Where Do We Get Such Men?

Read this account of the FOB in Afghanistan that was abandoned (not overrun!) after a real “fistfight of a firefight.”

“It was some of the bravest stuff I’ve ever seen in my life, and I will never see it again because those guys,” Stafford said, then paused. “Normal humans wouldn’t do that. You’re not supposed to do that — getting up and firing back when everything around you is popping and whizzing and trees, branches coming down and sandbags exploding and RPGs coming in over your head … It was a fistfight then, and those guys held ’ em off.”

Stafford offered a guess as to why his fellow soldiers fought so hard.

“Just hardcoreness I guess,” he said. “Just guys kicking ass, basically. Just making sure that we look scary enough that you don’t want to come in and try to get us.”

Don’t Know Much About History

In Obama’s world there are 57 states in the U.S. There was one bomb dropped on Pearl Harbor. You can sleep through church enough to miss twenty years of sermons. Nuremberg was a good example of habeas corpus. And presidents serve for, oh, eight to ten years. (Oh, well. It’s not like he taught constitutional law or anything.)

So what if he gets a little confused between Germany and Poland?  Get a load of where he chose to give his speech in Germany.

To paraphrase a favorite movie, “Truly he has a dizzying intellect.”

A Thousand Words

Guess where this KFC is.

Update:

The chicken outfit may well exist in Fallujah, but it’s not official KFC.

The Unitary Executive

In case you’ve ever been puzzled by the phrase or heard it misused by the MSM and it’s left-wing friends, Ilya Somin does a great job here of demystification.
