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.
Praise for the Yankee SailorDoing the tough work that most journalists shun.

The Padilla Case: What Does Jihad Mean?
These are old arguments that seem to be disproved over and over again. If Padilla’s definition of jihad isn’t violent, then why was he in the dirty bomb business? perhaps the jury should read this.Defense attorneys in the Jose Padilla

Time warp at the Sun-Sentinel
Oh its an editorial from last week. It looks like me that the same idiots who can’t report a simple crime story, or report the names of teen criminals who commit attempted murder, can’t run the Sun-Sentinel’s website either. I am not computer savvy,…
