The sporadic musings of a middle aged man who isn't exactly happy with the direction America is taking today....

There will be no rioting. Nothing will burn...
A black man shoots and kills two white people; reporters, just doing their job. But, there will be no rioting. No signs being held saying, “White Lives Matter”. No calls for flags to come down. No blaming the black community. No calls for social justice. Because, every mature, rational, logical thinking adult knows that the suspect, and the suspect alone, is responsible for his actions and is accountable. And in all likelihood he is insane.

Participation ribbons...
I have been pretty quiet on the subject of women in combat, women in Marine Infantry Officer Basic Course, women in Ranger school...
I won't lie. I don't like the idea of women in the ground combat specialties. Lot's of reasons. The most important reason is maintaining unit cohesion, good order and discipline. None of y'all are stupid. You can figure it out on your own. Even if you have never been a Grunt. Y'all can pretend that it won't be a problem.
Just like Bradley Manning and Bruce Jenner pretend that they are girls.
They aren't. They never will be.

It is the best article on the subject that I have read to date.
Was it tough for them? Sure. I won't take that away from them.
Make of it what you will.
