It's not just a USN thing. Appears the pre-RANGER course commander at Fort Benning was recently relieved of command. Appears he's made one too many trips to the PX for tabs and medals.

I don't like anyone who puts forth phony credentials and misrepresents themselves. It is dishonest. It is a dishonor to those who have worked to earn the right.

He was caught and called out for it. He immediately apologized for getting caught and now everything is hunky-dory, right?
To the Dems it's just a clothing accessory!

[BREITBART] An Australian climate change lobby group has faced a backlash after creating a billboard advert comparing coal miners to paedophiles. The ad was one of a number of possible images posted onto the Facebook page of the Australian Youth Climate Coalition as part of a competition to choose a poster to be displayed at Brisbane airport next month when world leaders fly in to meet for the G20 Summit, but was pulled from the site after followers branded the advert as "sick".
The poster featured a note reading "Dear world leaders, don't let the coal lobby get their dirty hands on our future. Yours sincerely, young people and future generations". Next to the note is the face of a young girl looking alarmed with a man's hands, dirty with coal dust, clamped over her mouth.
The poster immediately came under fire. One twitter user commented "This is sick! comparing paedophilia with hardworking coal mining Australians," the Daily Mail has reported. Others posted negative comments on the AYCC's facebook page, and the Liberal backbencher George Christensen laid into the AYCC, branding them "environutbags".
The furore prompted the AYCC to remove the poster from the competition, writing on its Facebook page "We have removed an entry from the competition after concerns were raised about the content."
Nonetheless, the group continues to lobby Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott to put climate change on the agenda at the G20 next month, when guests including Barack Obama If I had a son he'd look like Trayvon... and Vladimir Putin ...Second and fourth President and sixth of the Russian Federation and the first to remain sober. Putin is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from polonium poisoning. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to Putin. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead... will discuss a range of global topics. Abbott has so far declined, insisting that a discussion on climate change would be better served at a separate international forum.

Tasteless and offensive. But at least they are not hypocrites - assuming no coal was involved in the production of the ad campaign. You know, coal-generated electricity for lights and A/C. Paper from a plant run with electricity. Maybe the pigments for the printed proofs. Hopefully, everyone drove to work in clean, pollution-free electric cars which ultimately are powered by coal.

Liberals everywhere must have a eco-enemy and distraction. Coal fits the bill. Here at home Rhino (RNO) coal company dropped it's dividend to .05 last week and the price per share plummeted to $4. True to his word, Champ is killing the coal industry.

Until you shut the power grid down. About a week or two into 'without the light', most of the masses will start to in fact 'get the light' about these Luddites and their fantasy alternatives.

I say we drop the people that support this in the middle of nowhere with just some basic tools and weapons and tell them to have a perfect carbon free life.
Come back in a couple months and most will be dead of disease, accidents, exposure and starvation.
Problem solved while a valuable life lesson learned.

worse, prime minister tony abbott is about to Waste more than $2 billion of taxpayer's money on the climate change scam called "direct action"
how stupid.
can't do anything about climate change, carbon dioxide doesn't even cause it. And that is where my taxes are going? how many hospitals and schools could that finance.
I pay taxes for services: roads, hospitals, schools, police to keep order, the military to defend our shores. NOT for "climate change" and not for "multiculturalism". Two areas which should receive 100 per cent budget cuts

