I met a man once that fought in the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir.  He was a small man, and looked even smaller because his age prevented him from standing completely upright.  He wore thick glasses that rested across a crooked nose and a deep purple scar on his cheek.   We exchanged greetings and I […]

At just after 3 AM, Donald Trump took the stage and announced victory for his campaign in the presidential election.  I was asleep at the time. Seven or so hours earlier, I spoke to my brother as he left the voting booths.  He had barely made it, but was relieved to find the polls still […]

The Clinton mutiny

The Clinton mutiny

Like the 1954 movie based on the novel “The Caine Mutiny” by Herman Wouk, Hillary Clinton at times seems like the character Lieutenant Commander Phillip F. Queeg, the skipper of the USS Caine. “They were spreading wild rumors and lies, all lies….”

Russia is waging aggressive proxy wars in two theatres. It’s no doubt expensive, and they are the subject of ongoing sanctions. They’ve said “screw it” because they believe they’re facing a real threat. Russia feels as though the West is forcing their hand. They’re being pushed toward the brink of war and aren’t afraid to […]

In defense of 9/11 Bill – Saudi Arabia to collude to allow more terrorism

But, nearly hysterically – their response is to condone more terrorism. They’re threatening to limit U.S. use of air bases and assets in the Middle East region. They are publically considering scaling […]

Islamic State fight strengthens Al-Qaeda (Al-Nusra)

Al-Qaeda and Islamic State (ISIS) should be fought simultaneously. But that’s not what Al-Qaeda wants and so we’ve seen Al-Nusra cut its terror ties and re-brand. They’re waiting. We’ve got ISIS in our crosshairs and have begun a campaign to ultimately diminish their capabilities and remove them from both the Iraqi and Syrian battlespace. We’ve […]
