Repubs and well, ideas

Read it. I personally believe there are still no new ideas here. It's a watered down rehash of the "Contract with America." It's comments like this, "Politicians in Washington have imposed an agenda that doesn’t reflect the priorities of the people. What’s worse, the most important decisions are made behind closed doors, where a flurry of backroom deals has supplanted the will of the people," that make me want to find Tom DeLay and kick him in the nuts. How can these people get away with making statements like this? I want a truly intelligent opposition, not one that gets away with making dishonest statements because the current administration is unpopular.

OMG...

The depressing and fatalistic aspect of COIN is shown here. Months, maybe years of hard work and "COIN" operations can be undone by five disturbed soldiers. You know, Army regulation states that "soldier' must be capitalized in army writing. Not for those guys.

Picture is from my deployment in winter, 2009.
