Pass The Ammo

The more I learn about Ted Nugent… the more I dearly love the guy. He doesn’t pull any punches. I just stumbled across this interview with a british journalist, while searching for hunting quotes.

Ted Nugent, a heavy metal guitar legend and devoted (bow) hunter, was being interviewed by a French journalist. Eventually, the conversation turned to his love of outdoor pursuits. The journalist asked, “What do you think the last thought is in the head of a deer before you shoot it? Is it, “Are you my friend?” or maybe “Are you the one who killed my brother?”

Nugent replied, “They aren’t capable of that kind of thinking. All they care about is, What am I going to eat next? Who am I going to screw next? and, Can I run fast enough to get away? They are very much like the French in that.”

Some of you may remember this photo when it first came out. Here’s some info on the soldier. It’s about post traumatic stress disorder, and the true burden that a soldier in action carry’s. Well worth the read.

The photograph hit the world on Nov. 10, 2004: a close-cropped shot of a U.S. Marine in Iraq, his face smeared with blood and dirt, a cigarette dangling from his lips, smoke curling across weary eyes.

It was an instant icon, with Dan Rather calling it “the best war photograph in recent years.” About 100 newspapers ran the photo, dubbing the anonymous warrior the “Marlboro Man.”

The man in the photograph is James Blake Miller, now 21, and he is an icon, although in ways Rather probably never imagined.

He’s quieter now — easier to anger. He turns to fight at the sound of a backfire, can’t look at fireworks without thinking of fire raining down on a city. He has trouble sleeping, and when he does, his fingers twitch on invisible triggers.

The diagnosis: post-traumatic stress disorder.

Dead Germans lay strewn all over the road.

“I don’t take prisoners. Period,” Smith said 60 years later. “I’m not paid to take prisoners. I’m paid to kill them.

“That’s all there is to it.”

Kim Du Toit posted the entire article about the passing of one tough Canadian. The last man to win the Victoria Cross (Equivelant to the Medal of Honor). He earned the VC when he beat off more than just a few Germans during WWII. The guy is awesome.

Run over to Chucks site, and see the newly posted photo of him, his wife, his mom, and some cool guy.

This picture made my eyes mist over.

American Soldier has posted about the great military leader, William C. Westmoreland, passing on recently. He gives you a bit of his background, and few more famous quotes by the man. Run over and give it a read.

Here are the 3 quotes he lists, and they are completely true.

“The military don’t start wars. Politicians start wars.”

“I do not believe that the men who served in uniform in Vietnam have been given the credit they deserve. It was a difficult war against an unorthodox enemy.”

“Television is an instrument which can paralyze this country.”

Thanks Jack Army.

Via Army Times. During a routine patrol in Baghdad June 2, Army Pfc. Stephen Tschiderer, a medic, was shot in the chest by an enemy sniper, hiding in a van just 75 yards away. The incident was filmed by the insurgents.

Tschiderer, with E Troop, 101st “Saber” Cavalry Division, attached to 3rd Battalion, 156th Infantry Regiment, 256th Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, was knocked to the ground from the impact, but he popped right back up, took cover and located the enemy’s position.

After tracking down the now-wounded sniper with a team from B Company, 4th Battalion, 1st Iraqi Army Brigade, Tschiderer secured the terrorist with a pair of handcuffs and gave medical aid to the terrorist who’d tried to kill him just minutes before.

Now you can consider me just plain silly… but this should be plastered on the front pages. Just to slap all those “American troops kill babies” crowd. This guy is a hero. If I were in his boots, and I just got shot in the chest by this creep. I would have gladly evacuated my 30 round mag into him, starting from the ankels on up, avoiding all vitals, and finishing with a final brain tapping round after the guy had time to wallow in some severe pain and trauma. But hey, thats just me. Some say I’m just a blood thirsty, gun crazy, honky from Idaho. And I can’t deny all of those allegations.

By the way, thanks for the link, Toxique.

Regarding this post back in December, Officer Krelicek is making his triumphant return home!

For those who remember, he was a newer officer in town when he was responsible for apprehending a bad guy, when he was shot in the face by the scum. He has been over in a hospital in Seattle getting reconstructive surgery. Now he’s ready to return. The local press had a pro photographer go over and spend a week with him shootin photos, as he prepares to come home. Thank the Lord for his return. And thanks to Michael Kralicek for his service to us civy’s. Welcome home officer!

Please pray for Chuck and his family, as he returns home from the sandbox. He and another Iraqi were injured in an IED explosion, and sustained wounds to his legs and arms. Run over and give him and the Mrs, a supportive comment.

Just so everyone knows, Chuck did not lose his humor in all of this mess… I was told the first thing he asked when he was pulled from the canal (the blast blew him into a canal) was: “Be honest with me, guys. Do I still have my face and my ‘package’?” That is sooooo Chuck. Always worried about his “manliness.”

I almost performed the ol’ ‘coffee out the nose’ trick.

Gosh I love gunny. Now his show Mail Call is on DVD. I know there are plenty of you who would love to spend the few bucks to bless this honky.

The owner of Hardin County’s two movie theaters is refusing to show the nation’s top-grossing movie.

Like many veterans, Ike Boutwell has an issue with “Monster-in-Law” star Jane Fonda. On the ticket window at the Elizabethtown Movie Palace is a sign that tells movie goers the cinema will not show the film because of what she did in Vietnam. Below the message are pictures of Fonda clapping with a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft crew in 1972. Read full story »

It’s great to know that their are still All-American business owners, who arn’t afraid to put the nation before business. May Jane Fonda rot in hell for her treachery to the very ones who died for her freedoms. Never forgive, Never forget.

Fonda Gets Owned!

Fonda, 67, spoke at Unity Temple, in The Plaza shopping district, about her new best-selling book, “My Life So Far,” and her new movie with Jennifer Lopez called “Monster-In-Law.”

At about 9 p.m., police said 54-year-old Michael A. Smith, who had been waiting in line for about 90 minutes, passed a book to Fonda and then spit a large amount of tobacco juice into her face.

This guy, is, the, man.

So a Polish priest, an English woman commoner and an American movie actor walk into a bar. Sounds like the beginnings of a funny joke doesn’t it? So what do these three have in common? …they saved the world.

“The march of freedom and democracy will leave Marxism-Leninism on the ash-heap of history.”
