force.

    She’s the kiss of death for hospitals. The woke Veterans Affairs official who ordered hospitals take down the iconic Times Square V-J-Day kissing photo previously mismanaged a Missouri hospital so badly, she was condemned by both Democrats and Republicans alike. Smooch-bashing VA bigwig RimaAnn Nelson headed the department’s St. Louis hospital for more than three years, during which time the facility was rated worst in the country — with patients allegedly left in their feces for days, and more than 1,800 of our nation’s heroes being exposed to HIV and hepatitis from unsterilized dental equipment, reports said. “What happened in...
