The Army Screwed Up at Walter Reed Army Medical Center

Yesterday Major General George Weightman was fired, and deservingly so for dereliction of duty. Today the Secretary of the Army Francis J. Harvey resigns over the substandard conditions for wounded Iraq soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Unfortunately the discovery of the issue was way too late.

My niece’s Grandfather is a huge liberal (I’ll call him Jerry from now on), I am sure he will want to see George W. Bush blamed for this. True he is overall accountable for the military, but do you blame the President when something goes wrong with your Social Security check too? I believe that a lot of the blame goes to the Army for not putting enough in the budget to maintain the facilities. I also believe that the blame has to go to our politicians for not making sure that our national defense comes first in the budget.

Jerry was upset that the soldier that complained to the press and the others that were staying in building 18 were punished in a minor manner. If he was ordered not to talk to the press, he should be punished. He violated an order and he broke the faith. By breaking the faith, he complained outside of the Army, he should have never have done that. The punishment was minor, just having to stand inspection daily. The only time you stand daily inspections after boot camp or training schools is under an informal or formal punishment. In this case it was an informal punishment.

Jerry has a hard time understanding that when you join the military you lose all of the rights that you defend for others. All of your rights and laws are covered under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). One that most people commonly misunderstand it the right to freedom of speech. If you are lawfully ordered to keep your mouth shut, you do not have the right to freedom of speech. The reason for this to belong in the UCMJ is that there is a need for military secrets. The biggest question would be was the authority appointed over Specialist Ruben Villalpando issuing a lawful order? That would be a good question.

In the end I believe that Specialist Ruben Villalpando, was fairly treated in his medical discharge. The Staff Sergeant over building 18 that was relieved was the one that got screwed. I have no doubt in my mind, that the Staff Sergeant repeatedly brought up the building was unsatisfactory. I see the root of the problem here is that the United States Congress has failed our military in not providing enough funds to maintain the top army hospital and its facilities.

Whether Nancy Pelosi of Dick Murtha likes it or not, we are at war. This war was authorized by congress twice. At this point in time they have two choices, provide all of the funds necessary for all of our troops or vote to withdraw funding for the war. The Democrats do not have enough votes to override a veto, nor do they have enough votes to get defunding the war through the senate. The only other option is to make sure that our troops get all of the tools they need to fight this war. By fully funding the war it also means that enough funds are budgeted for the hospitals and the VA.

One of my senators campaigned for re-election on that she got something done to help the veterans in the VA system. This goes back to the fact that they (congress) did not properly fund the VA and the military hospitals in the first place. One of the core promises is that if you get hurt, you will be taken care of, the Army has obliviously failed in that commitment. They have failed by not getting the money budgeted and maintained the assets required to carry out their duties.

I can see someone like this gaining the respect of other nations, and especially from their leaders, who refuse to do as she tells them ...or else. No thanks, my country deserves a better leader!

Reopening the Openly Gays In the Military Debate

As reported today in the Army Times Rep. Marty Meehan, D-Mass., reintroduces his Military Readiness Enhancement Act. The Act will do away with the Don’t Ask and Don’t tell policy and switch to openly allowing gays in the military. Rep. Meehan feels that now that there is a Democratic majority in the House and Senate he feels that they now have a chance to further open the door to allow gays in the military.

There is one problem that no one is mentioning about gays in the military will be the additional cost for quarters. The military does put men and women in the same barracks bay. So do you put straight Men in with gay Men in the same barracks bay or straight women with gay women? This would be the same as having straight men sharing the barracks and bathroom facilities with women or vice versa.

The problem becomes evident when you have a straight woman housed with gay women (or men). While deployed to NAS Cubi Point in 1987 my squadron had a case where there were two gay women shared a room in the barracks with one straight woman. The gay women enjoyed watching the very attractive straight woman, which was made uncomfortable. The gay women even groped the straight woman. How does the straight woman prove that she ahs been groped, when there are two people testifying to one. Both lesbians were eventually discharged for being documented as lesbians.

The branch of the service that would be the hardest hit by this policy would be the Navy. The cost would be the additional demands for heads (bathrooms for you land lubbers) and berthing (bunks).

The second problem with gays in the military is that it causes disruptions in unit harmony; the addition of the sexual aspect causes additional problems. Heck the problem of two guys interested in the same woman causes enough problems. By adding men and women or straight men and gay men or straight women and gay women it only complicates the matter even more.

