[May 18, 2023] As I put pen to paper (yes, the old-fashioned way), Memorial Day is only a few days away.

This means taking the good with the bad, learning that the human way… Read More »
[May 17, 2023] The answer to the question is “no,” we don’t treat people fairly, we have never treated everyone fairly, and never will for many reasons.

[May 14, 2023] As we walked out of a U.S. Marine Major General’s office, a good friend told me, “There are too many army Generals in this world.” This General was a real SOB, but he got the job done, which was a valuable skill.

[May 8, 2023] On Earth Day 2022, U.S. President Joe Biden claimed he wants “all Pentagon vehicles to be electric by 2030.” Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm reiterated this objective a few days ago. Those who are sane know that the U.S. military can’t convert to all-electric vehicles in seven years. It’s a breathtakingly foolhardy idea. “We’re going to… Read More »
[May 5, 2023] My advice, Don’t Look Up at Seagulls. Men and women have different, often fundamentally different outlooks on life about those elements that affect us.

[May 2, 2023] There are very few truly creative people in the U.S. Army or any military service. There is an axiom in the military, “Follow orders.” Now that may seem overly simplistic, but those who can follow orders, focus on the work assigned to them, and ignore outside distractions are the ones who best succeed in the… Read More »
[May 1, 2023] The recent debacle over Bud Light’s leadership failure to address the growing controversy over their pandering to the woke and transgender crowd will be studied in college marketing courses for the next century.
