In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

The Might of the Rank

I've been watching the news reports about base commanders pulling rank, thumbing their noses at the highest ranking members of the military, and forgetting their arbitrary abuse of power can be their downfall. Maybe they think they're right, but in the military, you're subordinate to the President and Vice President. Piss them off, and you might find yourself walking down the road and kicking cans.

    1. I don’t see what they think they’re accomplishing with it Jess. I can’t see a real officer, who’s earned his rank and position - throwing it away on a futile gesture.

      I think these flunkies know the party’s drawing to a close and now might be a good time to get out?

    2. Many were hired because what they have between their legs, or have a mental condition. Incompetent from the start, unable to grasp the gravity of their position, and a danger to the country, their punishment should include time in Leavenworth.

  3. Drum them out, remove their rank, and break their sword.

    1. The sooner, the better. They only drag down anyone they serve with or command.

  4. The first thing you are taught as a junior nco, is that you undermine yourself by denigrating those over you. It is not your section/platoon/company, it's loaned.
