[June 26, 2025] I missed publishing this article yesterday, which was the 75th Anniversary of the beginning of the Korean War: June 25, 1950. On that date, the Communist North Korean forces attacked across the border, starting a hot war that developed into an international bloody affair. I had the honor of serving with the South Korean Army… Read More »
[June 25, 2025] In an interview a few days ago, Professor Gad Saad was interviewed by Spiked’s Fred Myers about what’s gone wrong in the West and how we can confront anti-Semitism. I found his insights helpful, and they are highlighted here, as he discusses ideological brain worms. Saad witnessed a similar surge in anti-Semitism when he was… Read More »
[June 23, 2025] To be upfront this morning, I had not planned on writing this article about America’s strike on Iran for a few more days. Phone calls from a number of friends and acquaintances changed my mind. The first call was from a retired construction manager, the kind of person who is known to be one tough… Read More »
[June 16, 2025] Being selected as the new Facilities Chief in C-7 (Engineers) was a true honor. My section would be the lead effort for the Coalition Engineering effort at this stage of the Iraq War. Other than Route clearance of IEDs, which was a relatively new and smaller Engineer mission, Construction and Reconstruction were the highest visible… Read More »
[June 14, 2025] Israel’s preemptive attack on Iran’s leadership and nuclear infrastructure this past Thursday was the beginning of an effort to neuter Iran completely; the purpose can only be regime change. This is cutting off the snake’s head by killing leaders in Iran who have the will and desire to destroy the country of Israel. This is… Read More »
[June 12, 2025] Of all my combat tours in the Iraq War, this one would provide my Facilities team and me with the greatest responsibilities and hardest challenges. I was lucky in many aspects of this job, including having some truly professional-level officers working for me, highly educated, experienced, and – importantly – dedicated to getting the job… Read More »
[June 7, 2025] I was fortunate to have close friends who were really smart and willing to help me use their intellectual skills. And, of course, they all had high IQ scores, I know because I could tell. We often sat around discussing various topics, those as political, moral, and religious ideas. I believe that if it were… Read More »
[June 5, 2025] I often hear that America’s education system is failing. And there is considerable evidence to support that claim, and perhaps that is why there is an effort to cut Federal funding to colleges that allow illiterate students to attend. With the problem of college-based Leftist indoctrination to the side, colleges have lowered their academic standards… Read More »
[June 4, 2025] In an opinion article by John Hinderaker, titled The Locus of Evil, he describes Gaza as one of the “most benighted places on Earth.” And there is little doubt that it is the most unenlightened, backward, uncivilized, barbaric, and one of the darkest places in all of humanity. “It has virtually no economy; it is… Read More »
[June 3, 2025] If it were not for a few dedicated followers of the war in Ukraine, I would have missed reporting on Sunday about Ukraine’s attacks deep into Russian territory. Ukraine’s innovative strategy did lasting damage to the Russian government. The question we must now ask: Is Russia burning? From a small number of observers who’ve been… Read More »
