GG can't help himself. He will do/say/write any lie to cast PBO in a negative light, even if he knows instinctively that it's BS. IMO, his...Re: Glenn Greenwald Hates the Constitution

Greenwald doesn't care how much of a racist/bigot Paul is proven to be. He has an irrational hatred for POTUS. Wonder why?Re: Glenn Greenwald Hates the Constitution

Glenn Greenwald needs to get off the Ron Paul/Koch/Libertarian teet. Hasn't he read the Anonymous "Ron Paul Hearts Neo-Nazis at Home and Abr...Re: Glenn Greenwald Hates the Constitution

Let's not forget Glenn's mindset in the aftermath of 9/11, the very attack that directly led to the AUMF: "This is not to say that I was no...Re: Glenn Greenwald Hates the Constitution

Morning Awful: Grave Problems
At last, Arlington National Cemetery can give the complete casualty figures of neglect and mismanagement: An accountability task force has photographed every burial marker and uploaded the information to a database where it was double-checked against more than 500,000 paper … Continue reading
Morning Awful: Scumbag Hates the Troops
Via ThinkProgress, a study of psychological projection: deadbeat dad and representative Joe Walsh (R-IL) is spoiled, pampered, unfocused, and clueless. He doesn’t understand America and advocates anti-American solutions to problems. So when he calls veterans in the Occupy movement “socialists” … Continue reading
Morning Awful: NASCAR Fans
It’s not a sport known for arugula, but I’m floored by this scene. Booing the First Lady as she supports veterans? That requires an extraordinary lack of class and decorum. Given the force’s insistence on respect for the Commander-in-Chief, maybe … Continue reading
Lone Marine Versus NYPD, Flawless #OWS Victory
This is why it’s so important to have veterans take part in a movement. Via p0pkult.

Morning Awful: Linguist Seamen in FLPP Flap
The Pentagon last stopped paying linguists in the early 1990s, when I met dozens of Russian, German, Polish and Hungarian language speakers learning Arabic to keep their jobs in the Army. Now the Navy’s Japanese, Korean, Haitian Creole, Vietnamese, Cantonese … Continue reading
Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen, Veterans: WAKE UP
The VA case backlog is over 700,000. Fake veterans charities have scammed Americans out of millions of dollars. The catfood commission not only wants to cut Social Security, it recommends a three-year freeze on military pay, housing, and food allowances … Continue reading
Golden Chickenhawk Award
As many readers know, I have little patience for fake veterans. I include in that category the Gulf War cook who regales me with the tale of how he parachuted into Baghdad and killed twelve Republican Guards with a coat-hanger. … Continue reading
John Allen Mohammed Checks Out
I was in uniform and among a small crowd of very motivated soldiers when it was announced that Timothy McVeigh had been put to death. The sound we made was something like the Spartans responding to Leonidas in 300. Soldiers … Continue reading
Veterans Day Blog
Regular readers will remember that telephone town hall I referred to last week — the one in which a plurality of veterans said that health care costs are their biggest problem. Today, HuffPo reports: According to a study released by … Continue reading
