From an otherwise great dispatch from Afghanistan by -- who else? -- Bing West:
Marine tactics, like Ohio State football, have the subtle inevitability of a steamroller.
I'm not sure what Bing is getting at here in comparing the Marine Corps to the Ohio State football team. Does he mean Marines pawn their valor awards?
Or they can't win when the
Or they can't win when the face the Southern teams.

Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries
These, in the day when heaven was falling,
The hour when earth's foundations fled,
Followed their mercenary calling,
And took their wages, and are dead.
Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
They stood, and earth's foundations stay;
What God abandoned, these defended,
And saved the sum of things for pay.
A.E. Housman

What do Ohio State and marijuana have in common?
They both get smoked in bowls.
Haha! Hey, we were all in college at some point, right?

Ending of Bing West's article:
"It has been a long war, and the American public has understandably lost interest, but these soldiers have not lost their devotion to the mission or their country."
Americans in general and Charlie Sheen in particular love WINNING, something our military and politicians have not provided much of since 1945. Americans love winners, these wars are losers and do not enhance our prestige or protect us from terror attacks. In fact, these shittly little wars tend to piss people off and make them hate us more. They are also much gusto expensive.

Say Camp of the Saints 3X fast. A book that satisfies as politics, prophecy, parody, and incidentally porn.
More prophetic corpses - just as Glenn Beck implodes, his prediction on what the "International Community" has in store for Israel next comes somewhat true - The Arab League is going to ask the UN to impose a no-fly zone over Gaza. Apparently that doesn't include rockets and mortars.

He (Mr. West) is right. But
He (Mr. West) is right. But I wouldn't necessarily call it an unalloyed compliment. As an Army Infantry officer who has worked and gone to school with numerous Marine junior officers, I can say unequivocally that Marines know one, and only one, tactical task: Frontal Assault. It's their answer for everything. Give 'em credit -- their consistent, dogged, and incredibly brave. Love and Semper Fi to my Marine brothers. Keep up the fight -- hit 'em hard and fast.
(But just remember... Sometimes you can attack from the side. It's called the "flank.")
