Let’s review. Lying pompous jackass and Cambodian war hero John François Kerry relies on the now debunked “winter soldier” testimony he helped promote to slander American troops in Vietnam.
Cambodia John mugs for the media while tossing "his" ill gotten military medals over the White House fence. Somehow the medals are recovered, neatly framed and hung in his senate office. Weird huh? Toss them away as so much garbage when it suits your purpose. Then when they can be of use, have them neatly framed and hung your office.
When exposed as the double D-bag he is, Kerry says he never threw "his" medals away, but rather tossed the medals of another veteran over the fence. Which is worse? Tossing your own or tossing someone else's and having the world believe that they are yours? Hard to say. Yet we are fixed on Manti Teo's fake girlfriend.
Then Cambodia John took to senate floor to proclaim that it was SEARED, SEARED into his memory being sent into Cambodia on the Christmas of 1968 by Richard Nixon. Two big problems, there is no record of such a mission and Nixon wasn’t inaugurated until Jan of 69.
Never one to be deterred by being confirmed as a liar and fraud of a single war, Johnny Cambodia took to the Sunday morning shows to lie about soldiers and Marines fighting in Afghanistan. American soldiers shouldn’t be terrorizing Afghan citizens in the middle of the night Johnny Cambodia whined. Then inexplicably, the dope went on to say Afghan troops ought to be doing that. Hmm. Maybe, just maybe, nobody shoud be doing that.
Now Johnny Cambodia is set to be confirmed by his ruling class comrades as our next Secretary of State. Wonderful we’ll replace one lying Sack-O-Crap for another.
Women in combat
At the Pentagon, I had the pleasure of sharing a cubicle with a Marine officer responsible for integrating Woman Marine (WM) training at Quantico, VA. “How’d you do that?” I asked. He replied, “Well, first we lowered the standards, and when that didn’t work, we ignored the results.”
My specialty in the Marine Corps was artillery. A 155mm high explosive shell weighs about 95 pounds. The powder charge that sends that round down rage weighs about 35 pounds. These items are loaded, unloaded, shuffled and reshuffled by the hundreds.
A M198 crew consists of 11 Marines. They have a standard of emplacing the 8 ton behemoth in, I think, 3 minutes. To avoid inordinate displacement when fired, the trails of the howitzer must be dug deep into the ground.
So, there are a few options. If I want to put a couple of WMs on each crew, I can allow extra time for the gun to be emplaced or I can increase the crew from 11 to 12 or 13.
There will be great fan fare about how women in combat billets met the exact same standards as the men. It’ll be BS. Women will be promoted and have great glory showered upon them so as to prove the point. It’ll be BS. And when an infantry unit made up of 25% women is over run because the artillery couldn’t get the rounds down range on time; because they couldn’t get the howitzers emplaced; or because they had to relay after every round; because they couldn’t get the trails dug in properly, well, in the words of the model of modern feminism, what difference does it make?
The truth is there may be one gal in 1,000 capable of doing what is needed. Why go in search of that one 10 pound gold nugget when there are hundreds of pounds of gold pebbles at your feet?
Conspiracy theory #2-13
LB and his double D-bag adminstration is on the road to destroy the last bastion of American pride and trust. The American military.

One question I have has to do with an imposed draft. If needed, will women be included in a draft for combat positions? As so often happens these are poorly thought through, poorly executed, and explained as "we will figure it out later". As our military is always preparing for war how do we "figure it out later"? Second question I have is regardless of gender, race, sexual preferences,etc, should we not have the absolute best fighters we can possibly produce be on the front lines? I want the best, no quotas, and no BS politically correct leadership in the military lowering the standards to make rank. That would and should be considered traitorous. The Griffin.
