Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
The caltrop is a deceptively simple but highly effective weapon that has remained relevant for over 2,500 years. First recorded in 5th century BC Greece and Persia, caltrops were designed to stop cavalry charges by injuring the hooves of horses.
We, the competitors, spectators, and lifelong fans of marksmanship, have already voted—with our feet, our wallets, and our participation. We want a future with meaningful national championships, access to historic national trophies, and a legitimate path to international teams like the Palma, Dewar, Pershing, and Roberts.
As Hap Rocketto might say—half-seriously, half with a twinkle in his eye—“the only thing better than a Distinguished badge is two of them.” Now, accomplished rifle shooters finally have the chance.
Did we hit Iran hard enough before we stopped? This is always the question, anytime you engage in diplomacy, warfare, or a combination of the two. When it becomes necessary to do something, the question is “How much?”
In the Army’s culture of combat arms prestige and tactical bravado, few branches fly under the radar quite like Air Defense Artillery (ADA). While not the most neglected, nor the flashiest, ADA has long carried the reputation of being a “quiet” branch — literally and figuratively.
The French have a term to depict, to designate, a hinge moment – a turning point in history: Moment Charnière. Some such decisive/earth-shattering incidents that come to mind: Bestowing the Ten Commandments, the birth of Jesus, and more recently the dropping of atomic bombs that decimated Japanese cities.
Secretary of Defense Hegseth is restoring military readiness and we have “discovered” that Affirmative Action has failed both America and blacks. We need to understand how, hire by hire, promotion by promotion, it got this bad.
A focus on DEI rather than merit has infiltrated the military through a back door.
Those zany Twelver’s over in Iran believe that Muhammad al-Mahdi – the 12th Iman – is alive and well, working behind the scenes to deliver ultimate worldwide justice … as defined by the guy in the black robe and turban currently hiding in a bunker at an undisclosed location.
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.
The “Get Real” gang discusses whether or not a person who votes for Democrat politicians is a true Christian, especially those who are promoting or allowing the most horrideous forms of child abuse, as well as bombing Iran’s nuclear sites.
We finally Have An Update That Likely Confirms That It Is Not Going To Happen
On Saturday night, I contended the FAFO War ended with the USA doing the one thing Israel could not do, and that was bust the bunkers. I was right.
Well, we are a republic, with a constitutionally organized separation of powers. In the USA, to start a new war, the Congress declares it after taking a proper vote.
Once again, President Trump has succeeded where his predecessors half-heartedly tried. Iran now is out of the nuclear bomb-making business.
Often you have a critical task, but only bad options. So it has come to pass in Iran.
Our operation in Iran should have a ripple effect on our other largest foes – Russia and China. Each is quite invested in a strong Iran; so each is negatively affected by a destroyed Iran… or by an Iran which is no longer controlled by the repressive/evil government of the past 45 years.
Ah, the United States Army. Always on the cutting edge of 1980s technology. In the aftermath of 9/11, our leaders had a choice: modernize the Army’s ground combat systems or spend the next two decades playing Whac-A-Mole in the Middle East.
The parade for the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday went well. It was a great showcase for the U.S. Army. It’s needed greatly because the Army is last among the Services in self-promotion and politics.
In 2025, America faces an urgent and undeniable threat along its southern border—one that demands a bold, decisive military response. The drug cartels operating in Mexico can no longer be treated as mere criminal organizations.
