Laura Blasts The left

Laura may be easy on the eyes but that's not all. In this infovid she calls out the Left and our double standard press/judiciary.

Imagine, if you can, the outrage that would've burst across the front pages if a Trump supporter had driven through a crowd of Bernie supporters. Picture, if you're up to it, the incandescent fury of the Left.

Now, count up the quiet fury of the other side. People are getting fed with "sorry, your kid needs to go trans, you stupid redneck, and Islam's a religion of peace so suck up the latest bomb," etc. And lest we forget, "Look out, idiot redneck, your president's a Russian Agent!"

FFS. We've had enough, and look out, one side knows how to shoot, the other doesn't. No kidding.

Speaking of which, my eldest tells me, "We love Trump, he stands for us. We got a pay rise and he's got our back. The Army loves him a lot."

Go figure. Landslide 2020,

Cadet Update

Far-sighted readers of this inconsequential mind-blog might recall that my eldest boy walked away from a life of Canadian basements and Scandanavian Death Metal to a life in the US Army and, presumably, yet more Death Metal. Good call, kid, and he's in Basic right now at Fort Benning. How's it going?

Well, it seems. The kid's in White Phase, which is all about weapons and fitness, and he shot "expert." The Cadet wrote, "I can shoot an M4, apparently." 

And so you should. No excuses, only results, not that there's any, ahem, parental pressure. He can also run, he tells me, which is important in the Infantry and a miracle given sheer laziness leading up to his ordeal in Georgia. But hey, 19 years old and ready to go, well done.

Some kids, he writes, are so unfit they have to be recycled through BCT again, how did they get past the recruiters? Quotas, I'd imagine. Regardless, the boy's doing well and respect, he's made a good turn 'round. I do not say that lightly.

Next step? Blue Phase and Graduation, I'll be driving over to the Army in Georgia for the occasion. Of course he's fixing to go jump school... easy tiger.

God bless,

Boy's At Basic

Joining the US Army's quite a process. It took my eldest son, the Recruit, four months and I have to hand it to the recruiters, they kept the boy engaged. Given the nature of the teen beast, things could easily have turned out differently. 

But they didn't, and the kid shipped out to Fort Benning yesterday to be with the Army in Georgia; he  left a very soldierly(!) sounding message last night, excited to be on his way. Of course he has the pleasure of looking forward to this:

Well you know what they say, character building, and in the long term so much better than sitting around playing Death Metal, awesome as that is. So well done Recruit, get through Basic and evolve up.

More on this exciting story as it unfolds.

Go Army,
