Time reprints my criticism
Some of you may remember the review I did last week on Time magazine’s cover story about the widening gap between the military and the protected classes of our society. Well, Harriet Barovick, one of the journalists over there acknowledge my criticism in this week’s edition of the magazine; ‘Yes, there is a divide between […]
Armando Cordoba busted
Back in September, we mentioned a Stolen Valor case that our buddy, JD at Professional Soldiers, was working on, in regards to Armando Cordoba (sounds like a cabana boy, doesn’t he?). Armando claimed in a local newspaper that he had been a POW of the North vietnamese Army. Average NCO sends us a link to […]
Time: An Army Apart
That’s the cover of this week’s Time magazine. TIME’s Mark Thompson reports: “Never has the U.S. public been so separate, so removed, so isolated from the people it pays to protect it…..

FBI: Gang infiltration of the US military
Old Trooper sends a link from the Washington Examiner in which they report that the FBI has issued a report which accuses the US military of harboring street gang members. TSO and I agree that this report has SPLC’s fingerprints all over it – like their wild goose chase for Neo Nazis in the military […]
Maryland court steals more valor
In the case of Aron lawless, the Maryland former Marine who scammed Glock out of a free trip to Las Vegas meant for a real hero. Maryland’s federal Disrict Court ruled the Stolen Valor Act unconstitutional, on the grounds that the law was too broad. From the Journal-Star; The law was so broadly written, they […]