Al Gore the Environmental Hypocryte

With Al gore out front leading the Global Warming cause, evidence is starting to surface that he is doing what he is asking everyone else to do. In 2006 his 10,000 squarefoot home in Nashville, TN used 191,000 Kilowatt hours per year, where as the average home in that area used 15,600. All of this is according to the Associated Press. As mentioned on conservative talk radio, Al Gore owns threes homes across the country. See Gore defends his carbon credentials. I just don’t buy that carbon neutral thing. Did you or did you not create the carbon. At the same time, I also believe that the amount of carbon that man creates does not really impact the earth.

GOD Unauthorized at the UN

The UN has declared that there is global warming and that people are to blame for it. I agree that there may be global warming, but it has very little to do with people. The earth has warmed up and even had an ice age, but it has very little to do with the inhabitants. The earth warms up by it's self and the other factor is GOD. There is nothing mentioned in the UN that GOD and the earth it's self may have a huge part in global warming. I will say a prayer for the UN, because my GOD and his Son Jesus Christ would want me to do so.

Bought a New Car...LOL

We bought a new Lexus, you know the one that parks itself but had to return to the dealer the next day because I couldn't get the radio to work. The salesman explained that the radio was voice activated. "Nelson," the salesman said to the radio. The Radio replied, "Ricky or Willie?" "Willie!" he continued and "On the Road Again" came from the speakers. Then he said, "Ray Charles!", and in an instant "Georgia On My Mind" replaced Willie Nelson. I drove away happy, and for the next few days, every time I'd say, Soggy Bottom Boys," I'd get beautiful bluegrass music, and if I said, Beatles," I d get one of their awesome songs. Yesterday, a couple ran a red light and nearly creamed my new car, but I swerved in time to avoid them. I yelled, "A-- Holes!" Immediately the French National Anthem began to play, sung by Jane Fonda and Barbara Streisand, backed up by Michael Moore and The Dixie Chicks, with John Kerry on guitar, Al Gore on drums, Dan Rather on harmonica, Nancy Pelosi on tambourine, Harry Reid on spoons, Bill Clinton on sax and Ted Kennedy on scotch. Gosh, I LOVE this car!!!

Al Gore and His Inconvenient Truth

Al Gore has betrayed our nation and played upon our fears. His promotion of his movie the Inconvenient Truth is based on an inconvenient truth that the global warming is caused by automobile exhausts. The inconvenient truth for Al Gore is that since 1930 the average temperature has only risen 0.7 degrees f. The mass increase in the number of automobiles has taken place during that time for only that small increase. I would argue that humans have very little impact on global warming. I would argue that the global warming is caused by nature.

Consensus is not science, it is only an opinion. Al’s movie is based on a consensus, decided by slanted opinions of scientists with an objective overlooking the truth. We need to remember that there were things refered to as the ice age in the history of the earth. Is it fair to assume that there were also warming/hot spells also? I would argue that is a fair assumption. I would argue that there is a higher power, that I refer to as God. I believe it is very arrogant to think we have more control over the climate and earth than God.

Al Gore has taken these opinions, made a movie and presented them as facts. Al Gore has taken this movie and pushed to get it shown throughout the public schools and scared our childern. Al Gore has betrayed the truth and played upon the fears of our children. He has scared the children that mommy and daddies cars are killing the polar bears.

If anything it is not momy and daddies cars that are killing the polar bears is would be all of the private jet flights that Al Gore is taking all over the country. Each of his private cross country jet flights consume more gas than the average car owner does in one year.

One last point, Al Gore’s wealth is from OIL Stocks inheritied from his daddy.

Barack Hussein Obama Doesn't Understand Iraq

But Wants to be The Commander In Chief

Barack Hussein Obama (Hussein really is his middle name) does not understand what is a success in Iraq is, so he calls it a defeat. When Tony Blair announced that the British will be withdrawing troops from Iraq, Barack Hussein Obama claimed that President Bush should follow Tony's lead and leave Iraq. Prime Minister Blair is withdrawing troops from that part of Iraq because it had been stabilized. Barack Hussein Obama either didn't understand what was going on or he is trying to deceive the American public.

How can you be a Commander in Chief, when you despise your very own military? The United States had the same problem under Bill Clinton, Bill and Hillary hated the military. The incident in the movie Blackhawk Down happened because Bill refused to allow the needed material to fight that battle. This is the same practice that the Democrats are trying to use on Iraq. Congressional Democratic Leaders have boasted that they intend to limit how we fight and what we use in Iraq. The end result will be that soldiers will die because of this.

Terrorist leaders have boasted that the United States does not have the will to survive a long drawn out battle. If the Democratic Party has their way, they will quit the war. Quitting is losing, even though we can win it. The Mainstream Media and the Liberal Left are trying to judge the war on the body count. The body count is less than one year of training deaths under Jimmy Carter.

