Saying Goodbye to My Company
In closing, there have been points during my time in command when I was frustrated with being here and not in combat in Iraq or Afghanistan. This was especially true as my former unit, the Stryker Brigade, deployed to Iraq, and I'd get the occasional letter form my old buddies from places like Ramadi, Sammarah, and Mosul.
But the good Lord has his reasons for everything. Sixty years ago, General Patton addressed troops of the Third Army, telling them that they were part of something they could be proud of, that, 30 years down the road, when their grandchildren asked what they did in the great World War II, they wouldn't have to say they shoveled excrement in Louisiana. Now, as I look back on the last 19 months, even if I do nothing else in our current war, when my grandchildren ask what I did, I can be proud to say:
"I trained Soldiers."

Fatwah
Chris Byrne, the Anarchangel, has had a fatwah put out for his death. He was contacted by the FBI Friday evening. Apparently the jihadists didn't like the actions of Team Infidel too much.
Chris' responses to this says everything better than I can. But I'd like to point out again how two-faced these people, and their aliies (yes, I said allies) on the Left are. The jihadist fuckwits can burn American flags, burn Bibles, blow up synagogues, deface synagogues and churches, and destroy centuries old giant stone Buddhas, and we're not supposed to notice. But we have to be sensitive to their feelings about their unholy book. Fuck that. Fuck them.

Political Correctness Gone Stupid
I was in Sam's Club yesterday (I actually went in to get lunch-polish dog with all the fixin's and acoke for $1.50 is tough to beat) and wandered through the DVD section. On of of the racks was a DVD collection of footage from WWII. The cover was a montage of pictures, one of which was a bunch of GIs posing for a picture with a captured enemy flag. The flag was red, with a solid white circle in the center. In the middle of that circle was...a Red Cross.
Yes, I shit you not, a red cross. How stupid do the video makers think we are? Anyone who has ever watched the History Channel knows what goes in the middle of that flag. A swastika, or hackenkreuz if you're Germanically inclined. Apparently the swastika has become so abhorrent to the PC crowd that run the entertainment industry that they can't even show it when our troops are demonstrating their truimph over the evil it represents.
Fuck that. Show it. Show it first so that the world can be reminded of the evil that Hitler and his followers did-work that, incidentally, is admired and praised by the fuckwit jihadists we're fighting now. You hear that, you idiot pinkos? All those members of the Religion of Peace out there looking for a quick entrance into Paradise by killing us nasty infidels think the only problem with Hitler was that he didn't kill all the Jews. Other than that, he was a dandy guy.
Anyway, back on point-show the evil that the swastika represent, and then show it being torn down, danced on, driven on by tanks, and displayed truimphantly by our victorious troops.
