Cons in the military

No, I am not talking about Neo-cons. The last place to look for a Neo-con is in the military. LOL!!!

This is exactly what you get when you wage an immoral war with no end in sight: View Link

The left has been trying to push this meme for a while now, and it’s not working for a couple of reasons.

First, even at increased levels, the number of troops receiving moral waivers is but a fraction of overall recruits.  Second, whatever happened to giving someone a second chance?  I can’t think of a better way to straighten out some kids who made some mistakes in life than a tour in the military.

As for neo-cons in the military, keep in mind that the military overwhelmingly votes Republican year in and year out.

Taking out a dictator and bringing freedom to 25 million people is “immoral”?

Not quite. You fail.

Here’s where you “LOL” like an idiot.

Actually, davi, that is not what the article says, at all. Go read it guys. It shoots davi’s little lie right in the head.

This has got to be one of the worst reader blog posts in the history of Sayanythingblog.  Unfortunately - the free posting forum (AKA Readers’ Blogs) at Rob’s blog here has become quite tedious to look at… There’s so much poorly written ‘noise’ that it’s hard to find the good stuff here.

Do you think your self-perceived cleverness is a good substitute for substance?


“Hope is not a method.” - Common Military Saying

The above is a statement of pro activity.  If any Soldier were to tell me that he hoped what he was briefing was going to come to fruition, that would be unacceptable.  We in the Army do not have the luxury to ‘hope’ that things will end well.  Hope will get us killed.  Instead, we must plan and take action.  Hope is not a method.

As a leader I can never ‘hope’ that my Soldiers have the proper training.  I can never ‘hope’ that my Soldiers have the proper logistical supplies.  I can never ‘hope’ that my Soldiers will survive the next mission.  Hope is not a method; I live in the real world.

I did this story a few days ago. My point then as now is this: Why not give those kids a second chance in life?


Election ‘08 - We Are So Screwed

My favorite part of this BS from leftards is they are the ones screeching&wailing for a compulsory draft. And yet the shit all over men and women who VOLUNTEER to serve, and go through the process of submitting request for waiver in order to do so.

Typical leftard crap. And the article does not say anything like what davi insinuates.
