to the Democrats

    Whao slow down on trying to cut funding to the military, look at the government contractors that you have signed off on and the money that they are making.

    Someguy who got out of the military and goes to work for a contractor doing the samething that we should be and they are making 5 times yes 5 times what your military person is making.

    For example can make from 130,000 to 200,000 us dollars and I only make 42,000 hmmmmm does it make sense?????????

    Wake up congress, get out of that dream of yours and look at the books!!! OR ARE YOU GETTING MONEY TOO?????

"The Surge"

    What is a "surge" well in Army tems is going to the fight and getting the enemy to come out in the open.  Now who is the enemy - insurgent?  Good question they do not wear a uniform, they are hard to find because they blend in with the populas.  How do you fight the enemy you cant see?  Hummm this is a question for the Vietnam vets. 

    They say history always reapeats itself and here we are again, As a kid I was intrigued with the war (Police action) that my father faught.  I never really got answers from him it was more beating around the bush because he wanted to forget, it was'nt till I got older and studied that war.  I also talked to Vets from that war as well. 

    This is the determination and my opionon of that war, Political assasination of our troops, now mind you that was 1964 to 1974, 10 years the first few years was a battle, then all of sudden the Politician got involved and the last 6 or 7 years was a mess.

    Time 2003, "Ladies and Gentelmen of our great nation we are at war with Iraq".  The men and women did a wonderful job of kicking butt and getting rid of Saddam.  Time now, Two politicians one President Bush and the other Prime Minister Al Maliki (Iraq).  Troops you cant do this and you cant do that, sounds familiar Vets.

    Last night the President spoke to our People to tell you that we are going to surge, Ladies and Gentelman I give you this, there will be more of our Soldiers in even more harms way, do not forget them, keep them in your hearts and prayers.  This surge is going to be tough!!

    Dad I now know what you went through and how you felt about our Government!!!!        Love you for what you did.

3000

    In baseball if a player hits 3000 hits he is a shoe in for the baseball hall of fame, in football a player has 5 or more good years and makes the probowl all those times or even has a good carer in football get elected to the HOF, this is the same for all sports.  We as a general americans have put the emphasis on good carers get you recognized for your accomplishments and we make sure that the occasional bar get togethers, barbecues and at work we talk about them.  I have seen these figures almost put on pedestals as if they are Heros.

    We have lost 3000 american men and women of our great nation in a country that no one really cares about especially now that the Leader of Iraq has been hung and is defiantly dead and gone.  America now is the time to not forget these Brave men and women, now is not the time to forget that there is a purpose to being here, now is not the time to forget the 3000 and probably more in the future that have given there lives for their Country and to help a country to build itself possibly into a great nation.  Now is the time to continue supporting the American armed forces that are protecting our country.

    If you ask yourself what are we protecting, here are some answers to ponder from an old Sergeants point of view, 1) Since 9/11 how many times has the extremist attacked our soil?.  I am sure you have heard of IEDs 2)  if we were not here, how many americans would be killed by IEDs on our roads?.  3)  If we were not here the people of Iraq would still be suffering a fate of death and starvation from a Dictator and his two sons were worse!.

    America even if you don't agree with the President and what he has done please believe in what your fellow Americans are doing and why they are here in Iraq and Ahganistan, please do not forget that we are still here trying to oppress tyranny and bring democracy to a country that has never known what freedom is, America please never forget the men and women of America that have given there lives and the ones that will.

    When you out and you see men or women with veteran hats on go up and shake there and say thank you, watch and see and then you will understand.  

                                            THESE ARE THE TRUE HERO'S

Happy New Year

Why

  Ok answer this one for me, how come I can never find the perfect paying job when i was a civilian?  ANSWER, I have come to the realization that you don't find these jobs until you have signed an agreement with the US ARMY or at my teenage years the MARINES.

Background, 1984 Hallmark, I was a good artist in that time and had enlisted in the Marines, my art teacher had given my work to a collogue of hers and they (Hallmark) knocked on my door with an offer , here is what I told them, "I'm sorry I cant work for you I enlisted in the Marines" unstbeknowing that I could of walked away and worked a wonderful job.

Time now, Blackwater, how long do you have on your contract, does anyone see where this is going?

Hey everyone I'm doing great, been busy and I cant lie to you couldn't figure out how to put a new blog on had to ask my sister after 10 days.  I dont regret one iota of my life and how it turned out.  Love the military and what it stands for.
