The NYT has some for disgraced ex-Marine – I use that term advisedly – and Iraq “expert” Scott Ritter. Who also, as it turns out, is a very bad man. This isn’t a matter of white and black making gray. An apple that is only rotten on one half is a rotten apple.  Courtesy of occasional reader Dust, a three-minute, award winning video that is well worth your time. Over at Blackfive’s place, Froggy get’s his frogman on, responding to a HuffPo “review” of the upcoming movie “Act of Valor”, which I am looking forward to seeing – because it just has to be full of awesome. The Huffington Post is a convenient target, but these are rounds wasted. Haters gonna hate. [...] An interesting short (10 minute) video shot largely using CGI and funded to the tune of €70K by the Irish Film Board.
The German from Nick Ryan on Vimeo. The visual effects breakdowns are interesting as well. Your host is back on the Crossfit track, the time which he has for such activities having been expanded by his more frequent absence from domestic duties. Also, something really had to be done about our creeping senescence, and this is after all a new year – a time in which it is customary [...] Start with this one, by Peggy Noonan. I particularly like the references to Lady Thatcher. The lady is in the top ten of my end-of-days dinner companions.

Something about the company he kept while on deployment. A bunch of stuff about Facebook. Wants the army to establish a position of divorce transition officer. Not sure if that’s at the brigade level, or all the way down to the platoon. All of this in the [...] You may remember that we discussed the upcoming movie “Battleship”, based – loosely, one imagines – on the game of the same name. Well, it turns out that the director got significant support from the fleet. And that Army colonel, seen in the action sequence? A little more on him, and the Center [...] In the view of the New York Times’ editorial board, the military in good economic times is an irredentist force with suspect loyalties to progressive orthodoxy. Which hates women. And gays. The military is for fighting wars, and there really oughtn’t to be wars, our intellectual betters believe. They’re very expensive, harmful to the [...] |
