This Sailor's CreedI am a United States Sailor, and a Warrior first. I fight under the Red, White and Blue of my Fathers and descend from the line of Jones, Decatur and Perry. In my ears rings "I have not yet begun to fight" and "Don't give up the ship", and in my veins flows Fire and Gunpowder.
I will master my profession and demand that my fellow Sailors master theirs. I will follow when led, and lead when able. I will place nothing above the welfare of my fellow Sailors, save my Mission, and no matter what my ship, squadron, station or watch, I will help deliver Defeat to the Enemy.
With Honor in my deeds, Courage in my heart, and Commitment in my hands, I will do my duty until Victory is in hand and Liberty is secure.
The SeaThe Sea is a choosy mistress. She takes the men that come to her and weighs them and measures them. The ones she adores, she keeps; the ones she hates, she destroys. The rest she casts back to land.
I count myself among the adored, for I am Her willing Captive.

I’m soooo impressed
Christians debate Atheists on ABC this Wednesday. Pardon my *yawn* but the participants on either side are not really upper tier when it comes to defending or presenting their case.

More Radical Islamic Math
I wrote last week:
Britain’s Muslim population is estimated at about 1.6 million. The number of 7/7 bombing supporters in the survey jumped from 5% to 13% in just one year. When I did the math, I used 5%, hence the 80,000/4,000/200. Had I counted 13…

Local Liberal blogger takes me to task- I feel honored really
Last week, at the request of radio host Bryan Suits, I posted a plea to help an Iraqi translator gain a work Visa to come to America. I had no idea that a simple request for help, a situation where I gain nothing, would generate a cynical post de…

No smoking II
A military ban on the use of tobacco. The army may have a mutiny. Wouldn’t that be ironic?
