In spite of the fact that I’m old enough to draw Social Security, I still have heroes. To be honest, I’m of the opinion that if any given individuals claim they no longer have any personal heroes, those poor souls have probably hit the highest level that one could reach in their obvious narcissism.

The US Marine Corps Isn’t as Tough as the Heavies Want You to Believe
First things first – thank God that David Berger is no longer the Commandant of the United States Marine Corps. Where Douglas MacArthur failed to kill the Marine Corps back in the late 1940s, David Berger succeeded in the 2020s. Continue reading The US Marine Corps Isn’t as Tough as the Heavies Want You to Believe
When a Protestant Politician Defends Innocent Life More than my Own Pope
There are two rather large cultural battles taking place that an awful lot of Americans are unaware of. Interestingly enough, both of them happen to see US Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) at the center of both. Continue reading When a Protestant Politician Defends Innocent Life More than my Own Pope
Not Your Big Brother’s Marine Corps; Two MoH Winners Warn America that Current Commandant Committing ‘Irreparable Damage’ to Today’s Marine Corps
I’ve written before of the direction Gen. David Berger is taking the US Marine Corps. But perhaps, two Marine officers, both recipients of the Medal of Honor, have said it best.
Under Berger’s alleged leadership, the “Unites States Marines increasingly are irrelevant to the National Command Authority…”
Wow. Pretty strong language, wouldn’t you say? Continue reading Not Your Big Brother’s Marine Corps; Two MoH Winners Warn America that Current Commandant Committing ‘Irreparable Damage’ to Today’s Marine Corps
(VIDEO) Busting the Myth of ‘The Poor Teacher’: Try the Starting Pay of a US Marine
I’ve read it, you’ve read it, we’ve all read it. Story after story of the Oh-woe-is-me of the now ex-teachers who were fired after choosing to sell their naked images to porn sites.
Without fail, these gals all blamed the main reason for turning to pornography is supposedly due to the pay (or lack thereof) in the teaching profession.
That got me thinking; financially, just how bad off are teachers? Continue reading (VIDEO) Busting the Myth of ‘The Poor Teacher’: Try the Starting Pay of a US Marine
Biden’s Marine Corps; Welcome to the Age of Video Game Marines
A couple of old Marine Corps sayings I’d like to share with you;
- “The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war.”
- “You don’t have to practice to be miserable.”
Granted, the first adage is popular of the amongst the ‘Pain is Good‘ crowd, of which (at least) use to be quite few Marines, myself included.
The second quote was known to be uttered by most terminal Lance Corporals at the end of one of those nasty long-distance speed marches (AKA: “Humps“). But in all fairness, most Marines aren’t happy unless they’re bitching.
One thing I will add on as a postscript to the latter quip; “You don’t have to practice to be miserable, but you do have to practice to endure misery. Continue reading Biden’s Marine Corps; Welcome to the Age of Video Game Marines
The Death of the Corps; Commandant Fundamentally Changes the Entire Purpose of the Marine Corps
Remember the good old days when the Marine Corps was the nation’s Amphibious Force in Readiness?
Getting even more basic, there was a time when the Corps referred to itself as simply America’s 911. Continue reading The Death of the Corps; Commandant Fundamentally Changes the Entire Purpose of the Marine Corps
Gutless Commandant of the Marine Corps; $2 Million University Recommends Dropping ‘Sir’ and ‘Ma’am’
It’s bad enough that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Millie, is the butt of every woke joke ever, the alleged “leadership” of the United States Marine Corps isn’t far behind. Continue reading Gutless Commandant of the Marine Corps; $2 Million University Recommends Dropping ‘Sir’ and ‘Ma’am’
On This Veterans Day, It’s Men Like PFC Fenton who Deserve the Honor
Of all the powerful images to come out of WWII, from the direct hit to the USS Arizona during the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, to the US Marines raising the Stars and Stripes on Mt. Suribachi in the midst of the Battle of Iwo Jima, I think the one above is one of the most powerful photos from the war. Continue reading On This Veterans Day, It’s Men Like PFC Fenton who Deserve the Honor

I recently had a rather interesting conversation with a family member who, unfortunately, has bought off on all that “Boss Chick” bullshit that Hollywood revisionists attempt to rewrite history. Continue reading (Video) Latest Marine Corps Recruiting Commercial is Nothing Short of Embarrassing
