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. Continue reading Lt. Gen. Pedro del Valle; a True American Hero, But Not for the Reasons You May Think
It’s bad enough that Slow Joe has been emptying the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve (emphasis on “Strategic”), but to add insult to injury, Biden is literally taking weapons, ammunition, and a whole host of other miscellaneous and sundry military equipment out of the hands of our own troops to send to Ukraine. Continue reading VIDEO) US Marine Corps Can’t Even Clothe Their Own Troops, But Plenty for Ukraine, Afghanistan
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.

Did you know that America has roughly 23,000 troops in Korea? Digging a little deeper, did you know that the Republic of Korea (ROK or simply “South Korea”) has over four million (600,000 active, 3.5 million reserve) troops?
Now comes the crazy part – did you know that for the past 7+ decades, overall command of ALL those troops is a US Army general? Continue reading Republic of Korea; America’s 21st Century Vassal State
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.
