If all the news does is depress you, and you'd like to have a bright and shiny little military moment - click here. That's the archive to the Story Thus Far (start at the bottom and work up) regarding bringing the Jolly Rodgers home.
The saga isn't over. If you've been following this, save that link, and you'll have access to all the posts (and only those posts for you who hate the rest of the site...) regarding the Rodgers and her return.
I had a lot of fun doing this. I am fortunate to have been given this opportunity.
Unrelated note... the Mexican Navy flies Mi-8's.
For most of my career Mi-8's were... targets.
So, it just seemed natural to track 'em when I was testing the training gear on the twin 40's....
In case there was any doubt, the US has been under attack for 25 years... and we're still trying to wake up some Americans to that fact...
That's what we think we heard on the 11th of September 2001 and maybe it was, but I think it should have been "Get Out of Bed!" In fact, I think the alarm clock has been buzzing since 1979 and we have continued to hit the snooze button and roll over for a few more minutes of peaceful sleep since then.
We are fighting an enemy that doesn't think twice about blowing up civilians and the planes they ride on... or the buildings they live and work in... schools where our children should be safe... hospitals that should be havens... They don't care. Understand? They.don't.care. They just want you dead.

Until election day..Get your absentee ballot now! Heck, we helped steal the 2000 election, maybe we can do it again! I ordered two!
The Chicago Tribune says Hizballah is inspiring Hamas, and that is most certainly the case.
But Hamas loves martyrs, and I say Hizballah Is On The Ropes, though you'd never know it from media reports. Little time for analysis between Qana images, after all.
Why do I say Hizballah is on the ropes? Because the IAF(Israeli Air Force) has been obliterating re-supply convoys convoys from Syria once they reach Hizballistan and the terrorists are beginning to starve for resources.
Assad, for all his banter, loves his palaces more than Nasrallah. He also knows his army would be dispatched and discarded with far greater ease than Hizballah and Iran is simply trapped on the wrong side of the Persian Gulf.
Once again, logistics determines the course of protracted warfare.
You have probably been impressed, as I have been, with the devotion of The Old Guard's Caisson Platoon in the performance of its sad duties. You may not have known, however, about this new effort to help the living as well as honor the dead.
As if things weren't dangerous enough overseas. Now this!
I'd been wondering about whether Israel had/would use its Arrow Defense System in the current conflict.
The CDI recently published this interesting article that discusses Arrow's limited ability to intercept short-range rockets.
