This was a very interesting little article that Doug sent me the other day. The Slate took this one off of the various other blogs that have done similar stories about this topic. It is kind of common sense to me, that a military that can stay awake longest and be fully functional will […]

Thanks to Doug for sending me this article. I think it is great that the military is transitioning towards alternative energy sources. It also makes strategic sense for our military to break the oil habit. We are a slave to the oil that comes from the middle east and elsewhere, and that certainly […]
This is an interesting one, because Bob has been missing since last year. I am glad that the FBI is getting involved on this and putting out the word. Hopefully they will get some movement on this. It is possible that this could be an isolated case, but more than likely this is a […]
Ok, I am sure I will get a lot of crap over this one, but I thought it was intriguing. As ridiculous as it sounds and looks, I imagine that it is incredibly difficult to think between rounds of boxing to play the chess game. And imagine replacing boxing with mixed martial arts, and now […]

Ok, I know it is all about politics, if you want to change a weapons system like this. But something about this just pisses me off. Why is the future of our armed force’s fighting rifle, in the hands of some aides to some politicians in DC? I understand the politics of the matter, […]
