The Chinese surveillance balloon that hovered over the United States two months ago might have picked up some intelligence from sensitive military sites, but it would be nothing more valuable than what Beijing could already collect with its satellites, the Pentagon said.

Government review of US exit from Afghanistan concludes evacuation should’ve started sooner, faults moves by Trump
The report is the result of many months of investigations by Biden’s administration into the decision-making process of leaving Afghanistan. Many aspects of the pullout were chaotic, and led to 13 U.S. service members being killed near a gate of the Kabul airport by a pair of suicide attacks.

I have started planning for a huge book signing event in my hometown. It will be at the convention center. I am reaching out to find some sponsors to pay for the room. The room holds 160 people. I will have guest speakers, and have several WWII veterans there.

I hope to have a winery come to sell their wine and give away free drinks. I also hope the winery will donate some bottles to give away at the tables.

It is interesting how few civilians seem to thank veterans who have served. zI don’t think they understand how much veterans go through during their service.

I did have a pleasant interaction with a young man while shopping. He went out of his way to thank me for my service. Made my day.

The way things are going in Ukraine, I feel that if Russia doesn’t use nuclear weapons they will lose. Also heard that a world crime charging inity has posted a warrant for Putin’s arrest for war crimes. He is dead meat no matter happens.

I had the privilege to meet a Vietnam veteran while shopping for groceries. I seem to have the knack to find them. This guy is a true hero. His name is Milt Hoch. He had three tours in Vietnam. He didn’t have to. He chose to.

He was in intense fighting, even face to face fighting. He was once stabbed through both legs at once with a bayonet. He was still able to kill the enemy and survive.

I have an interview with him in my upcoming book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life. It is riveting.
