This Is Wrong!  Wrong! Wrong!

A Marine Lt., fearing for his life, shoots two terrorist Iraqis.

The panty waisted, politically correct crowd now want to charge him with murder in the first degree.

Read what he did here and why he did it.

Remember Lt.Col. West, who was also charged in that incident of having put a pistol up to the head of a captured Iraqi in order to get him to divulge information about other terrorist plans?  Ands how the cowardly fuck spewed info and saved American lives?  Remember how the Colonel basically got drummed out of the Army for this? 

Now go read his lawyer’s take on what is going on with the Lt.

He says:

“It sets a terrible precedent for Marines, who have to make life-or-death decisions in the field, facing terrorists who follow no rules or laws of war,

No!!!  Really?  Terrorists don’t abide by the Geneva Convention?  Who’d a thunk it?

Further, the lawyer adds:

“If the officer made a mistake, that should end the matter. Mistakes are made in war. It sounds like Marine prosecutors are trying to justify their jobs by creating a case where there should not be one.”

This is sheer madness, I tell you, and does nothing to reassure our soldiers in the field that they will be held blameless in the heat of battle.

Torture is one thing.  Abuse is another.  Indiscriminately shooting innocent people is another altogether different thing.

But when dealing with terrorists, we need to re-write the rules of war:  all’s fair.  Shoot to kill.  No mercy.  No quarter.

Humor In Uniform

If I could, I’d enlist today and help my country track down those responsible for killing thousands of innocent people in New York City and Washington, DC.

But, I’m over 50 now and the Armed Forces say I’m too old to track down terrorists. You can’t be older than 35 to join the military. They’ve got the whole thing backwards. Instead of sending 18-year-olds off to fight, they ought to take us old guys.

You shouldn’t be able to join until you’re at least 35. For starters:

■ Researchers say 18-year-olds think about sex every 10 seconds. Old guys only think about sex maybe a couple of times a week, leaving us more than 28,000 additional seconds per day to concentrate on the enemy.

■ Young guys haven’t lived long enough to be cranky, and a cranky soldier is a dangerous soldier. If we can’t kill the enemy we’ll complain them into submission. “My back hurts!” “I’m hungry!” “Where’s the remote control?”

■ An 18-year-old hasn’t had a legal beer yet and you shouldn’t go to war until you’re at least old enough to legally drink. An average old guy, on the other hand, has consumed 126,000 gallons of beer by the time he’s 45 and a jaunt through the desert heat with a backpack and M-60 would do wonders for the old beer belly.

■ An 18-year-old doesn’t like to get up before 10 a.m. Old guys get up early every morning to pee.

■ If old guys are captured we couldn’t spill the beans because we’ve probably forgotten where we put them. In fact, name, rank, and serial number might be a real brainteaser.

■ Boot camp would actually be easier for old guys. We’re used to getting screamed and yelled at and we actually like soft food.  We’ve also developed a deep appreciation for guns and rifles. We like them almost better than naps.

■ They could lighten up on the obstacle course however. I’ve been in combat and didn’t see a single 20-foot wall with a rope hanging over the side, nor did I ever do any pushups after completing basic training.  I can hear the Drill Sergeant now, “Get down and give me...er...one.”

■ And the running part is kind of a waste of energy. I’ve never seen anyone outrun a bullet.

An 18-year-old has the whole world ahead of him. He’s still learning to shave, to actually carry on a conversation, and to wear pants without the top of his butt crack showing and his boxer shorts sticking out.  He’s still hasn’t figured out that a pierced tongue catches food particles, and that a 400-watt speaker in the back seat of a Honda Civic can rupture an eardrum. All great reasons to keep our sons at home to learn a little more about life before sending them off to war.

Let us old guys track down those dirty rotten cowards who attacked our hearts on September 11. The last thing the enemy would want to see right now is a couple of million old farts with attitudes.

So share this with your senior friends.  (It’s purposely in big type for us old guys...)

(-thanks to Dan D., A decent Canuck who really needs to move south)

Big Guns

A recent post by Vilmar elicited a lot of responses regarding .50 caliber ammo and several readers questioned whether you could even buy ammo of this size, much less guns to fire it. I’m here to tell you that you can buy this armament easily, as well as the ammo ....

