At least someone with some sense is stating the obvious. Of course this decree is a threat to the mission and strategy in Afghanistan, and it is also a threat to President Obama’s plan and future election. He, along with his party in the US depend upon a strategy in Afghanistan that will help […]
This is cool. I remember going to AP Hill when I was a young Boy Scout for a Jamboree and it was quite the experience. But we definitely did not have a guy like Secretary Gates speaking at our Jamboree.
So with that said, here is the speech he gave at this year’s Jamboree. It […]
Could this signal the next phase of the drug war down south? Because once these guys get into competition with each other over whose car bomb is bigger, more deadly, and used to greater effect than the other guy, I think we will see a level of violence that will equal Iraq or […]
It is important to add some context to this thing before you read it. This letter was basically Washington’s argument for paying his troops and raising a professional standing army. That militias were not dependable or effective against professional forces and the war is taking it’s toll on the current ‘volunteers’. […]
Thanks to Andreea for sending me this information. I love it, but I don’t think this is as good as the Grayson quote. It’s close, and worthy of mention here on the blog. I wonder if she even said anything to her PSD team, like a thank you or something? -Matt

Bravo to Presidential Airways and Xe for a job well done! As for my message to Rep. Grayson….. I am sure glad you survived Niger. Thanks to the courageous work of contractors, you can now make it back home for that next protest with Code Pink. lol -Matt

The way he worded this quote and the points brought up are certainly compelling. That private industry is a competitor with government, over the ninety percent of assets out there that are privately owned. Think about it this way, would you rather have the TSA guarding your business, or a company like Triple Canopy? […]
I love it. If these miscreants lack the discipline to fall for such a simple thing, then we should be trash talking all over the country. If these guys are so proud and idiotic as to break their silence and cover to answer to something like this, then we should be implementing Operation […]
Doug sent me this quote, and I thought it was awesome. We have reinforced this idea within our troops and within our law enforcement, that they must work as a team to accomplish goals and missions. And I agree, that is essential and a no brainer. But what happens when you are alone, or […]
Double wow. So we have the UN, and NATO both having their top leaders supporting the concept of using Private Security Companies? Somewhere, a pig is flying over a frozen hell. These things happen in three’s you know. lol -Matt
