Are We Brave?

By | November 12, 2021

[November 12, 2021]  No, we are not brave!  This admission may come as a shock to many, but nearly every person I’ve ever met, whether in the military or civilian life, are cowards, and so am I.  We put up a good front, of course, and we do this by talking big, owning cool stuff, and belonging to… Read More »

Veterans Day 2021

By | November 11, 2021

[November 11, 2021]  For more than two centuries, ordinary men and women held their hands up as they were sworn to “protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”  From that small beginning, our Veterans began a journey that took them where very few go.

Men, Go from “Woke” to the Great Unwoke

By | November 3, 2021

[November 3, 2021]  Why can’t the U.S. military find good men for great leader jobs? You know why.  A decade of “woke” (political progressive activism) mandates, posturing, and propaganda has had its way with our young men.  The results are predictable.  Throw in suppression of free speech, destruction of the nuclear family, easy drugs, a victimhood culture, and… Read More »
