I feel as if I was "tricked" when I joined the Army. I had no idea I would have to run 20 miles a week at 0 stuipd 30 in the morning, ruck heavy packs on my back, survive cold weather, rain, snow, etc. But you know what, I shut my mouth and did what I was told. Looking back on the whole thing, it was the things I was "tricked" into doing which prepared me to lead my soldiers across the Kuwiat/Iraq border and bring them home to their parents without any extra holes in their bodies. Thank you Uncle Sam for "tricking" me.

Weren't we all "tricked!?" I was "tricked" into visiting the world and having enough adventures to last 10 lifetimes.

And if active duty wasn't enough....as you can see...I still get around!

Good on you my brother....and Hoo-Yah!

Move America Forward’s attorney Jim Sweeney took depositions from ten people who were assaulted by CodePink, International A.N.S.W.E.R. and socialists who showed up en masse.

The City Council has been notified by fax that we are filing a federal lawsuit for deprivation of our civil rights. We didn’t start this fight, but we are damn sure gonna finish it.

The pro-troops demonstration is still going strong at 7:30 p.m. PST, with all streets around the Berkeley City Council closed off as the CodePinkos continue to receive preferential treatment by the Berkeley PD.

Move America Forward’s sound permit was turned off at 5:00 in the afternoon, while the Pinkos were allowed to use their system to sing Kumbaya and other 60’s peace chants.

Berkeley, the birthplace of free speech, is now officially the center of intolerant hatred for anyone who sticks up for the men and women who are fighting and dying to protect THEIR rights.

Before our sound system was nearly sabotaged, a young man posing as a pro-troop supporter asked to speak to the crowd. I allowed him to talk (about his family’s ‘service’)when he started spewing obscenities about the ‘illegal, immoral, unjust war’ . I grabbed the microphone back, and he tried to clobber me with it.

This anti war types are so violent and rabid ...... the should all be put on Valiums and take a deep breath .........
