A new American Legion Post, in Japan. SFC Paul Smith Post 2222. H/t, Hunter D.

This news just tickled CAPT H to no end.

Bob Owens takes on Montel Williams. I admit, I've never watched Mr. Williams, not being much interested in the whole "heart on my sleeve" genre of TV. I wear mine on the web... -the Armorer

*********************************
Just for the sake of doing something different here's a brief round up of some non-Denizen blogs I haunt/lurk/torment

Harvey gives the latest Bad Family Introduction

Noble Eagle says Stupid is as Stupid Says- I couldn't agree more

Red Georgia Clay has a good reason why a Man needs a good Wife

Conservative UAW Guy has a run down of a School invasion by Christians.....read it you'll understand. And I agree with him.

Nobody Move! points out something that happened yesterday that the Larger-Blogosphere missed. Me included

That 1 Guy is showing us pictures of Angels. I never knew he was so religious. Must be trying to make up for all those Jeebus cracks.

Thunder and Roses has an excellent screed on Cowardice
and the Internet. (Possibly not work safe. Watch your 6)

Commissar posts a video with some guy going nuts....and all the Commenters go nuts....me as well.

Triticale mentions illegal...furniture?

Lair of the Gecko apparently is in a killing mood

Val lets her dog goose the Fayetteville Mayor. Some would argue her dog should have bit him instead :)

Digger talks about Hugh Hewitt being a pain to Tancredo.

Dude! Stope the /br abuse! Good round-up, though. - the Armorer

Suddenly - the government makes sense. Sorta. But only if you aren't reading this aloud or something. H/t, Jim C. -the Armorer

*********************************

Patrick Lasswell: A Dormant Hell in Iraq. In some respects, what the insurgents are striving to restore, and we are working to prevent - by *either* side. -the Armorer

*********************************
If you read over at John's joint ops bunker (milblogs), you might remember the lady who was asking for rocks from every state to build a memorial garden for her son. It's completed and the story is here.

Hillary says we need a new GI Bill of Rights. (I wonder, of course, why we don't just enforce the old one?)

And, for those who are jonesing for a little more video action, check out the rescue of a kidnapped victim and the reaction of his family or scroll down to see the Nebraska National Guard at War (recommended - mature for language).

And Soldiers' Angels European Command is chock full of good stuff this morning. In case you've forgotten about our allies, two German Sailors receive medals for Operation Enduring Freedom.

NATO Training Mission - Iraq: the Italians are there.

The french are there: ("les pistards" = ground crew?)

Finally, something that we missed here previously: Last surviving WWI Female US Veteran died at 109. I don't know where John keeps the bugler, but feel free to dance in memorium.

A Correction of a correction. (Think Kat inadvertently removed John's update with Harvey's post so I get to redeem myself by putting it back up here :) )

Harvey's Famous I am Huff Po a beautiful nose thumbing at Huffington Posts' rant regarding Malkin and the John Doe Project

Go Get'em Harv!

[Indeed! Rude wench! -the Armorer]

PS I demand a recount! - A Very Frazzled BS who is flailing around the yard to drag all the plants under cover like mad.....
Update: Too Late! It's here.......What happened to Spring?

Back in the day, when you could just kill people and break things without a note from a lawyer, they were pre-planned, but to the enemy, random, fires at known gathering points, road junctions, Main Supply Routes, assembly areas, etc - to keep the bad guy nervous that the world around him might start exploding at any minute.

*Not really relevant to today's operating environment, right? But, it *is*

The UAVs (oops, can't call 'em UAVs anymore - they're now Unmanned Aerial Systems... some Colonel got his Legion of Merit for that change...), er, um UAS's we fly over Afghanistan and Pakistan looking for targets of opportunity are a form of H&I fires, if you really want to parse it finely. We just have better sensors and fire control now.

I call the post that because it's random things posted by me and people I've given posting privileges to. It's also an open trackback, so if (Don Surber uses it this way a lot) someone has a post they're proud of, but it really isn't either Castle kind of stuff, or topical to a particular post, I've basically given blanket permission to use that post for that purpose. Another term of art that might be appropriate is "Free Fire Zone".
