New leaker in government
CNN reports that there is a new leaker out there revealing classified material to Glenn Greenwald at his “Intercept” news site. Greenwald was the fellow who sponsored Ed Snowden’s stolen secrets last year and apparently, on his website, Greenwald is referencing documents created after Snowden left; The Intercept article focuses on the growth in U.S. […]
About That Recent CIA Station Chief Outing . . .
The CIA Station Chief for Afghanistan was recently “outed”, apparently accidentally, during the POTUS’ recent visit to Afghanistan. So let’s do a comparison with another recent outing of a “clandestine” operative, shall we? I’ve looked at both. The results are . . . interesting. Remember all the brouhaha over the Valerie Plame “outing”? How the […]
Finally a shooter with military connections
Pinto Nag sends us a link to an NBC News article about a 15-year-old in Oregon who shot a classmate the other day, then he engaged in a shootout with police before he shot himself. Another indisputable tragedy. But, the media of course is obsessed with explaining his behavior – in this case they’re doing […]
Morons at the Hartford Courant
I’ve seen some real dumbasses in my time, but the Editorial Board at the Hartford Courant must be the dumbassiest. Whatever the circumstances of his capture, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was the last American prisoner of war. Now that he is free, might it be time to rethink the POW-MIA flags that have flown over some […]
Tom Philpott: Vets should be wary of CVA pitchforks and torches
Chief Tango sends us link from Stars & Stripes from some fellow by the name of Tom Philpott entitled “Vets should be wary of CVA pitchforks and torches”. It’s to warn us poor stupit vets that Concerned Veterans for America is *gasp* partisan. I can’t claim to have covered VA medical appointments and wait times […]
Dear Breitbart; the VA is not DoD
Yeah, I get his point, but Breitbart author, Thomas Rose tries to draw a comparison between the Veterans’ Affairs Department allowing deserving veterans to languish on long lists awaiting care while Bradley Breanna Chelsea Manning jumps to the front of the line for his sexual reassignment treatment. First of all, I don’t believe that even […]
More “Words of Wisdom” from MSNBC’s Ed Schultz
Well, the MSNBC damnfool idiot pea-brain loudmouthed moron personality Ed Schultz has made waves again. And this time, he did it on Twitter. Here’s a recent Tweet (since deleted) from Shultz. Fortunately, it was preserved for posterity before it was deleted: Apparently Shultz doesn’t much care about the 6 million or so members of the […]
Charles Lane; get your facts straight on Tricare
So, this fairly disingenuous fellow, Charles Lane, writes in the Washington Post opinion section about how we veterans don’t deserve Tricare as it currently exists. Apparently, we shouldn’t expect the government to honor it’s promises after we’ve fulfilled our commitment; Since 2000, however, Congress has repeatedly expanded the access of former military personnel to Tricare.
