I know exactly what you mean. I nearly didn't post this at all, as I have refrained in quite a few other cases. But then, I have to look myself in the eye and say, "we at Freepertown aren't exactly retired army generals, stuck in front of the network cameras on the eve of the 1991 invasion to free Kuwait, and openly speculating on precisely where the spearheads will attack, and when." One can only hope that those persons don't blunder...
We are safely lost in the grass, immersed in the white noise of network chicks who, in their twenties, with decades of military experience, point out what the Marines are doing wrong. I fear, however, that Rush is in a unique category which gets noticed bigtime.
He would gladly, if I am any judge, participate in an artistically crafted campaign of disinformation if he thought it would misdirect the enemies of our country. But sometimes in the heat of another controversy, such as over our ports, I fear that undue attention may be called to areas that maybe are best left alone.
Fortunately, I am probably wrong, and only a few hundred reads will notice! And they are invariably the most loyal Americans. Americans who deserve to believe that our intelligence professionals come up with great intelligence... which is then compartmented, Gorelicked, and buried as unhelpful politically. Sorry- that was the last administration...
During the Cold war in the mid 80s my country created a new force based on the Home Guard, called the Home Defense Force.
There job if war broke out was to guard certain areas of military and economic importance freeing up regular and reserve troops.
They were all ex reservists.
I think that would be a good idea, I would join straight away.
On the other matter, if we locations under observation, its still a very risky business and do we have all of them.
Still going with my gut feeling that a pooch has been screwed to borrow A American saying.
