Michael Fumento doesn't like a plank of a political platform. The "Four Truths" are mentioned. I comment about it at my place.
At one point I was a darn good bus driver for SEALs. Today I do staff work that SEALs don't want to be doing (trust me on this one, eh?). At one point in the future I'm going to be a good potential support cadre for SEALs doing something else. At no time would anyone ever mistake me for a SEAL. Lowering the bar to make a guy like me supposedly finish BUD/S would be farcial, and that's the kind of thing you'd be forced into when saying you're going to rapidly double their numbers. Proposing such means either you've found a way around the SOF truths, which is not bloody likely, or you are talking out of your hat.
How about some more Christmas? I know of a place that needs a little Christmas... now.Well, if you watch the news, you know we have guys deployed. 3ID is deployed and deploying... Some of our guys are already in Ramadi. When one of the wives asked her husband what could she send him... what did HE need? His response was that he needed nothing for himself, but he could use all the children's clothing and shoes he could get... he was distraught at the level of poverty these children experience.
So here's my challenge:
Please get out one (or two... or three) of your US Postal Services Flat Rate boxes... take it to your local Kmart or WalMart or Target or wherever... and buy as much children's clothing and shoes and socks (a small toy, too) as you can fit in that box (boxes!) You can also send gently used clothing and shoes -- any size... send it all!
So I told this wonderful and caring wife to tell that wonderful and caring soldier that I'd be delighted to do what I could... and I am asking all of you to do what you can. Support our troops and their mission... and their big old hearts...
Mail your box (don't forget that dang customs form!!) to:
Sgt. Dinkins, Charles
TF 5/7 CAV A Co 3/69AR
1st PLT C Co 2/7IN
APO AE 09346Please email this info to all your friends & family... ask your church or civic group to help... and feel free to post it up on blogs and forums. "Our Guys" are asking for some help... let's be sure they can feel our love!
