I hear you and have some reservations myself, hopefully we’re both wrong.

Hard to be wrong when all the evidence supports the position.

I used to like her. Bought her books and all. Shey says what we like hearing. Some of it is dead on. But she exposed who she is. No one made her do it. She simply isn’t the conservative icon she makes her money playing on TB and in bookstores.

And we should all look at her words in light of her actions.

Edit...TV.., but TB works as it too is a disease.

I have absolutely no confidence in the inquiry. The general has not been named, insofar as I am aware. I agree with your comment, Norm, that all the honorable generals have been purged.

Even if honorable, will the inquiring general have the gonads to make the career ending decision that Bergdahl should be tried as a deserter?

I am not optimistic.

I understand the career ending thing completely. That said, our founders had a bit more than retirement bennies to consider and under a far more dire situation. And they chose revolution.

I am sure many disagree. But speaking for myself, I have been financially comfortable and I have been much less so. I would far prefer sleeping and use of mirrors than being a liberal catspaw. Because ultimately, the General that tanks this will not be remembered fondly by history.

Maj. Gen. Kenneth Dahl was named a couple days ago, graduated USMA 1982. Don’t know anything about him.

Amen to that, FRiend! When I look in the mirror, I see a superannuated old hulk that I barely recognize, but the eyes still blaze with the fire of Loyalty, Patriotism and Honor.

Oh that name is not boding well for serious press coverage...

Thanks for the info, Jaz!

True that, don’t have any guess as to the odds of that happening.

Democrats should just stop talking about the military. Whenever they do, they sound like Republican men talking about rape.

wince ... but she's right.

My donation to the SBVfT was the best political contribution I ever made (Sarah a close second).

So was she lying then or is she lying now?

Telling the truth is so old-fashioned now, isn’t it? Perhaps Ann has another book to sell, so she is hoping to get the attention of some conservatives with this piece.

To me, it doesn’t matter much how far she runs right because it’s a GOProud/Romney lie.

Does she say good things? Sometimes. Do I trust her? Nope. When a Dem tells me water is wet, I check. When Coulter says it, no difference. She earned that with her actions.

Hey Jaz, this guy has been hamging around in your neck of the woods! :-)

“Maj. Gen. Kenneth R. Dahl is heading the investigation. He is deputy commanding general of 1st Corps at Joint Base Lewis McChord in Washington state.”

Hah! He sure is. I read that a day or two ago about him being the deputy at Lewis McChord, it’s less than 100 miles north of us. Him being a Ranger kinda fits in with Ft. Lewis.

I sure hope he conducts a straight forward honest inquiry on this, if so Bergdahl’s in a world of hurt.

I’m with you on hoping he plays it straight down the middle dealing with just facts and calling out and rejecting UCI when it attempts to raise it’s ugly head.

We learned from Mattis and Haditha than even the most highly regarded officers are vulnerable. Dahl has some challenging days ahead.

You nailed that, Haditha strung out for years when no charges should have been filed.

Challenging days ahead for Dahl is probably an understatement considering UCI, this administration and the CJCS.
