[Radix]

You speak in an interesting language.

You do make me think!

[fatima]

Bump.

[Ronin]

Good question. I was wondering the same, but if I had to guess I would say it was a case of an Army recruiter who needed to make his quota and was willing to fudge a little on the paperwork to get a warm body.

It's happened before. It will happen again.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Thanks for the Ping Linda- Good work Dio!

[MEG33]

Excellent!Thanks for the ping!

Sleeping Soldiers

 

Let sleeping soldiers lie,
men who, while they snore and sigh,
dream about you
safe and warm
behind their armor and guns.

Let sleeping soldiers lie,
men who, as they say goodbye,
will always pack their gear and go
to where the danger runs.

Training hard, and laughing harder,
partaking of life's full larder,
a soldiers' lot is all for those
who think the cost is cheap.

Eager hearts, whose boldness longing,
with their fellowship belonging,
shoulder arms to hold your freedom
for such, never weep!

For gladly marching, to dreadful daring,
any price or burden bearing,
keeping such as you in safety,
loved ones wait to welcome home,

Heroes' triumph, victory gallant,
accolades for virtuous talent,
our best reward, to see you smiling,
stronger love than song or poem.

~ an original poem by JSR  "Old Sarge"

Confederate battle flag and an automatic rifle? In Everett?

Sorry Puget Sound FReepers, but there's a lot of wierdos living just beyond the shores of Lake Washington.

[Ben Hecks]

Thanks for another great photo collection! In the raid photo shot with a night vision device it looks like the troop on the left has a riot gun strapped to his hip.......it tends to give the wearer a certain degree of authority.

[PhilDragoo]

Bump for bagging bad guys foreign and domestic.

[Defender2]

Thanks Very Much For This, Ragtime Cowgirl :-)

[MaeWest]

A "Thank you, Dio" BUMP!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Always welcome, Defender2. (^:

[Cindy]

[Alamo-Girl]

Bump!

[Chris Talk]

This poor guy Anderson had a lot of potential, maybe still does. Law enforcement has stopped him before his problems really killed anyone or did them any harm.

Whoever raised him has to answer for how he found Guns and then Mohammed before he ever found God or Jesus Christ.
A lethal combination.

Now only Jesus can help him, one hates to see a life utterly gone to waste like this, of course in the Mideast there are tens of millions...

[eleni121]

May I say simply ---- thanks!

[Humidston]

Thanks, Dio! Amazing photos, as usual.

[windchime]

Bump!

[E.G.C.]

BTTT!!!!

[ovrtaxt]

What an uneducated turd. The flag of my family's struggle for freedom being used for such a purpose. I can't stand this kind of crap.

It figures that he bought the lie of Islam.

[Reborn]

Excellent, Diogenesis! Those pics of the Iranian train explosion are very telling. I wonder if this isn't a preview of the whole Middle East soon?

[Marysecretary]

He was a follower of Allah, right? I'm beginning to think that the armed forces need to weed muslims out of the services only because they are loyal to their own. Sad but rrue.

[Marysecretary]

He's such a handsome young man, too. Jesus can redeem him and make all things new. I hope he realizes that. We need to pray for him.

[Ronin]

I agree. In fact, they have made it easy for us.

The recent case where a Iman told a Muslim that it was "legal" to lie when they take a citizenship oath because Islamic Law takes precedence over any oath proves that a Muslim's oath is worthless.

That being the case, they have no business in the armed forces and should be quietly but firmly escorted out.

[Marysecretary]

It's a necessity, unfortunately. We've already had two or three cases where this is true. M

[Rightly Biased]

BTTT for truth and freedom

[BOBTHENAILER]

Superb job, as usual. Thanks for your efforts.

[blackie]

We are winning ~ the bad guys are losing ~ al-Qaeda and the democrats are sad ~ very sad!

~~ Bush/Cheney 2004 ~~

War Of Enduring Freedom ~ Bump!

The 8,900-tonne Maritime Self-Defence Force transport ship Osumi leaves the port of Muroran on the northern island of Hokkaido, Japan on Friday, February 20, 2004. Osumi and destroyer Murasame left for Kuwait on Friday carrying military vehicles and equipment for Japanese troops taking part in the country's controversial mission to Iraq.

BanZai! Uh, never mind.
