| Huntsville City Schools Uniform Proposal |

When you think of Huntsville, AL, does the term "gang" even slightly come to mind? Sounds more like an SNL skit comprised of a bunch of rednecks like me sporting overalls and straw toothpicks and carrying slingshots to intimidate the rival trailer trash gang who uses mullet whips and Pabst Blue Ribbon assault bottles.

| Medicated Into Oblivion |
| 03/05/2010 06:12 PM |
This week's Army Times paper had a story titled "Medicating the Military" by Brendan McGarry. It was kind of a sobering piece about the toll eight years of war has taken on our troops.
One of the graphics really got me thinking. It dealt with the types of drugs being prescribed to [...]

You know there are a lot of clichés out there like "don't judge a book by its cover," or a very apropos quote by Stephen Covey, the author, "Public behavior is merely private character writ large."
I have been thinking about those types of "character" issues because of the Adam Kokesh interview last night. See, [...]

| Girl Scouts To Cav Scouts '10 |
| 03/01/2010 04:54 PM |
I haven't done one of these in a LONG time and found a troop with which I can partner again.
Each year, as you know, the Girl Scouts sell their over-priced, but overly-yummy cookies. And each year, I've tried to get together a bunch of people to help send some of these cookies [...]

| Single Parents in the Military |

Let me start off by saying that I am going to piss some of you off with the opinion you are about to read! But I am SICK and TIRED of people NOT understanding what the word "MILITARY" means.
An article from the Washington Post titled "For soldiers, single motherhood becomes another battlefield" brings up the question of [...]

| Casey Speaks Up About DADT (And So Do I) |
| 02/23/2010 04:08 PM |
Ok, I'm going to give my OPINION about the so-called "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy. It's actually a law, not a military policy as the media would have you believe. Almost exactly a year ago, I wrote about the military's policy on homosexuals in the military. I explained at least what the [...]
