Some fake news reports claim that the military is liking president Biden. NOT A CHANCE!!!

He has turned his back on the military. He is even using military money to pay for some of his new laws. Don’t be fooled by the media!

Some of the most influential people I have ever met were in the military.

They weren’t even all officers. Many NCO’s taught me so much that I still use today. The military is full of intelligent and upright people.

News of the day

Thank Haley Britzky for making the Army do the right thing, like she did yesterday by writing an article about a brigade commander’s decision to not seek prosecution for Staff Sgt. Randall S. Hughes, an NCO who pled guilty to raping the wife of one of his soldiers in 2017. Shortly after the article was published, the Army said it plans on reviewing the brigade commander’s decision. That’s huge.

Dependent living assistance

The Independent Living program help Veterans and service members who are unable to work due to a service-connected disability, as well as those who need help living as independently as possible. The Independent Living track can also provide job assistance with a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor.

It’s wrastlin’ time for Staff Sgt. John Stefanowicz, the first Marine in 30 years to wrestle in the Olympics, writes Task & Purpose editor-in-chief Paul Szoldra. An imagery analysis specialist at Camp Lejeune, the 29-year-old Stefanowicz is now the best 181-pound Greco-Roman wrestler in the country, and he’s feeling ready to bring home a gold medal at the Tokyo games this summer.

Two sailors were shot at Fort Detrick, Maryland on Tuesday, allegedly by a 38-year-old Navy hospital corpsman identified as Petty Officer 3rd Class Fantahun Girma Woldesenbet, Pentagon reporter Jeff Schogol reports. Woldesenbet was shot and killed by base police, while one of the sailors he allegedly shot remained in critical condition in a Baltimore hospital as of late Tuesday night. The other is expected to be released today. Both Woldesenbet and the two victims were assigned to Fort Detrick, despite it being an Army installation.

Some up to date news for you.

President Biden has decided to pull the troops out of Afghanistan on September 11th, 2021. That would be the 20th anniversary of the Twin Towers attack.

Now the people are in an uproar. They wanted the troops brought home, but now they fear the Taliban will take over the country quickly.

HELLO!

I am in a spot in my life where I am not sure if we should send troops to every country that is having problems.

Biden is in a lose, lose situation, and I feel for him on this situation.

The Air Force just let in a white supremacist that a Google search could have caught, I wrote in an article on Tuesday. Airman 1st Class Shawn Michael McCaffrey has a long history with white supremacist groups, and he even ran a podcast where he and his racist, homophobic pals pilloried Jews, people of color, Muslims and many other groups, including the military. The Air Force is now investigating the case.

OOOOPS!!!

“I want to get back to doing normal things” was the main reason Army Staff Sgt. Anthony Johnson flipped from COVID-19 vaccine skeptic to vaccine recipient, writes Army reporter Haley Britzky. Like many other soldiers, seeing his commander take the shot helped Johnson change his mind. Learning more statistics about the vaccine, wanting to protect their loved ones and believing the Army wouldn’t provide a harmful vaccine to its troops also helped, Haley found out after chatting with soldiers.

The cop who pointed a firearm at an unarmed, uniformed Army officer named 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario at a traffic stop in December has been fired from the Windsor, Va. police department, Haley Britzky reports. Officer Joe Gutierrez was out of line with Windsor PD policy, the town said in a press release. Meanwhile, the Army’s top enlisted soldier praised Nazario for his calm response to the encounter.

I did some research, (It gave me a headache) that showed what the pollsters thought were the best war movies as far as being authentic. Here is THEIR list:

  1. Saving Private Ryan
  2. The Best years of Our Lives
  3. In the Army now
  4. Platoon
  5. Black Hawk Down
  6. Apocalypse Now
  7. Full Metal Jacket

They chose them for how they got it right, whereas some military films are laughable how screwed up they were.

Here is one more endorsement for the book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life.

It is from a WWII veteran. George Woodruff. I met him on RallyPoint. Great guy. He was 94 and very ill when I connected so I am not sure if he is still with us.

George was on Hospice care when I first met him. He was at a special military assisted living facility in Alabama.

Here is his endorsement:

I know Doug. He is a good man. He knows the hearts of his fellow veterans. His book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and out of the trenches of Life is well written, and is vital for veterans.

He writes from the heart, and speaks of healing and soothing the souls of his brothers and sisters.

I highly recommend his book in that it especially reaches out to those who are suffering with PTSD, war wounds, depression, and many other problems.

George Woodruff

WWII veteran

President Biden is sticking to his decision to not pull out troops from Afghanistan. This is causing many angry family members of those troops. They thought their loved ones would be home by May, and now there is no definite timeline.

There is also a rumor that Biden will slash the military budget way down to help pay for his Trillion dollar fantasys. He is certainly showing that he doesn’t love the military like President Trump did.
