Armed Forces Medley through the Years

To honor fallen veterans of our own communities, I hope you will join me in listening to the Armed Forces Medley from one or more of the past five years since my favorite old veteran faded into glory. I’m sure there’s a big war story room where old veterans go to tell their stories until they become true. Or at least they tell them well enough they seem to be true.

(Don’t worry… the medleys get shorter and shorter for some reason. I’ve annotated the length in parenthesis, to assist you in choosing. 2015 is best one, I believe.)

YEP, WE’RE FUCKED!

Found via Knuckledraggin, the article and comments at Bayou Renaissance are worth reading. I suggest reading the full article below first as he does not post the entire article.

Open Letter to Grads from LTC(ret) Heffington:

(This was written by LTC (USA, ret.) Robert M. Heffington, as an open letter to graduates of the United States Military Academy at West Point. It has only been edited for format, and may differ in that respect from the original. My apologies to Lt. Colonel Heffington if this has been misrepresented in any way)

Dear Sir/Ma’am,

Before you read any further, please understand that the following paragraphs come from a place of intense devotion and loyalty to West Point. My experience as a cadet had a profound impact upon who I am and upon the course of my life, and I remain forever grateful that I have the opportunity to be a part of the Long Gray Line. I firmly believe West Point is a national treasure and that it can and should remain a vitally important source of well trained, disciplined, highly educated Army officers and civilian leaders. However, during my time on the West Point faculty (2006–2009 and again from 2013–2017), I personally witnessed a series of fundamental changes at West Point that have eroded it to the point where I question whether the institution should even remain open.

Sec Army to Worldwide Army Commands: “Balance Lactation Support and Readiness”

Guest Post by Ray Starmann

Adolf Hitler once said, “Give me five years and you won’t recognize Germany anymore.”

Well, we’ve given Barack Hussein Obama seven years and you can’t recognize the US Army anymore.

The Obama Administration is literally carpet bombing the military on a daily basis with directives, memos, policies and doctrine that if they weren’t actually happening would be considered to be something out of a Kafkaesque, Gloria Steinem nightmare.

Today, I examined a Memorandum for Record, dated September 20, 2015 and signed by the former Secretary of the Army, John McHugh.

You remember Secretary McHugh, he’s the guy who dodged and delayed Congressman Steve Russell after Russell requested the Ranger School records of the first two female “graduates”, Captain Griest and First Lieutenant Haver. I believe McHugh led the cover up of what actually happened down at Fort Benning, a conspiracy that continues to this day.

Stay tuned USDW readers…

McHugh’s Memorandum for Record is titled, Army Directive 2015-37(Breastfeeding and Lactation Support Policy)

Here are some highlights from the memo:

“Commanders and soldiers will balance lactation support and readiness.”
