Gays in the military?

For the present my posts will be at Blackfive. Today is more on the ongoing discussion about gays serving in the military. Gen. Shalikashvili has come out (ha) in favor of gays serving openly and I agree with him.... >>>

Going to a better place

No not a euphemism, a reality. The whole fambly is heading to the islands for a little Caribbean R&R. That's mine, my sister's, my brother's, my Grandma and my parents who made this happen. So the next week will be spent at... >>>

A coalition of moderates in Iraq?

Military matters

An insider's look at politics and national security from Madison's favorite hawk.

I spent 14 years in the military and I was a Special Forces Weapons Sergeant, which means now I am an ex- Green Beret. I still have many friends in the Special Ops and Intel worlds and will occasionally pass along interesting info from them. Uncle J is the persona I use to vent my frustrations regarding the fools and infidels running rampant on this planet. Military Matters will focus on issues of National Security, International Relations and all things related to the military.

Military Matters

My best friend LST takes my wife on her first skydive. Blue skies, my brother.

Project Valour-IT, in memory of SFC William V. Ziegenfuss, provides voice-controlled laptop computers to wounded Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines recovering from hand and arm injuries or amputations at home or in military hospitals. Operating laptops by speaking into a microphone, our wounded heroes are able to send and receive messages from friends and loved ones, surf the 'Net, and communicate with buddies still in the field without having to press a key or move a mouse.
