Thoughts on America

Wish I knew who said it!

Somewhere a True Believer is training to kill you. He is training with minimal food or water, in austere conditions, training day and night. The only thing clean on him is his weapon and he made his web gear. He doesn't worry about what workout to do - his ruck weighs what it weighs, his runs end when the enemy stops chasing him. This True Believer is not concerned about 'how hard it is;' he knows either he wins or dies. He doesn't go home at 17:00, he is home.
He knows only The Cause.

Still want to quit?

Got this as a "comment" (CAPS him, structurally correct, mine)

ONLY A COMMUNIST WOULD REMOVE THIS POST.

Only the Blog owner would remove this post.

FIND OUT THE TRUTH ABOUT AMERICA'S SOLDIERS.

Great buncha guys (in the gender-neutral sense)

MANY ARE PRACTICING SATANISTS, WICCANS, PAGANS, AND ATHEISTS.

Many are practicing weapons proficiency.

THEY RESEMBLE THE ARMY OF SATAN FAR MORE THAN THE ARMY OF GOD.

Sadly, the Army of God, (girded about their paps, etc) is recruited in the Church, not strip malls.
And I say sadly because I do believe that everyone everywhere should be a Christian. We do not get to judge others, however. Perhaps your time would be better spent applying the Great Commission to people, instead of tilting at my windmill, no?

THE TRUTH HURTS.

Looky there!

Just what constitutes "Weapons of Mass Destruction"?
Tons of arms, explosives, and chemical, perhaps?

This Guy has hit it right on the head!

Falls in line with a few of my other pet peeves:

Berets-Okay, we've had our fun, let's get back to a practical piece of equipment.

GWOTSM-I get a medal now for showing up? Thought that was the NDSM.

GITMO and the KORAN-these "detainees" get treated better than our Soldiers. Newsweek got people killed. Where is the MSM outrage?

Great Britain can't call a spade a spade-Not a huge issue in the scheme of things; you think PM Blair needs me to send him a copy of the "Who flew planes into the WTC" Multiple choice test?

Thank God they are liars

Seems the Taliban have been attempting a little "Liberal" PR campaign with regards to a Navy SEAL they claimed to have captured and beheaded.

My heart still goes out to that brave man and his mates who perished on that rescue mission.

God bless those who are engaging the enemy. Your efforts are not in vain.

Some days I feel I don't deserve to pull a paycheck from the same boss.

36 Senators Object to Gonzales' Confirmation as Attorney General

In what was originally expected to be an uncontroversial vote, 35 Democrats and 1 independent voted against the confirmation of Alberto Gonzales, raising pointed questions about his role laying the legal groundwork for the Abu Ghraib torture scandal. The dissenting votes Gonzales was confirmed by just 60-36 -- the second most "no" votes for any confirmed attorney general in history. (The first was Ashcroft.) MoveOn members played a major role in getting this on the radar, making it a referendum on torture and generating a real opposition.

I think it was due to the fact that he had those illegal immigrants watching his kids-No, wait, that was Clinton's FIRST nominee to AG. And his second. The third was a megalomaniacal she-beast who cut Lon Horiuchi loose to shoot an unarmed kid in the back and a woman holding a baby.

London Bombed!

Caught this whilst preparing for work this afternoon. Seems that our partners across the pond are not immune from the barbarism. It's fresh enough right now to not have the Bush bashers out blaming it on him. I know it will come as sure as I know my name.

THESE ARE THE ACTIONS OF SOME SERIOUSLY WHACKED-OUT PEOPLE!

THIS IS THE FAULT OF NEITHER TONY BLAIR NOR GEORGE W. BUSH!

Mine and my family's thoughts and prayers are with the victims and the leaders of that country.

France ummm....fought for something?

Quote from Jacques Chirac regarding their bid for the 2012 Olympic Games
(They lost, by the way.)
"You can put your trust and faith in France, you can trust the French, you can trust us."

HAHAHAHA!!!
Dammit Jacques, you made my coffee come out of my nose!

Burning my Flag

2005-07-06T08:21:00.000-07:00

Seems to me that the folks who choose to burn the flag have it all wrong.
Let me start by saying that I think I am as American as they come. Patriotic, serving in the Military, love the occasional hot dog and apple pie. That being said, here comes the shocker: I think you should be allowed to burn as many American flags as you wish!

BUT...(and as you will see, there will almost ALWAYS be a but)

You need to realize EXACTLY what it means to burn the flag (as an American).

My flag is a symbol of my Nation. As such, the way you (dis)respect the flag HAS to be a direct reflection of the way you feel about America. If you are truly so distraught over the way the Country is going, if you TRULY feel that you see the flag as a representative of the Country, and if you think that things have reached a point where you have to destroy the Country in effigy, burn away!

Then leave.

Yep, get out. If this Country holds nothing for you, leave. Go somewhere else. Find a Country that is more in line with your way of thinking.

If you are not willing to do this, if you want to both burn and hide behind my flag, you are just a bratty child looking for attention.

And I will have to spank you.