Let’s start with the .50AE Revolver from Magnum Research, MSRP $899.00.

image

For the more exotic among you, there is the .50AE Desert Eagle Pistol, MSRP $1,749.00 (complete with tiger stripes).

image

Or you can purchase the plain .50AE Desert Eagle just like the one I have, MSRP $1,439.00.

image

Ammo? Yeah, they got yer ammo. All you need. They can ship you .50 caliber 300 grain, jacketed hollow-points all day long on FedEx for only $24 per 20 rounds.

Of course, if you really want to play with the real-deal .50 caliber (like the M-2HB below), all you have to do is raise your right hand and repeat after me ....

I, (state name here), swear...uhhh...high-and-tight...*grunt*...cammies...ugh...Air Force women… HOORAH!  So help me Corps.

Mud Wrestling In Iraq

I’m sure you’re all heard the absolutely scandalous story about some of our troops in Iraq indulging in female mud wrestling and other sordid antics while based in a war zone overseas. One of the female soldiers has already been demoted for her shameful behavior.

The BBC calls it a shame and refers to indecent exposure.

Reuters also refers to indecent exposure.

The Melbourne (Aussie) Herald Sun simply calls it cavorting in a plastic pool.

Here are the facts ....

1- The incident occurred on October 30 of last year.

2- Nobody forced anybody to participate.

3- Somebody took pictures and just recently released them to the NY Times.

Here is a picture of the “shameful behavior” ....

image

I’m sorry. I fail to see anything “shameful” here. All I see are a bunch of young people blowing off steam, young people who are stranded out in the middle of the desert with a lot of maniacs shooting at them day and night. What the f**k am I missing here?

Is anything going on here that we didn’t see every week on countless episodes of “M*A*S*H”?

Do you want to know what I see. I see a “holier than thou” media with nothing better to do than create a stink over nothing .... absolutely nothing. I also see some asswipe prick who had the pictures for six months, suddenly deciding to trade the pictures to a liberal rag (NY Times) for a few bucks. I see the DoD scrambling to cover their asses and throwing a female Army Specialist to the wolves and taking away a stripe. In short, I see ....

MEDIA BULLSHIT!

Tell me what you think. I’m all ears ....

Give The General A Medal!!!!!!

I LOVE the way this guy thinks!

OOOH-RAH!!!!

From the Chief of Staff on down, everyone must think this guy is a hero.  But they have to kowtow to political correctness so they “counsel” him.

I say, PROMOTE HIM!  NOW!!!  We just may have another George S. Patton in our midst.

Above And Beyond The Call Of Duty

Sgt. 1st Class Paul Smith, US Army, 11th Engineer Battalion, 3rd Infantry Division.
Hometown: St. Petersberg, FL
Killed In Action: April 4, 2003

“Greater love hath no man than this:
that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
(John 15:13)

image

On the morning of April 4, the engineers found themselves manning a roadblock not far from Baghdad International Airport.

A call went out for a place to put some Iraqi prisoners.

Sgt. Smith volunteered to create a holding pen inside a walled courtyard. Soon, Iraqi soldiers, numbering perhaps 100, opened fire on Smith’s position. Smith was accompanied by 16 men.

Smith called for a Bradley, a tank-like vehicle with a rapid fire cannon. It arrived and opened up on the Iraqis. The enemy could not advance so long as the Bradley was in position. But then, in a move that baffled and angered Smith’s men, the Bradley left.

Smith’s men, some of whom were wounded, were suddenly vulnerable.

Smith could have justifiably ordered his men to withdraw. Lt. Col. Smith believes Sgt. Smith rejected that option, thinking that abandoning the courtyard would jeopardize about 100 GIs outside - including medics at an aid station.

Sgt. Smith manned a 50-caliber machine gun atop an abandoned armored personnel carrier and fought off the Iraqis, going through several boxes of ammunition fed to him by 21-year-old Pvt. Michael Seaman. As the battle wound down, Smith was hit in the head. He died before he could be evacuated from the scene. He was 33.

Sgt. 1st Class Paul R. Smith, who spent his boyhood in Tampa, became a man in the Army and died outside Baghdad defending his outnumbered soldiers from an Iraqi attack, will receive America’s highest award for bravery.

President Bush will present the Medal of Honor to Smith’s wife, Birgit, and their children Jessica, 18, and David, 10, at a ceremony at the White House, possibly in March.

