After Pensacola, DoD Says It Will Update Vetting for Foreign Military Students
by Tammy on January 16, 2020This is not enough. We simply shouldn’t have them here. If we are to train foreign military, let’s do it with teams in their home countries. Not only that, but the following story indicates that the vetting of these “students” has been handled by their home countries, not by us. How idiotic is that? As an aside, we also have to eliminate the restriction on our troops being armed on base. It has been clear since the 2009 Ft Hood terrorist attack that our troops must be armed. If our troop shad been armed during the Pensacola shooting, now declared a terror attack, fewer people would have been killed and injured. Via UPI. The Department of Defense announced Thursday that...

Deputy National Security Adviser: Military Dog Injured In ISIS Raid Will Recover
by Shifra on October 28, 2019Great News! Via Daily Wire. During Saturday night’s military raid that resulted in the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a military working dog was injured. While no human U.S. military members were injured, the dog received severe injuries after al-Baghdadi blew himself up to avoid capture. The dog, whose name and breed have not been disclosed, chased al-Baghdadi, cornering him in a tunnel in his compound. The terrorist leader was wearing a belt lined with explosives. He detonated the belt, killing himself and at least three of his own children, to avoid being captured by U.S. authorities. My former employer The Washington Examiner reported that it was the heroic actions of the military dog that led to al-Baghdadi’s...

by Tammy on November 4, 2018The legacy media has been a mob for quite some times now, and here is another example of the mob mentality– actually mocking Dan Crenshaw, one of our hero Navy SEALs, for his war injury.

by Tammy on October 25, 2018Will 800 be enough, and will they be assigned the mission to actually secure the border? This report indicates, at this point, they will not.

USS Pueblo Ship Crew Tell Trump To Bring Vessel Home From North Korea
by Tammy on September 22, 2018Finally. I’ve been saying this needs to be a priority since the direct talk began. After all, I don’t think NoKo is serious, but why not get as much from these jackasses as possible in the meantime? Via Fox News. Some of the surviving crewmembers of an American spy ship captured by North Korean forces 50 years ago have a message for President Trump: bring our warship home. “The crew of the USS Pueblo would like to get our ship returned,” Ron Berens, the lead helmsman onboard and at the wheel on January 23, 1968 when North Korean MiG fighter jets and patrol boats opened fire on the American spy ship, leading to the first capture of a U.S. Navy...

Making History, Four Israeli Women Complete Training to Become Tank Commanders
by Shifra on July 1, 2018Girl Power…Israeli-style. Via Times of Israel. The Israel Defense Forces declared its pilot program of all-female tank crews a success on Thursday, hours before four of the participants were due to complete the Armored Corps’ tank commanders course. “The training process was a success, from both an instructional and an operational perspective. The soldiers achieved all the goals set for them,” said Lt. Col. Benny Aharon, the head of command training in the Armored Corps. The pilot program was designed to see if women could make up the four-person crews necessary to operate a tank in “routine security operations” within Israel’s borders or just beyond them if necessary — not in wars or in fighting behind deep enemy lines.

Video: Israel, US End ‘Juniper Cobra 18’ Exercise With Live-Fire Air Defense Test
by Shifra on March 23, 2018Neat! Via Times of Israel. The Israel Defense Forces and US military ended their joint Juniper Cobra missile defense exercise this week, with live-fire tests of two anti-aircraft systems over the skies of central Israel. The exercise, which began on March 4, simulated a massive ballistic missile attack on the State of Israel, with American and Israeli troops working together to defend the country, something officials from both militaries stressed could happen in reality. “They will train shoulder to shoulder, the same way we will fight in times of crisis. It’s not just about an exercise,” Brig. Gen. Tzvika Haimovitch, Israel’s air defense commander, told reporters when the exercise began. Israel considers ballistic missiles, specifically precision-guided ones, to be one...

