News From the Front

Major Pain gives us a good recounting of the efforts of his/our Marines in Afghanistan.
2/2 Second to None
OOOOOOOORAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's a small sample:

We have fought our way in through IED chains, small arms fire and RPG ambushes and in the end, the enemy runs like scared dogs or they can die for their country. The winner is the local nationals that have been forced to live in misery and under intimidation.

Now as we reinforce our efforts with civil affair projects, wells, wheat seed implementation etc, that will capitalize on the momentum of the clearing of the area, the enemy will not be able to regain the momentum and the average local national becomes stronger and stronger and they typical scumbag bad guy continues to become weaker.

Add two scoops of sugar and booya, you have the recipe for success. It just takes time America. Sure we can bomb them into the stone age, but then we will spend years rebuilding.

Time for a stoagy…

There's a lot more after the jump.

Attention Virginia Golfers 6 April 2009

and you know who you are.

My good friend Major Pain over at One Marines View, is knee-deep in the AnySoldier Charity Golf Tournament to be held at Quantico in April. 6 April to be precise. I would be remiss if I did not brow beat every one into at least sending a few dollars to help a great organzation.

Personally, I've never tried golf, (with the exception of a few trips to the local Putt-Putt), preferring instead to spend my free time convincing largemouth that the shiny thing with the points is really food.

But I have been told that golf is fun. I'll volunteer to open beer cans, (I hold an Expert Badge), and drive the golf cart.
