I don't know why it took so long either Mustang.
If you have any interest in The US Marines or America itself, two blogs added to the great reads as "Mustang - Fix Bayonets" and "Mustang - A Montpelier View" are the places to go.
Mustang is a retired Marine Colonel and a crystal clear Conservative.
Both are great reads....and I say this as an Army guy.
ReplyDeleteCI, Makes me wonder the outcome of an Army-Marine game ;-)
DeleteBut, yes, it's always nice to read about exceptional individuals on Fix Bayonets, and the Montpelier View is one of the best I've ever read. Right to the point and not a lot of cereal filler.
Make that NO cereal filler.
DeleteArmy-USMC game? If played with IBA and boots...rugby style...I'm in! I wouldn't place a bet, out of solid respect for the Corps...but damn, what a game!
DeleteThat's what I'm thinkin!
DeleteFYI...Mustang was my first cyber friend. We "met" in 2005, when I first started blogging.
ReplyDeleteWe remain friends to this day.
In addition to his being a crystal clear Conservative, he is also a historian.
He is an excellent historian AOW
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kindness, Kid.
ReplyDeleteI don't have CI's email, but I am sure that he will be "sick" to read this as I was. The last thing we need is to lower our standards among officer accessions and NCO promotions.
Mustang, No kindness, just the facts. :)
DeleteI certainly believe standards are being lowered throughout the military. The women in combat, the special forces needing more bodies, and there is no question this is what the dem-commies do at every opportunity.
Been following Mustang for years - starting w/ his first blog-
ReplyDeleteHe is one of the few whom I trust--

Carol-CS, Ditto, I read every post. Not a lot of blogs can say that about.