Important News Source

You can go ahead and pound another nail in the MSM’s coffin. The Department Of Defense has now installed new technology to distribute video, images and reports directly to you over the internet. It’s called DVIDS (Digital Video & Imaging Distribution System). Check them out. Get your news images, videos and reports without all the media bias.

image

The Digital Video and Imagery Distribution System is a collection of off-the shelf technology designed to improve media access to service members deployed in Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. The system consists of a distribution hub and six portable KU-band satellite transmitters positioned with Army Public Affairs Units in Iraq, Kuwait, and Afghanistan. The transmitters, or DVIDS Links, send interviews, imagery, video footage and print stories to the DVIDS Distribution Hub in Atlanta, Ga. where the information is distributed to interested military and civilian media organizations.

US Navy Conspiracy

GUAM - (AL-JAZEERA) - The US Navy fast attack submarine USS San Francisco (SSN 711) sneaked into harbor here last night under cover of darkness to try and elude international reporters having questions for the skipper of the boat regarding the submarine’s recent activities in Southeast Asia. The submarine’s smashed front-end coupled with the recent underwater earthquake and tsunami, which killed hundreds of thousands of peaceful, devout Muslims in the region has left many questions unanswered at present time. Imam Pati-Kayk Fazooli of the Holy M’Oli Mosque in Jakarta, Indonesia issued a condemnation of the US for the careless act of the submarine in causing the tsunami, “Allah will punish the Great Satan and sink all of her underwater boats of mass-destruction! I declare Fatwah on all American submarines!”

Official at the US Department Of Defense, when contacted by this reporter, only had this to say, “Hey! Fatwah THIS, Mohammed!” This story is developing into an international embaressment for the Bush regime which only recently returned to power in the US after manipulating the election using mind-control drugs. When this reporter tried to approach the submarine in drydock, he was being manhandled and brutally sent back by a huge, brutish Marine who shouted at me, “Hey! f**k off, Mohammed!.”

Below is picture that has been taken by this intrepid reporter of the tsunami causing weapon.

Heros And National Holidays

Back in May of last year I reported on a brave Marine Captain Brian Chontosh, who was awarded the Navy Cross for unparalleled bravery under fire in Iraq.

Where is he now?

Well, Captain Chontosh picked up his medal at a ceremony in his home state of New York, packed his duffel, hopped on a plane and went back to Iraq to take command of India Company. He led the charge into Fallujah last November to clear out that pesthole. The guy has a set of stainless steel balls and he don’t like stupid questions from reporters. Read the story and you’ll see.

Sergeant York, Audie Murphy, Brian Chontosh .... where the hell do we find so many brave men like this?

In honor of Captain Chontosh, we are declaring this Sunday to be officially ....

“Kick The Living Shit Out Of A Hippie Day”

While the Iraqis are voting we encourage everyone here in America to get out, hunt down a hippie and kick his teeth in. If no hippies can be found, feel free to substitute Kerry voters and/or MSM reporters. Happy Hunting!

The Other Nightly News

To listen to the Bloviating Bastard From Boston (Ted Kennedy), you’d think the war in Iraq is a “quagmire” and we need a definite timeline to get out, regardless of the consequences. Or as John Kerry said, “The wrong war at the wrong time in the wrong place”. Two dickheads from Taxachusetts if ever there were any. The MSM is showing you pictures of dead soldiers and Iraqi civilians killed by the peace-loving, revolutionary “insurgents”. They’re all predicting gloom and doom and a sham of an election on Sunday. Get the picture?

HORSE SHIT!

Here is what the shitheads named above are not telling you and here are the pictures of the quagmire they don’t want you to see. After all, you need to get both sides of the story, don’t you?

The Importance of January 30th

Two great things are happening on the 30th.  I will be focusing on only one of them.

The elections in Iraq.  We all know how important it is.

The UN now says it can not monitor the elections because it helped set them up. How quaint.  All of a sudden the UN finds some ethical standards to get behind.  Most likely, though, is that they are afraid of getting their asses killed so they purposely endeavored to work on the election process knowing this would give them an out.  Hey!  Come on!  We all know the UN is full of yellow-bellied cowards whose national flags are whiyte.

However, an entrerprising American officer has a WONDERFUL solution.

Remember all those cowardly fucks who called themselves “human shields” and flew out to Iraq to try and stop our attacks?

This is a great opportunity for them to do some civic service. His rationale?

They are familiar with the terrain and people, they have a self-professed desire to help and they seem very articulate. However, their biggest asset is bravery. If they are willing to hunker down between Coalition Forces and a bridge, standing between a foreign terrorist and a polling precinct should be no big deal. Any takers?

We love you, man!  (in a non-homosexual way!)