U.S. Navy Rejects Atheist’s Chaplain Application
by Shifra on March 21, 2018The Navy was considering his application, but it was stopped by pushback from lawmakers. Waiting for another lawsuit from this applicant…in 3-2-1… Via Washington Examiner. Sen. Roger Wicker said Wednesday that the Navy has finally denied the application of a man who sought to become a “secular humanist” chaplain for the service. The application of Jason Heap, who was backed by the Humanist Society, was first rejected by the Navy in 2014, but a Navy chaplain advisory board recently recommended approving it. Leadership has done the right thing,” said Wicker, R-Miss., who chairs the Senate Armed Services seapower subcommittee. “The appointment of an atheist to an undeniably religious position is fundamentally incompatible with atheism’s secularism. This decision preserves the distinct...

Today is National K9 Veterans Day, Honoring Our Military Dogs
by Shifra on March 13, 2018Fun fact: The idea of using military dogs dates back to Benjamin Franklin, who suggested the use of dogs “will confound the enemy.” Via USA Today. In war, the difference between living and dying can come down to a single step. Ret. Air Force Staff Sgt. Len Anderson knows this too well. On patrol in Afghanistan in 2012, he was stopped just before he stepped on an improvised explosive device. Who saved his life? It was Azza, his military working dog, who alerted him to the danger. Later in the patrol, Azza sensed another IED and signaled to Anderson to stay in place. But this IED was remotely activated. It detonated. Anderson suffered massive injury, but thanks to Azza he...

WWII Hero Dog Honored 75 Years After Saving Lives of U.S. Soldiers
by Shifra on January 17, 2018RIP, Chips. And thank you for your service. Via NY Post. ….Westchester County pooch Chips, a German shepherd-husky cross, was awarded the Dickin Medal for his courageous actions during the appropriately titled Operation Husky…. Chips was just a regular family pet living with the Wren family in Pleasantville when the Army asked civilians to donate their dogs to the war effort. Some 40,000 patriotic pooches were signed up, but only 10,000 made the cut — including Chips. Upon landing at the beach in Sicily in 1943, Chips’ platoon immediately came under fire — and the courageous canine broke free of his leash and ran into an enemy machine-gun nest. “There was an awful lot of noise and the firing stopped....

Video) SecDef Mattis: “I Don’t Have Concerns. I Create Them”
by Tammy on January 6, 2018Love this guy! He obliterates the Obama narrative that the United States is run by a gang of frightened, unsure puddy tats. Via Fox News and Free Beacon. Secretary of Defense James Mattis on Friday said that in 2018 he will be creating concerns for others rather than having them himself.

Flashback: Obama Took Photo Op With Caskets Over Objection of Gold Star Families
by Shifra on October 25, 2017Is it just me, or does Obama look ridiculously out of place with these soldiers? Via Right Scoop. ….According to a Gold Star mom, in 2011 when the body of her son was being transported back the United States, Obama came out to be with the families of her and others who had members die in combat…. starts @ :45 mark In fact, Obama actually CHANGED the policy on cameras at these events so that he could have photo ops. Here’s when they were debating the issue: As the Pentagon reviews its policy banning cameras from Dover Air Force Base, sentiment among military families appears to be running against allowing the media to witness the return of caskets from Iraq...

Scumbag Bergdahl Expected to Plead Guilty to Deserting His Post
by Tammy on October 6, 2017So he’s still a coward. Jackass. I was concerned at first when I saw this headline, as the ‘misbehavior in front of the enemy’ is the more serious charge but this report indicates he will also plead guilty to that. I guess this makes clear he was lying when arguing that he going to get help due to bad military leadership. Remember, this scumbag was Obama’s excuse for freeing 5 Taliban generals from Gitmo. Via Fox News. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was expected to plead guilty later this month to desertion and misbehavior before the enemy rather than face trial for leaving his Afghanistan post in 2009, The Associated Press reported. Two sources told The Associated Press that Bergdahl would...
