Nuts for Nugent: the Berry Brigade

Part one of a series. Oh, those wacky Pentagon people. Sometimes they get a little overzealous, like puppies with drone bombs. (CLICK TO EMBIGGEN) Magic Love Hose makes comics for OsborneInk.com. He lives in Canada where he can lob grenades … Continue reading
John McCain Thinks He Speaks For The Military
I am so glad that John McCain isn’t president: There is no military person that doesn’t believe we need a residual force in Iraq far in excess of the size that apparently is being planned. In Libya, that conflict could … Continue reading
