The first lesson of Iraq: Beware of those who play dice with God.
  • I'm so tired...

    I am an active duty military officer. The lasting damage that has been done to the armed forces - especially the Army - deeply saddens and infuriates me. To send brave young men and women into a meat grinder just once is one thing; but to send them back again, and again - and sometimes again - demonstrates this administration's absolute moral bankruptcy. I am reminded of a great Mark Knopfler song, 'Done With Bonaparte':

    "And I pray our child will never see

    A little Corporal again

    Point toward a foreign shore

    Captivate the hearts of men

    Save my soul from evil, Lord

    And heal this soldier's heart

    I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord

    I'm done - with Bonaparte"
