Art Cole’s Monthly Review
Here’s a short look back on the past month, by Colonel Art Cole, USAF (Ret).
Art Cole
America Is In A Turbulent Time
Why do anti-ICE groups call murderers, pedophiles and rapists their “neighbors”? Many ”blue” mayors have told their police departments not to cooperate with ICE.
The Tyranny of the Minority
The once champions of working class America now hold working class Americans hostage—also the military, WIC, SNAP, the Federal Workers Union, aviation, etc. We are getting a first-hand look at the tyranny of the minority due to the 60 vote threshold
There Are Irreconcilable Differences
There is a huge difference between Conservative Republicans and the ever-increasingly violent left now executing a hostile takeover of the Democrat Party.
August 10th
On August 10, 1961 the military began using a defoliant in the deltas and jungles of Vietnam. It ‘s intended use was to eliminate the forest cover and crops for the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese.
Bunker Busting
I am extremely proud of those crews that took part in one of the most successful operations in recent history. It is a testament to the men and women–the bombers, tankers, fighters and their supporting comrades—that live by Isaiah 6:8. Pray we always have Americans such as these.
“These are our people” say the Dems
There is currently a hue and cry from Democrats about “habeas corpus” and “due process” for illegal aliens. But the Party that caused the problem has no solution for the problem.
Fear and Fulfillment
The progressive Left casts aspersions about his moral character yet Clinton’s “spice of wickedness” didn’t seem to bother them.
Discrimination, Entitlement, Inequality is Foundering
DEI is currently being thrown overboard in corporate boardrooms, federal agencies, and academia. For the military I would submit it’s a feel good program that forces conformity and seriously degrades unit cohesiveness and war fighting skills.
Whatever It Takes–Maybe
I stopped at a red-light and saw this, “PRESIDENT BIDEN, STOP THE GAZA GENOCIDE,” just after it was reported that 12 Druze children were killed by a Hezbollah rocket targeting civilians
An Open Letter to the U.S. Air Force
Today we wonder why patriotism is at a low for younger people. We wonder why we can’t meet recruiting or retention goals. Why our senior leaders apparently don’t understand what unit cohesiveness is all about.
July 13, 2024
July 13, 2024. An assassination attempt was made on Donald Trump. March 30, 1981. Ronald Reagan. October 14, 1912. Theodore Roosevelt. June 14, 2017. Republican Congressional baseball practice.
Western Civ On the Brink
Who stands for the West? “Hey, Hey, Ho, Ho. Western civ has got to go.” (Jesse Jackson, Stanford University, 1992)
America Last?
On national policy when questioned, “What do you consider the greatest concern at the national level?” The answers below came from 126 Republicans, 58 Democrats, and 69 Unaffiliated.
A Dysfunctional America
Look at what has occurred, and what is occurring. The last three years appear to me to be a good study guide for “Marxism/Leninism 101.” No joke.
America We Hardly Knew Ye
Joe Biden is the epitome of his disregard, and unforgivable to those of us who served; he holds his “oath of office” in contempt.
PART II: The Age of Presidents and the Holy Grail, 1971-1991
Finding the “arms race” particularly expensive, Russia and the US entered into a period of give and take. And in the spirit of giving, when Nixon made a historic visit to China, the US dropped our objection to China’s presence in the UN, and China appeared on the world stage.
The Cold War in Retrospect
When I was in War College in 1991 at the conclusion of the Cold War, it was reported that a Russian general purportedly said, “You have lost the best enemy you ever had.” Perhaps, looking back, the words were indeed prophetic.
Cliff’s Notes; Vietnam War
Well, it’s been 50 years from when I left the Vietnam War behind so allow me to tell you an abbreviated history of our most flawed and fabled war.
Hamas/ISIS/Hezbolla-Iran-Supported Wolves at the Door
Supporting Hamas, ISIS & Hezbolla, Iran-Supported Wolves at the Door, who slaughtered (for what better word is there) innocents without cause, is beyond the pale., beyond humanity.
