[May 28, 2023] If you don’t have the answer, don’t pretend you do. Yes, I know; the most hated words someone can say is, “I don’t know.” But the shortest way to lose credibility is to claim you do know. Nothing is more frustrating for someone pretending they know something when they do not. No one is expecting… Read More »
[May 27, 2023] I originally wrote this blog post with the title “Disrespect to Leaders” but realized that I was leaving out a big part of the picture by not including “anger.” What brought me to this conclusion was an article entitled “America’s Anger Epidemic: Why?” by Dan Bowens. It’s really about workplace dysfunction. To buy into the… Read More »
[May 26, 2023] In two weeks, I will be at the memorial and military funeral service for a U.S. Army Soldier who died during the Korean War. His remains were recently identified and are now being returned to his home in Mays Landing, NJ, just a short drive from my home. I was asked to say a few… Read More »
[May 22, 2023] A few years ago, I wrote a very popular article on what it takes to be an Army Officer as measured by “The Army Officer’s Guide (1983 edition).

[May 19, 2023] Great stories never die. And neither do great myths; some of those heroes’ stories are popularized but false. In the mid-1970s, I was stationed in West Germany and heard from many of their citizens how rubble women were the mainstay of rebuilding a destroyed Germany. New evidence from Germany itself contradicts much of this myth.… Read More »
[May 18, 2023] As I put pen to paper (yes, the old-fashioned way), Memorial Day is only a few days away. I’m lucky to have served some incredible folks during my time during my military time, in peace and war, and under some extreme circumstances. This means taking the good with the bad, learning that the human way… Read More »
[May 13, 2023] On the lighter side of life, today I will deviate from my typical article and hit on Tom Pemberton Farm Life. Tom is a UK farmer with a good sense of what a cow wants and knows how to make 100 of his cows happy. Humor, much like art, is to be searched out. Often,… Read More »
[May 12, 2023] Our betters in the media and government are telling us that we should stop calling “terrorism” by the term terrorism. We all see the world elite working to help us not see the truth, and they are on the front lines of this every day. “You don’t want to be too judgmental. You don’t want… Read More »
[May 10, 2023] These last few weeks have given us plenty of things to laugh about and make fun of, especially for those who enjoy watching hypocrisy in action. Yes, we are all hypocrites, often as children (which may be excused somewhat) but also as adults. Progressive leftists use this as a bludgeon on their political enemies, and… Read More »
[May 8, 2023] A Bug’s Life is a 1998 Disney/Pixar movie about one little ant as he searches for a brave band of warriors to help battle the bullying grasshoppers who threaten his home. Today, there is a budding campaign in America to eat bugs to replace meat in our diets, more precisely, in your diet. Radical leftists… Read More »
