WTF???

Ok it is getting near the end of my deployment and my patience for absolute stupidity is wearing very thin. I saw this on yahoo news today.


WASHINGTON -- A recent U.S. intelligence assessment has raised the estimated number of full-time Taliban -led insurgents fighting in Afghanistan to at least 25,000, underscoring how the crisis has worsened even as the U.S. and its allies have beefed up their military forces, a U.S. official said Thursday.

The hook line was. Taliban Strength Nearing Military Proportions.

What the HELL are you people thinking? Of course this paragraph was followed by this statement.

The U.S. official, who requested anonymity because the assessment is classified, said the estimate represented an increase of at least 5,000 fighters, or 25 percent, over what an estimate found last year.

The U.S. Official requested anonymity because the DUMBASS knows he is supposed to keep his damn mouth shut. Two words people OPERATIONAL SECURITY. There is a reason this information is classified people. It’s supposed to be a GOD DAMN SECRET!!! Why don’t we just invite the Taliban to our War rooms and tell them exactly every F@#&ING thing we are doing? All of you morons who work for the upper echelons of our government and I am speaking only to those who will not give their names you know who the hell you are. You are undermining everything we are doing and you are costing American lives. I don’t care about the public’s right to know. Their right to know ends where the soldier’s right to protection for what they are doing begins. We need to go back to the old days when people had a little more Honor and Respect.

We are told constantly about operational security and to be careful when using the computers here, but U.S. officials don’t have to? If you leak CLASSIFIED information there is a word for that it is called TREASON. We used to kill people for that. These animals in the Taliban have one thing going for them; they know us psychologically better than anything. They know how we think and feel and that is their greatest weapon. They know our fears, HELLO that’s why it’s called TERRORISM. That’s why it works.

We need to find every single one of these TRAITORS and put them in jail for the rest of their lives, since we can’t kill them anymore, because that would make us just like the terrorists. ( Hope you are picking up on the SARCASM because I am laying it on thick.) If you cost an American life because of your treasonous behavior you should pay for it with your life.

If we are not going to commit to this thing then perhaps we do need to just pack up go home and protect our own borders. We are here for a reason. People are griping about the President, well what can you do if your own employees won't keep their stupid mouths shut. I am amazed that anyone wants to be president it is such a thankless job. Perhaps for now we should redirect our anger away from the president and start finding these traitorous pigs and throw them away. They are the ones killing your troops. I am sick of seeing this crap in the news.

Our officials seeking anonymity should take a lesson from these heroes. This was also in the news today. We lost another great American.

Willard Varnell Oliver a grateful nation mourns your passing.

PRESCOTT, Ariz. – Willard Varnell Oliver, a member of the Navajo Code Talkers who confounded the Japanese during World War II by transmitting messages in their native language, died Wednesday. He was 88.

Lawrence Oliver said his father died at the Northern Arizona Veterans Administration Health Care System Hospital in Prescott, Ariz. He had been declining health for the past two years.

Navajo Nation President Joe Shirley Jr. ordered flags on the Navajo Nation to be flown at half-staff from Oct. 15-19 in honor of Oliver, who is at least the fifth Code Talker to die since May.

Oliver was part of an elite group of Navajo Marines who confused the Japanese during World War II by transmitting messages in Navajo.

The Code Talkers took part in every assault the Marines conducted in the Pacific from 1942 to 1945. Their work was declassified in 1968.

Oliver, who grew up between Shiprock and Farmington, N.M., served in the South Pacific with the 2nd Marine Division from 1943 to 1945. He was wounded during the battle of Saipan of 1944.

Oliver's brother, Lloyd Oliver, was also a member of the elite group.

His funeral is scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday in his hometown of Lukachukai.

Problems With Internet

Ok so I launch my blog and all of a sudden the internet starts acting up. You know you would think if you’re going to provide internet and you know you are going to have a lot of people using it you would at least beef it up to handle the traffic. I mean come on it’s not like we can go where ever we want anyway with all the restricted websites. After all we don't want to offend our host country, you know the one that houses all the people who want to kill us, well in addition to the slow connection I am unable to get to many news sites I'm assuming because they have information on them. ( Yikes! I really laid the sarcasm thick on that one.) Here is just one of the sites I cannot access IMDB The Internet Movie Data Base. Don't want the soldiers getting too much info on movies now do we. ( Sorry sarcasm is my second language)


Well this has seriously slowed down my blogging debut. I promise I will find a way to work around it. Take this particular blog. I tried to log onto the site to let everyone know I was having trouble and while I was able to log in when I tried to get to the new post section and it wouldn’t go. So I am writing this on microsoft word so I can just paste it in. That is when I am able to log on. I guess at least since I haven’t developed a big following yet that it should not have a huge impact. I am working on a couple of different topics. I am hoping things will pick up soon, so bear with me. Take care all and be good to each other.

