Say goodbye to the ugliest piece of shit ever built. To call this thing a truck is a stretch. It's a station wagon. And a damned ugly one at that. An eight year old could design something better looking.

one of our favorite hangouts in Fredericksburg Texas, we go through the southern part of Austin. We pass right by the Tesla plant, it's a huge rolling conglomerate of buildings. Needless to say, we see plenty of Teslas around the area and yes, the trucks are awkward looking and I've never seen any of them with any cargo in the back, which tells me they are pretty much useless.

someone in DC, although the Tomb is in Arlington, Va., doing their duty. I wonder how long the soldier will remain a guard, let alone on active duty?
Seriously, though, the man deserves a medal. If Drunkseth goes after him for performing his duty, there should be swift and severe consequences. That is the primary job of that regiment, and they do take it as seriously as it truly deserves.

...there's nothing he can be court martialed for. Even without it, I'm at a loss to think of what the charge might be. Maintaining order and an atmosphere of respect at the memorial is apparently a Federal (Army) Regulation. I heard one report that said the Pentagon issued a statement that he acted correctly.
Hegseth awarded him a Joint Service Commendation Medal today.

beautifully stentorian sound of that sentry's voice. It was amazing to see that it got such coverage in the MSM. Perhaps, just perhaps, some cracks are beginning to appear....

that I read a few AIPAC Republican websites just to see what their latest schemes might be.
I found that video on one of their websites. Commenters are so outraged, there are just no words.
Laughing at the place where people come to pay their respects to a soldier who was not welcomed home by his family and loved ones because of his inability to be identified is beyond disgraceful.
Have you been there? Have you watched the changing of the guards ceremony? If so, you left behind a tiny piece of your heart.
Hegseth apparently has no heart. Lethality--not legality, remember?

It was every bit as moving as was being in attendance at Pearl Harbor for the ceremonies on the 50th anniversary. You are absolutely right about leaving a piece of your heart behind there: these aren't just "ceremonies".
Hegseth is an utter embarrassment to our armed forces- and indeed, to the entire human race.

in the works to visit Pearl Harbor, then comes COVID. A local guy who was a friend of my Dad's, survived that attack. My Dad participated in the D-Day invasion. They shared many private talks.
A client/friend is an Army vet. He was recruited to join the Guard. They swear an oath that they will never drink alcohol as long as they live. My friend declined to join. He knew he would break that oath and dishonor the fallen.

got to go out to the Arizona Memorial, and make an observance. For the anniversary, they had a number of orchid blossoms, each attached to a little slip of tissue with the name of one of the men from the Memorial Wall handwritten on it. We each got to consign one single bloom to the waters over the ship, in silence.
The harbor around the quays on Battleship Row was beautiful, with all of those orchid blossoms from those who had gone before us floating over the site. We were especially honored in that, in our group, there were a number of Shinto kannushi participating as well. It was an astonishingly solemn occasion, with not a word said.
I hope that you get a chance to go, one day. Even if it isn't on the anniversary, the Memorial is certainly something to experience- just as is the Tomb of the Unknown.

He has the perfect
defense, at least for this administration:
He was just following orders. (;-)

Good afternoon/morning old buddy...
thanks for imagery and the interpretive video.
I'll be writing about that ship of fools tomorrow.
Good question.
