All Female F-15 mission

This is interesting… for those that double female military capability:

I find this to be an interesting follow up to the previous topic. What wasn’t reported in the news clip here, was that the mission was a success. I wonder how many missions were conducted with an all female crew.

The country we should invade

I have a little suggestion for the Administration.  Bring home every Soldier, Sailor, Airmen, and Marine from Iraq and Afghanistan… and of course Libya.  Private Contractors can finish everything up just fine over there… but bring home all our  Armed Forces.

Then we invade Mexico.   Completely, totally, and utterly.   We go street by street, house by house… and we kill everyone having anything to do with the Drug Cartels, Terrorist Groups, or any Gang affiliation such as MS-13 and the like.   We finish this.  Two more American Citizens were killed waiting to cross the border back into the US.

If we could accomplish that, then we wouldn’t have to worry about border security save for ports of entry check points much like Canada.    But while we are there… how about a little regime change?  Process out all corruption in the bureaucracy there.  Okay, well, maybe not that.  We’d have to sort out our own first before we could point fingers on that count.

The Left Knee

Here’s what’s going on.  Last Tuesday I got a twinge of pain in my left knee.  Wednesday morning, that knee was swollen and causing me huge amounts of acute pain.  It’s only gotten worse.  This morning I went to see the Saw Bones and he had a battery of tests done and x-rays.  He drained a lot of fluid from the knee and injected Cortisone into it… a lot of Cortisone.  I don’t think I’ll need surgery again.   He also gave me a script for some serious pain meds.  Right now I am without pain.   That’s a beautiful thing.

Women in War

American Warriors

We’ve read the reports that our Woman Warriors in The Stan are being encouraged to wear scarves over their heads.  We’ve read views supporting and opposing this from all directions.  My take on this is a little different.  The way I see it, Male or Female, they are American Warriors.   We should treat all of them the same.  No matter where they are.  And other nations should Fear and Respect them all the same as well.

Let me get this straight.

In Iraq, we are fighting Al-Qaeda.  In Afganistan, we are fighting Al-Qaeda and Taliban.  But in Libya, we are Al-Qaeda’s Air Force and our Administration wants to arm them?

While the whole time the Administration wants to disarm us and keep an eye on us because we are the ones that are the potential threat.   I’m under the impression that our current administration is goofier than Keystone Cops.

Tom Selleck, good guy.

On Facebook, a “Friend” (who I don’t know from Adam) posted a link to a story about Tom Selleck.  The story’s headline is misleading.   Read the article and see if you come to the same conclusion that I did.  Tom reacted right.  He called the guy out on his poor gun safety.  Some clown picks up a gun, finger on the trigger, and starts pointing it at people… Tom sees it and promptly tells him to stop.  The clown probably regards Tom as a jerk and has his feelings hurt.  But that’s better than this clown claiming that “The Gun just went off” as he tries to explain to a grieving family how he killed their kid/dad/mom/etc.   Continue reading Tom Selleck, good guy.

Mil-Spec = Quality?

By Daniel Shaw

Anyone who has perused popular firearms related forums has likely encountered the dreaded gun snob who seemed to know it all. A list of his or her personally approved Mil-Spec AR 15 manufacturers was likely produced at some point during the encounter. If your AR doesnt happen to be from one of those listed companies – you are ill prepared and will likely die as a result of your “jammomatic” not operating properly. In most cases, the list provided includes very reputable companies that do in fact produce high quality ARs. Does that mean they are the only companies that make quality guns of that genre? I think not. Continue reading Milspec = Quality? Guest Post by Daniel Shaw
