[July 27, 2025] The general rule of leadership is to fully own up to any mistake you make and do so promptly. In particular, this is true for senior leaders. Reasons for admitting your mistakes are many and will be listed here. Exemptions, however, for not accepting a mistake are exceedingly rare. One unfortunate exemption to acknowledging one’s… Read More »
[July 26, 2025] We read those stories of our heroes’ brave deeds, those who put their lives on the line for others in displays of unbelievable courage. We need good citizens like that, and for reasons of necessity, we do indeed love our heroes. But there are also many more stories of ordinary folks who, along with their… Read More »
[July 25, 2025] That Wednesday morning began cool, with lightning, thunder, and rain beginning around 0230 hours. This was great for plants but hard on our construction efforts in the Iraq War. The reason was the mud, and not just any mud, but mud made of extremely fine particulate. It was stuck like glue to anything it came… Read More »
[July 20, 2025] Yes, I know that’s it has been since May when I posted my last “Sunday Morning in Pictures” meme series. I’ve got to be careful not to upset too many Leftists who do actually read my blog. Oh, never mind. Here is my 16th Sunday Morning in Pictures. Enjoy. ———— Please read my books: “55… Read More »
[July 19, 2025] Taken from my 2021 book Our Longest Year in Iraq, I made a crucial distinction between “insurgents” and “terrorists.” To understand the difference makes us understand them better.

[July 16, 2025] Before departure, I wanted to ensure my small team understood the ramifications of going to war and what we would be up against. There would be no going back.

[July 14, 2025] Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is enamored with being on America’s highest court.

[July 13, 2025] Today’s Feminist description of men is that masculine men are toxic and dangerous. The consequences of this ideology mean that it is more important than ever to teach young boys about how to be good men. I’ll be highlighting a stable, sane, moral, prudent, hard-working family. Meet the Blessing Boys. According to Justin Knoop, a… Read More »
[July 12, 2025] I remember the old Adventures of Superman television series from the 1950s. My parents didn’t allow me much boobtube time, but when they did, Superman was a-okay. He stood for truth, justice, and the American way, and that is the way any worthwhile show should be. A new “Superman” movie will hit the streets soon.… Read More »
[July 10, 2025] The early morning of Thursday, 5 April 2007, was among the nicer weather days of the year. “Clear and cool” is what I jotted down in my notebook. A nice, cool day was rare, and so we would enjoy it while it lasted. Because building Coalition facilities was a precondition for the success of the… Read More »