As my liberal father-in-law (I didn't realize that he was a Regan Democrat) puts it, so what if there is another terrorist attack on the US, they won't hurt me or my family. He can not be any more wrong than that. Another large scale terrorist attack on the US will significantly hurt the economy, let alone a bunch of more dead Americans. Michigan’s economy does not need any more negative help; it sucks enough on its own. I can see that Barack Hussein Obama sees a terrorist attack on the US the same way as my liberal father-in-law, only a few will get hurt.

The real threat is that these Islamic fundamentalist see it as their responsibility to eliminate all of the non-believers of their faith. They see non-believers of their faith as non-Muslim and non-Arabic. If you were not born Arabic, you are not a good enough Muslim. This reminds me o f Hitler, which this region sided with during World War II.

So why does Barack Hussein Obama campaign in support of this behavior? My best guesses are:

1. 
   The Liberal Left provides the most money for his campaign.
2. 
   Barack Hussein Obama is one of the most Liberal Senators that hates that the United States is a world super power.
   
3. Barack Hussein Obama can not wait to see the military lose again.
   

Traitor is about to be honored - She Really IS a Traitor

This is for all the kids born in the 70's who do not remember, and didn't have to bear the burden that our fathers, mothers and older brothers and sisters had to bear. Jane Fonda is being honored as one of the "100 Women of the Century," BY BARBRA WALTERS.

Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still countless others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country, but specific men who served and sacrificed during Vietnam.

The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot:

The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat. In 1968, the former Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a POW in Ho Lo Prison the "Hanoi Hilton."

Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJ's, he was ordered to describe for a visiting American "Peace Activist" the "lenient and humane treatment" he'd received.

He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and was dragged away. During the subsequent beating, he fell forward on to the camp Commandant's feet, which sent that officer berserk.

In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from double vision (which permanently ended his flying career) from the Commandant's frenzied application of a wooden baton.

From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4E's):

He spent 6 years in the "Hanoi Hilton", the first three of which his family only knew he was "missing in action". His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed and clothed routine in preparation for a "peace delegation" visit. They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that they were alive and still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his Social Security Number on it, in the palm of his hand.

When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging snippets like: "Aren't you sorry you bombed bombed babies?" and "Are you grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?" Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of paper. She took them all without missing a beat. At the end of the line and once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs, she turned to the officer in charge and handed him all the little pieces of paper. Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Colonel Carrigan was almost number four but he survived, which is the only reason we know of her actions that day.

I was a civilian economic development advisor in Vietnam, and was captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in 1968, and held prisoner for over 5 years. I spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one year in a cage in Cambodia; and one year in a "black box" in Hanoi. My North Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium in Ban me Thuot, South Vietnam, whom I buried in the jungle near the Cambodian border. At one time, I weighed only about 90 lbs. (My normal weight is 170 lbs.)

We were Jane Fonda's "war criminals.

"When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi, I was asked by the camp communist political officer if I would be willing to meet with her. I said yes, for I wanted to tell her about the real treatment we POWs received... and how different it was from the treatment purported by the North Vietnamese, and parroted by her as "humane and lenient."

Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees, with my arms outstretched with large steel weights placed on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane.

I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda soon after I was released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV. She never did answer me.These first-hand experiences do not exemplify someone who should be honored as part of "100 Years of Great Women." Lest we forget..." 100 Years of Great Women" should never include a traitor whose hands are covered with the blood of so many patriots.

There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Hanoi Jane's participation in blatant treason, is one of them. Please take the time to forward to as many people as you possibly can it will eventually end up on her computer and she needs to know that we will never forget.

Bloggers note: The movie "Hanio Hilton" is a good view of how this happened. I had heard all of these stories when I attended the Navy SERE School. I have the bias to believe that they are true and factual. I always thought that the Saturday Night Live news skit when they refered to the co-anchor, "Jane you ignorant slut," that they were talking about Jane Fonda. I still think that Jane and Ted Turner were a couple made for each other and desever each other.

The problem is that Barbra is getting more blatent in her bias and point of view. This is evidenced by her continuation of Rosie O'Donnel on Barbra's show the view.

Now This Was Cool

The plane is a US Navy P3-C Mod, belonging to Patrol Squadron 48 (VP-48) and was identified as plane SF-04 when the picture was taken. The picture was taken after I left the Squadron in June of 1989 and prior to being decommissioned on 23-May-1991. While assigned to VP-48 I was a member of Crew Four as an Aviation Anti-Submarine Warfare Operator (Acoustic) Petty Officer Third Class. While in the Reserves, was promoted to Second Class Petty Officer.
