Yep, that sounds more like it. It would fit that pompous-ass attitude of yours.

Europe: Time to Start Paying Your Own Tab

Iraq War and Re-enlistments
Can we all agree that another “myth” from the anti-military types is just plain wrong:
THE IRAQ WAR HAS NOT BEEN BAD FOR RE-ENLISTMENTS.
There, don’t you feel better?

(mis)RULE (of) BRITANNIA(s armed forces)
The ever thin red line thins, and thins.
If the clueless folks at the Treasury in London don’t review their stilted sense of history soon, the only waves Britain will be ruling will the trout steams in Scotland where they will make their last stand from the conquering horde that will come their way. Power abhors a vacuum. Aggression is attracted to weakness.
My dear British mother, you rely on the military might of America for your freedom at your own peril. Continental Europeans hate you only second to Americans, and will never fight to defend you. We Americans are often a few thousand votes away from a path towards the isolation of the early 1900’s. Never forget that.
In spite of the fact that the British armed forces AS A WHOLE are little bigger than the US Marine Corps, and their 100,000 man (and woman) army is ½ the size it was 25 years ago, they are about to
This is important is the era where everyone wants a “coalition”. The British are the only other country besides the US that can project power to any extent: even now they can barely do it alone, and cannot sustain operations for any length of time.
After these cuts, they will be of little major use anywhere. They will shortly become an adjunct to OUR Marine Corp as auxiliary troops. And remember, THEY ARE OUR MOST CAPABLE ALLY.
What a shame. The cancerous tumor of the welfare state has caused a once great nation to forfeit any chance it could stand alone.
The UK is truly the last bastion of European strength, and it appears they have caught the Dutch disease.
Everyone stop and look around - you are at a turning point in history. Demographically and culturally Europe is on its deathbed. Our grandchildren will not recognize what even now is becoming little more than a collection of “museum states” populated with aged slaves to the state and a rapidly growing sub-culture from Arabia and North Africa that will not wait long for their turn at power.
EU, take good notes of your time in Bosnia and be careful how you judge Serbia. Starting with France, in the next century, that is your future.
As always, you have to go back to the music to finish off a proper post with a thin layer of cheese. That crusty old Marxist, and exceptionally talented musician, Bob Geldof put it down right in the 1980’s with the Boomtown Rats:

» Another Piece Of Red
I was reading in New Zealand
about Ian Smith
I was thinking they were lucky to be rid of that shit.
The people here can still believe in stiff lips and stiff collars
They're speaking deals in English
But they're making deals in dollars.
They're breaking up an empire
Nobody's buying British
They're calling for an umpire
Nobody's playing cricket
The flags are coming down
everybody stands saluting
But somewhere in the distance, I can hear somebody
shooting.
And another piece of red left my atlas today.
It's so long Hong Kong and no more Singapore
Those steaming nights of Malta
Goodbye Gibraltar
I'll give you arms for Africa
I'm hungry for India
The sun's set on Australia
And vive le Canada
They’re breaking up an empire
Nobody's buying British
Calling for an umpire
It really isn't cricket
The flags are coming down
There's a minimum of looting
Somewhere in the distance I can see somebody shooting
And another piece of red left my atlas today.........

