Military news…

Military leaders keep saying they have a “no tolerance” or a “zero tolerance” policy for sexual assault and harassment, but an independent commission has found that the opposite is true. In fact, daily harassment is ubiquitous in many units and is something military women are told they should expect.

An Army lieutenant colonel is under investigation after reportedly spinning an insane web of lies over several years in order to carry out affairs with several women. Lt. Col. Richard Kane Mansir, a civil affairs officer based at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, allegedly lied about deployments and even came up with false deployment papers to cover up his infidelity.

The Air Force is standing behind a security forces airman who smashed the car window of a woman who was trying to enter Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho late last month. The Air Force said Tech Sgt. Ryan Green was well within standard procedure when he used his baton to smash the window, as can be seen in a video of the event that went viral on social media last week. 

The Marine Corps — the Oliver Twist of the U.S. military — is getting something new. Well, sort of. The lucky infantry Marines at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina are getting their hands on the M3A1 Multi-Role Anti-Armor Anti-Personnel Weapons System, a recoilless rifle that has better range and optics than the Marines’ old boom tube.

U.S. troops in Iraq have been attacked every day this week, and it’s still not clear who is responsible for them. Two U.S. service members were injured after 14 rockets were fired at Al-Asad Air Base on Wednesday, and who knows how many more might follow if the attacks continue.

Another excerpt from my upcoming book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the trenches of Life.

One of the things I heard about when I enlisted into the Army was their food. It seemed to be a joke how bad it was. I was told they have C-rations and a breakfast item called, SOS.

While after I was in for a while, I learned that the food in the military wasn’t all the bad. The SOS was really just biscuits with a lot of gravy on top. It was quite good to me, and I still have it restaurants a lot. The C-rations you never eat unless you are on maneuvers or on “the hill.” like I was in Korea.

So this leads me to think that we shouldn’t go by what other people tell us. We have to find out for outselves.

I have seen this so many times. I believe we all need to calculate carefully what we do and say. We could be telling someone something that doesn’t fit their needs even though we are sure that it is the best for them.

Seem to have gotten rid of my pneumonia. I still am struggling with shortness of breath. Seeing a cardiologist for that.

President Biden fell while board a plane this last week. I am very concerned about his well being. Hope they are taking good care of him.

Some of his latest moves, has turned our world upside down. He pipeline cancellations have the gas prices skyrocketing. Hard to find gas for under $3.00 now.

There are more National Guardsmen in the nation’s capital than there are n Afghanistan. Doesn’t seem to make any sense to me.

The National Guard is overworked as it is, with helping with the vaccine, and other duties.

I did an interview with a SFC sniper recently. He has been out for a while now, and I asked him if he would go back in if he could. He said, “Yes, in a New York minute!”

Once a warrior always a warrior.

Here is another excerpt from my upcoming book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life. In the near future I will not be sharing anymore excerpts. I will be more direct and sharing the structure of the book, and some powerful endorsements.

While on maneuvers in Virginia, I was riding in a jeep through a mountainous area. As we came around a bend a big boulder rolled near us . The driver swerved and missed the boulder, but the force threw me out of the jeep and I landed directly on the boulder back first.

The force of hitting the boulder knocked me unconscious. The next thing I remember, I was in a first aid tent. I woke up and began screaming in pain. A medic ran over to me and injected morphine into me.

That helped me a great deal. Years later I am still trying to get compensation for that accident. They are holding out, but I am stubborn.

This old soldier is battling Pneumonia. Getting somewhat better with the antibiotics they are feeding me. Not ready to run a marathon yet though.

Another excerpt from my upcoming book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life:

I had some frightening times in korea, on Hill 468 while working up there. One time it was very foggy, and I could hear noises coming from the shed area where all the gas and generators were.

That wasn’t a good thing, because there were “slicky boys,” (thieves,) always trying to steal from the military.

I kept hearing it so I opened the door of my hut and fired a shot, plus I yelled at the top of my lungs. Still couldn’t see anything, but the next morning when the fog cleared. I could that someone had been there.

No one was actually there, but over by the main entrance was a pair of torn-up tennis shoes, and blood on the barbed wire surrounding the compound.

Figured a slicky boy thought he could steal because no one could see him.

He paid a price for his wrong doing.