Iran

I decided to start off with a bang. (Pardon the pun. It’s what I do.) Now exactly who among us thinks that Iran should be allowed to have nuclear weapon capabilities? I’m sorry but if in the past you have expressed a very real unreasonable desire to have an entire group of people removed from the planet, then you do not get to have nuclear weapons. Why? Because nuclear weapons have the capability of removing, entire groups of people from the planet. This is not rocket science folks(oops I did it again). It’s just common sense. We don’t allow crazy people to own guns, because mentally unstable people, with no real grasp of reality might just kill someone. The ones that are crafty enough to get guns do it all the time.


It’s the same principle. Raise your hand if you think the president of Iran Mahmoud Achmed/jihadi/wants us dead , is a sane person. The reason I said raise your hand is because I don’t need to see that you didn’t raise your hand. If you did you are just as crazy as he is.

The worst part is they think we are stupid. They claim they are only developing nuclear technology for power usage. Give me a break. POWER is right, but not power to make life better for their people. If they really cared about their people, they would not shoot them in the streets just because they disagreed with them and want change. Ok for those who will argue that we have not always been model citizens in the world. You are correct we have not. We however have grown and evolved we are not perfect but how many other countries in the world have so many people flocking to it. If we are so bad why does everyone want to come here?

So if it is so easy to see that this country is run by crazy religious zealots who really would like to see us all dead. Why is it so hard to tell them? “I’m sorry but you see you are crazy and when you run around calling for everyone else’s death we just can’t let you have these kinds of weapons.” We don’t need to be diplomatic we need to be honest. We are not going to accomplish anything by ignoring the elephant in the room. Diplomacy is reserved for non crazy heads of state that can be reasoned with. Not for maniacs who believe it is perfectly ok to wipe someone out just because you don’t like them. Let’s not forget that this man claims the Holocaust was a myth. One of the most documented crimes in history a myth? The Germans have admitted their guilt we had thousands of survivors. Our own troops freed many of the survivors. A MYTH?? I don’t think so Achmed wanna nuke us all. There is one thing we can count on in all this craziness. Once this nuclear site they are working on gets close enough to completion it will be destroyed, by the only people with the balls to do it and the guts to stand up and take the credit and the inevitable heat that will come their way, the Isrealis. I hope when they do we will be along side them but I doubt that we will be. The world better wake the hell up and let these crazy people know we are not going to stand for this. OK let the comments begin.

Introduction

Where shall I start? Well if you already know me you know that I am a very opinionated person. Some friends of mine suggested that I should have a talk show. I thought I would start small and see what happens. As I said I have an opinion on just about everything. I am easily irritated by just plain stupidity. Note I said stupidity not ignorance. I am sure we all know the difference. I did a little research on starting a blog and making it successful. Having a theme is one of the suggestions. I don’t like to limit myself however and I think in keeping with the theme of my call-sign “Willy Nilly” we will talk about various things as they excite or anger me. Things change every day and if you stand still you get left behind.


I probably should start with a little about myself. I am currently deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. That being said I do not speak for the United States Government or the United States Army. My opinions and sentiments are mine and mine alone. While I might poke fun at some aspects of Army life I am and always will be loyal to my country and the people serving her. Nothing says I have to agree with the government or the Army all the time. That is one of the freedoms we enjoy in the United States of America one that those in the military defend every day. I say those because there are some very courageous people out there on the roads and in the villages of Iraq and Afghanistan every single day doing the real hard work. I have been fortunate in that during my first deployment in Iraq I flew all over the country and was never hit with enemy fire nor did I lose any friends. The same cannot be said for a lot of other folks who have served. I am not trying to diminish my role in the deployments, just putting it into perspective. I am no “PX Ranger” as we say in the military I am not out to take credit for something I didn’t do. I did my job nothing more.

I suppose that is about it for now. I should probably start thinking of topic for the Inaugural post. I hope everyone enjoys the posts whether they make you laugh or make you want to beat the crap out of me. I guess now that I will be addressing certain topics I will have to do a little more research before I open my mouth as it were. I don’t want to sound like some of the uninformed inflammatory morons on TV today. I hope you like the first post.
