Repost: A Modern Thanksgiving Tradition of Sorts
From several years ago. Happy Thanksgiving, all. —– Because of the date of the original incident, this song has become a minor Thanksgiving tradition on many modern radio stations. This should also bring back a few memories for our Vietnam-era readers; hopefully, at this point, the passage of time has made them reasonably mellow ones. […]
Last week troops were starving due to “food insecurity”, now they’re starving themselves in a “pervasive culture of eating disorders”
Last week I mentioned how the “DoD “all in” on combating “food insecurity” in the ranks. I linked in that article to the earlier discussion on what “food insecurity” means here; 1/5th of military families are starving!!!

Military Times reports; Since 1946, the Navy’s Blue Angels have dazzled onlookers with their aerobatic prowess in both combat and air shows alike. And for a bargain of […]
Yer Friday Funny: That Song’s About WHAT?!!
Here ya go: listen as Uncle John sings us “The Dildo Song”. OK, people: get yer minds out of the gutter. The song’s about a community on Newfoundland. Seriously. Don’t believe me? Here’s a picture of the road sign for the community. And here it is on Google Maps. Per Google Maps, there’s also apparently […]
A Blast from the Past, Rarities Edition – Part 9
Nothing new from DPAA this week regarding accounting for US personnel who had previously been declared MIA/POW. So this week you’re stuck with this instead. Read on at your own risk. (smile) . . . Just about done with a 4,500 mile trip well west of the Rio Grande and back. I’m at the final […]
