President Barack Obama has chosen not to authorize the release of photos of a dead Osama bin Laden.  The Hypocrite in Chief said that he was concerned about offending Muslims but in the past has had no such compunction about his actions doing the same to U.S. military families. In an interview with CBS News, [...]

The news came just as I was getting ready to head to bed last night – a team of U.S. Navy SEALs has killed Osama Bin Laden.  It is an exciting moment in American history that finally brings some closure to what has been an open wound on our nation for nearly 10 years. Like [...]

Unfortunately I have been extremely busy and unable to write lately – something which I hope to correct next week.  In the meantime though, I did want to take time out to acknowledge all of my fellow veterans and wish them a happy Veterans Day.  For those that haven’t served, the video below is but [...]