We should convicne all the eco-nuts to move to the same country and implement their policies. None of these half-measures done by most western countries. Just all move to Tahiti or something and go hog wild with eco-regulations.
#12
rjschwarz, the beauty of your proposal is that the eco-nuts would over-regulate everything and they eventually just disappear due to starvation. lack of water. and a lack of heat. However, rather than Tahiti, the proposal ought to consider sending them somewhere cold to speed the process along.
[MIAMIHERALD.TYPEPAD] Saturday and Sunday marked the first chance for voters to head to the early voting polls on a weekend, a time when Democrats could really show in force and put a big dent in Republicans' lead in casting pre-Election Day ballots.
But there was no huge surge in Democrat-rich Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.
Intriguingly in the three counties, the total number of people who early voted Saturday was greater than Sunday--the day when black voters were expected to have the first of two "Souls to the Polls" voting events after church.
Some Democrats are starting to panic. It's an understandable feeling. Mid-term election turnout in the big three urban counties is historically abysmal, which is a major reason why Republicans hold every statewide elected office but one.
This is a warning sign for Democrat Charlie Crist ...the politically androgynous former governor of Florida... "This is horrible," one South Florida consultant told me.
Crist should be concerned. And some of his supporters are. But they're not panicking yet because of two big data points:
1) Gov. Rick Scott is plowing his own millions into his campaign, which is making the Republican-consulting class more uneasy with Scott's chances. If $64 million in TV ad spending has bought the governor only a tie, what will millions more do?
2) Though Republicans have racked up a lead in pre-Election Day ballots, Democrats have been slowly bringing the percentage margin down over the past week.
Crist advisor Steve Schale said by email that Democrats were doing much better than in 2010:
Driven by a very good Saturday, the Democrats cut the Republican advantage by nearly a point from 9.2% to 8.3%. This compares to the 18.1% advantage that the GOP had in 2010....
African American turnout on first Saturday was up 191% over 2010's same day in Duval, 125% in Dade and 60% in Broward. Over the entire election, African American turnout in those three counties is up 44% in Broward, 61% in Dade and 195% in Duval County.

scott barely won in 2010 beating Alex Sin by 49% to 48% (other candidates were running). Crist ran for the Senate and lost that year.
a Libertarian is also running in 2014
Crist and Scott are both unpopular with large segments of the Florida electorate. Scott is disliked by blacks. Seniors dislike Crist.

With few exceptions, anyone voting for a democrat since about 1932 should seriously reconsider a re-look at American political history and economic outcomes, or seek psychiatric help.

Early voting is an, open door for (D) cheating. And thre is no need for it: in Europe we vote in a single day and the mline, if any is a few minutes long at most. I, for one still have to wait for a single second.
#4
Libertarians? You mean the people who think that by reducing the size of federal government the people of Al Quaida and Isis will stop dreaming of nuking America?
#6
Crist is one of them so my choice would be easy enough.
I'm not even sure I'll consider voting for him when he's an (R) again.
Early voting and absentee ballots except for those physically out of the country or bed-ridden are nothing but corruption tools. So is "motor voter" and same day registration.

Do you ever find yourself asking: Who am I? What do I believe in? What is my place in this world? If you do, you are not alone. Many people with borderline personality disorder (BPD) struggle with identity issues -- one of the core symptoms of the disorder. From AboutHealth. Who am I? Applies to Hillary also. She has been know to channel her black inner-self occasionally. She also has economic nonsense disorder.

JFM, Sorry but you've got left-wing anti-war types mixed in with freedom loving folks.
Real Libertarians believe in smaller Federal gov't. in areas like income redistribution and domestic regulations and taxes.
There are a few things that the Federal Gov't is supposed to do and #1 in that is defense, army, navy, etc. Those are the folks that need to deal with alQ and ISIS.
#9
I'm not sure Real Libertarians believe that. Ron Paul and the Libertarian party sure don't which is why they have never hold federal elected offices.
Perhaps Sane, or electable Libertarians would be more accurate.

Stuff it Pappy. The Libertarian case for spending money on the CDC and state public health agencies to quarantine high risk Ebola patients is strong; although, it would be better done through both civil liability and government coercion. There is no offsetting Conservative/Liberal case for the CDC studying why 1esbians are fat, which a Libertarian would never have funded.

Some though take the Jacksonian view. It's not isolationism but do it or don't do it at all.
For the first Jacksonian rule of war is that wars must be fought with all available force. The use of limited force is deeply repugnant. Jacksonians see war as a switch that is either "on" or "off." They do not like the idea of violence on a dimmer switch. Either the stakes are important enough to fight for—in which case you should fight with everything you have—or they are not, in which case you should mind your own business and stay home.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