Lieutenant General Gard, US Army, (ret) "America Sux"
General, congratulations!!! You have made it to the Wall of Shame.
What happens when you take bitterness, disappointment, excessive self-esteem, a blovating ego, and stir it up in a soup of Ivy League self-importance?
Looks like you get retired Lieutenant General Robert Gard who, it seems, is making a living being the “House General” for the hate-America-blame-America-first crowd.
The latest anti-American steamer coming out of the good general is to join in on the anti-AMB crowd, talking bad about his country and its military on
Here is a beaut from his addled mind,
OK General, so what you are saying is that is that North Korean crackpot decides to launch 5 of his missiles at the West Coast for whatever reason; we can assume that 3 will malfunction and 2 will head to California unmolested. Instead of having a good chance to bring them down and prevent loss of US and Korean lives, it is better to allow a few million Californians to die and to follow up by killing millions of Koreans? What????
Anyway, I have already spend enough time with this Harvard PhD, but here is a list of his other projects:
Gee wiz General, next thing you know you will be hanging out with those classic hate-America Fifth Columnist retired Flags at the
You know General, if you invested half the time worrying about minimizing the deaths of American soldiers as you did about the deaths of non-combatants, I might have more respect for you. As it stands right now, you seem to get a high out of proving to everyone how CONCERNED, how CARING, how SELF-HATING you are. I am sure you feel quite happy being the pet war criminal at the parties you attend in LA, San Francisco, Boston, Cambridge, New York City, and The Hamptons. Just remember, deep down, behind your back; not only do they loath you, they have no respect for you because you not only turned your back on your fellow Soldiers, you stabbed them in the back.
Then again, being that you learned your trade on the knee of that

"Any country that launched such a missile would run the risk of a retaliatory attack that would be tantamount to annihilation."

Anyway, I have already spend enough time with this Harvard PhD, but here is a list of his other projects:
- Wanting to benice to Milosevic and admit that we are bad for doing what we did in Kosovo (the poorly run campaign is a valid argument, just General Gard is off center in his analysis).
- Hanging out withSenator Harkin about landmines.
- Second guessing our pilots in Iraq andcalling them murderers.
- Accusing the US on not giving a damn about civilian casualties (that’s right General, we paint dead babies on our aircraft).
- Investing time with the poorly named wingnuts in theVietnam Veterans of American Foundation as their “Senior Military Advisor”.
- Chilling with the guys at anti-IraqVeterans for Common Sense

Unfrozen Caveman Anti-war Philosophy
Senator Kerry, as a possible future Commander in Chief;
Hey, lets all go home and turn it over to NATO and make friends with France and Germany is great, but lets do it after VICTORY. In any event, NATO can barely support Bosnia, Kosovo, and Afghanistan as it is. Nice idea, but the facts on the ground make your proposal a dead letter. These are not the European armies of the first half of the 20th century. Most of them cannot transport themselves off the European continent.
If the enemy knows we will stay in large numbers until they are defeated, they will either quit, or fight and die. Both are good outcomes.
If they know we want out based on a calendar, they will attack to get us to leave earlier, or just sit tight, rest, rearm, and resume the attack when we leave.
This isn’t War College PhD stuff, any Marine Option ROTC type can tell you that. There is plenty or room here to make proposals, but this isn’t it.
Please tell me your foreign policy crew can do better. A lot of us see the pointy end of a dagger pointed in our back, again. Show us is it isn’t true. You may very well win in November. Let us know you have a plan for victory; to do otherwise is to spit on the graves of those who have fallen.

To wit:
At the DNC in Boston he stated during an interview that the United States policy is responsible for terrorism. That by attacking terrorists we are just making more.
What a plain old idiotic statement. Everything is our fault. I guess if we just turned everything over to the UN and came home terrorism would end, right Tony?

Stand-by Shipmate, We're Coming to Take You Home
For over 40 years, they have been on the Kronborg glacier in Greenland waiting for their country to come and take them home. While flying on a very cold North Atlantic day on 12 JAN 62, these 12 men perished during the a Cold War mission our of Iceland.
In 1966, we managed to bring some remains of 7 out of the 12 home. After that, the other 5 have sat on that glacier, waiting. As early as 1995, human remains could be seen. A great summary
For those of my generation, the young men who lost their lives on that JAN day were our fathers, and uncles. The national shame is that we have allowed so much time go by, letting the dishonor of leaving our dead on the field continue.
Well, cheer-up. This AUG, CAPT Tom Sparks USCG is leading a solid effort to bring everyone home. After 38 years, we are making another attempt to bring LA-8, and the VP-5 crew of P-2V 131521 home. Godspeed and good luck.
