Why can't our soldiers carry a weapon?

Creepy Obama Youth

WarHammer tweeted this video of a militaristic style Obama youth. It is before the 2008 election and pretty darn scary.

DNC 2012 Military Faux Pas

It's the last night of the DNC 2012 convention. To give a patriotic speech a retired U.S. Navy Admiral takes the stage. The backdrop: the Russian's Black Sea Fleet.

Stimulus Money Used To Destroy Historic Site

I found this image and caption at energy.gov as the image of the week.

A worker suppresses dust during the final demolition stages of the historic DP West site, located at Los Alamos National Laboratory’s (LANL) Technical Area 21. The demolition was funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and is part of $212 million in ARRA funds the Lab received for environmental remediation. | Photo courtesy of Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Wow. Where do you go with something like this? I mean this is just pure lunacy. This will stimulate the economy?

Also, before you get riled up thinking this is a conspiracy to erase our nuclear history, this practise of demolishing these building has been going on for a while. The history is being preserved. See the "Bradbury Science Museum" and this document on TA-21 from 2004 about the demolition of buildings.

The main page about the cleanup is [here]. What is puzzling is why a photo from this effort was chosen as a picture of the week. The last building from TA-21 was demolished in December 2010. On September 14, 2011 the last scoop of waste was excavated from Material Disposal Area B. The spending chart stops at a point over a year ago.

Is the Department of Energy behind the ball or is Los Alamos failing to update its web page?

That's all lunatic dressing. The point is that stimulus money was being spent on activities that Los Alamos was already doing. Not to mention these are historic sites and it just sounds bad that stimulus money was used to demolish historic sites. In addition, this is a government site. The government spent money on the government to stimulate the economy. The project claims to have created 450 jobs, but since it looks like the job is over hasn't the project now lost 450 jobs? Demolition is not a sustainable job market.

Anyways, doesn't it look like the worker is taking a monstrous wizz producing a piss rainbow over the remains of the site that developed weapons that helped us to win "the Cold War?" Is there a subliminal message here about America's nuclear programs?

11 Minutes for 8 Years

When a person joins the military they enter into an eight year contract. They are promising that over the next 8 years they can be called upon to fight for their country. The contract is a mix of active and reserve duty time.

A military service member (MSM) gives up many freedoms to protect yours. They are told what to wear. They are told when to eat. They are made to exercise. If they are late for work or fail in what they are told to do there is no threat of being fired; there is a threat of Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) action.

One of the biggest freedoms lost is the freedom of speech. A MSM can not voice their political opinion while in uniform or give their opinion and use their military standing in conjunction with it; as a MSM they are deemed to be an authority figure and can not render political opinion while viewed in that role.

They are fighting for our freedom. Regardless of whether or not you agree with or even understand the current wars and conflicts they are a part of, they are doing it for you.

Take eleven minutes to hear our men and women of the military read "The Declaration of Independence" and remember what a bold step was taken two hundred thirty six years ago to secure your freedom today and these men and women continue to protect.
