http://www.rssol.com ">             The recent probe into allegations of torture and mistreatment against P.O.W.s has stirred up a massive hornets nest. As a member of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy some of my readers might expect me to attempt to spin or damage control this. I refuse.              For most of our nations history there has ...

Just a quick update…… I will post the next installment of Charisma tonight             Just a quick update…… I will post the next installment of Charisma tonight. Additionally I rant he 2 mile today in a passing time. There were a lot of variables though ( SGT Runsalot paced me, wind, no sit-ups before the run etc…) so I am unsure if I could do it on an actual PT test but it was nice to see the time inch down a bit. &nb...

SGT Pyramid led the pain session again today and showed that he can actually be personable             SGT Pyramid led the pain session again today and showed that he can actually be personable. The reason his mask slipped today was because he had been chewed out for something fairly minor and seemed to want a bit of commiseration with his fellow soldiers. Frankly, I am all for it. The PT session we had today was the ...

            Yesterday while leading the House of Representatives in the Pledge of Allegiance Rep. Jim McDermott (Democrat – Washington State) gave the C-SPAN cameras a bit of showmanship. When McDermott got to the words “under God” in the pledge he very visibly shut has mouth and clamped his lips together, as though highlighting that he would not say that particular bit of the pledge. McDermott was in close-up for the whole ple...

(Disclaimer : This is only my personal opinion and in no way reflects the official position of the US Army or Government)     (Disclaimer : This is only my personal opinion and in no way reflects the official position of the US Army or Government)               Some time ago I stumbled across a few articles referring to something called ECHELON , for those of you who have never heard of it ECHELON is supposed to be a vast computer and intelligence network that monitors ...

Waking the Dead Waking the Dead               After a few days stay in the hospital following The Fall Doctor Feelgood decided I was able to go back home. Since my clothes had been cut off of me by the paramedics SSG C very thoughtfully brought in a set a NY Jets sweats from his home. The thing is SSG C is about 5’10 and 175 lbs. I am not. In short I looked like a spandex clad pickle preparing for high water conditions. Fortunately I was still drugged to the gills and di...

Today at 0630 we had our standard morning torture session               Today at 0630 we had our standard morning torture session. Our normal NCO was not available to lead the torture so we had a substitute inquisitor. Unfortunately the replacement is a complete moron.             For those of your who may be unfamiliar with the concept of pyramids in ex...

Police Response Police Response               Last night, before the incident with tequila , SGT Negrodamus and I were walking down to the corner store. We hadn’t gotten to the end of his driveway when we witnessed a man repeatedly slapping a woman next door. This woman was holding a child at the time. SGT N immediately called the police while I went back outside to make sure it didn’t escalate further. The ...

Some call me… Some call me…. Satan?               Last night I had occasion to wonder if I have developed some sort of persuasive power over others. Over the course of the last 15 years or so I have spent a lot of time drinking with friends most of them men. During this time a disturbing pattern of behavior emerges, whenever I am around someone who is drinking they seem to be pushed to drink far beyond their normal tolerance levels. I know I have pushed some of them into this ...

This cartoon was published in the Rutger University Entertainment newspaper. They have defended it saying that it was supposed to be funny. What if this cartoon was “knock a nigger into chains for buck!” Or “Rape a chink woman from Nanking for a buck!” Would the left winger intelligentsia laugh that off? I think not. Rutgers has been a hotbed for barely closeted anti-semitism for a long time. At least now it is coming out into the light where people can actually see them for the patheti...

While it ain’t exactly “Meet the Press” I thought roughly 2 of you might enjoy reading it…. Posted intact with only a few formatting changes… Greywar,    &nbs...

Marx didn’t know shit about medicine Marx didn’t know shit about medicine               So there I was half-naked on a hospital gurney wearing nothing but that ridiculous shift they love to give you. I firmly believe that the reason for this garment is to prevent you from having freedom of movement. I mean who is going to be gallivanting about the hospital scenery with their ass hanging out? Me that’s who! Especia...

Charlie Wrangel loves to talk about re-instating the draft             Charlie Wrangel loves to talk about re-instating the draft. This he claims would even out the burden of service across the entire population. You see Charlie is upset that 25% of the casualties in Iraq have been black and hispanic. He tells us that this is not right, that the burden of the “death tax” should be shared in equally by all segments of the United Stats population.             Charlie I got news for ...

Glenn Beck Was Wrong Glenn Beck Was Wrong   (Disclaimer : These are my personal views only and in no way represent the US Army’s official position.)               I spend a little bit of time each day listening to one or more talk radio hosts on my computer or in my car. One of my favorite hosts is Glenn Beck. I find his lack of pretension refreshing most days and also find his less-than-perfect background to be a realistic backdrop for many social debates.  All that bein...
