Progressives Attack Dana Loesch For 'Cheering' Marines Pissing On Dead Taliban




Me, I say what's the big deal? Of course, I said that over the Abu Ghraib thing - worse things happen at frat parties. Proof of the pudding is that none of the soldiers indicted in the Abu Ghraib scandal were convicted for torture; sentences were handed down for taking souvenir photographs of prisoners - yes that's illegal under the Geneva Conventions - and the catch-all blanket charge 'prisoner abuse'. I was in Germany when Abu Ghraib broke and it was a scream listening to the Germans - of all people - getting all high and mighty and talking about atrocities. Like, they should know.

Let me go on the record here once more by endorsing the Blackjack Pershing technique - the Gold Standard of Muslim Terrorist Corpse Desecration.

Prior to World War I, General Pershing served in the Philippines, during the Moro Insurrection. At that time there were a number of terrorist attacks on the United States forces by Muslim extremists.

So General Pershing captured 50 Moro terrorists and had them tied to posts for execution. He then had his men bring in two pigs and slaughter them in front of the now horrified terrorists.

Muslims detest pork because they believe pigs are filthy animals. Some of them simply refuse to eat it, while others wont even touch pigs at all, nor any of their by-products. To them, eating or touching a pig, its meat, its blood, etc, is to be instantly barred from paradise (and those virgins) and be doomed to Hell.

The soldiers then soaked their bullets in the pigs blood, and proceeded to execute 49 of the terrorists by firing squad. The soldiers then dug a big hole, dumped in the terrorists bodies and covered them in pig blood, entrails, etc. They let the 50th man go. And for the next forty-two years, there was not a single Muslim extremist attack anywhere in the world.


THIS IS A WAR, ladies, not a sporting event, and the enemy we're up against wants to kill EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US. To make it even MORE interesting, this enemy is not playing by anybody's rule book. This war is going to go on from now until the Second Coming and it doesn't matter to them a whit whether or not we follow the Law of Land Warfare. The fact that we do only serves to justify our treatment of captive terrorists to the rest of the world. Never mind the fact that the rest of the world equates Guantanamo to Auschwitz.

While we're on the subject - I've read the Geneva Convention, cover to cover, and the minimal requirements for a military tribunal for enemy prisoners accused of criminal acts - before or after their capture - is an officer to read the charges; this is the reason it is called a 'drumhead tribunal'. No mention of a judge, jury, or a legal defense - these are all legal niceties we provide in order to make it more palatable to the political class. I don't think there is any doubt that the terrorist tactics of the Taliban and al Qaeda enemy are criminal. Sentencing may be no harsher than the laws of the warring power under which the prisoners are being held - yes that means the death sentence may be handed out.

Nothing in there about dipping bullets in pig's blood, and when you think about it, urinating on corpses looks pretty weak compared to burying terrorists under a pile of pig's entrails.

Life Of Duty: Smokejumpers

Here's NRA's Life Of Duty newly debuted “Smokejumper” full feature:





This profile closely follows the North Cascades smokejumpers as they fight some of our nation’s deadliest wildfires – a profession that few know exists, but one for which we all should be grateful. In this feature, you will learn about the history of the profession, the rigorous training involved and the dangerous obstacles these patriots face with each jump.

SMOKEJUMPERS!

The 555th - "Triple Nickel" - Parachute Infantry Regiment

The 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion was an all-Black Airborne unit in the United States Army during World War II.


The 555th did not serve overseas during World War II. One of the reasons for this was the issue of segregation; European theater commanders "simply had no use" for the Black jumpers. The Asian theater was a different matter. Members of the 555th hoped to get into the war against the Japanese. According to Sergeant Walter Morris; "It was a secret mission called Operation Firefly. We thought we were going overseas to General MacArthur's theater". It wasn't until they arrived in Oregon, in May 1945 that they learned they'd be fighting the Japanese on the fire line in the Western United States.

During the winter of 1944–45, the Japanese sent 9000 fire balloons toward the western coast of North America; after three days, each balloon dropped an incendiary bomb. It was believed 1000 succeeded in reaching the United States, and 300 were witnessed. In order to conceal the efficacy of these attacks, the mission of the 555th was kept secret. In addition to fires started by the enemy incendiary devices, the 555th fought numerous other forest fires. Stationed at Pendleton Field, Oregon (site of initial training for the Doolittle's raid on Japan) with a detachment in Chico, California, unit members courageously participated in dangerous fire-fighting missions throughout the Pacific Northwest during the summer and fall of 1945. The group engaged in over 1200 missions, earning the nickname "Smoke Jumpers" in addition to "Triple Nickles." The only fatality in the unit died while jumping on 6 August 1945.

Members of the battalion are briefed before takeoff from Fort Dix in 1947.


The 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion was nicknamed the "Triple Nickles" because of its numerical designation and the selection of 17 of the original 20-member "colored test platoon" from the 92nd Infantry (Buffalo) Division. Hence, the origin of the term Buffalo Nickles.

Three buffalo nickels joined in a triangle or pyramid is the identifying symbol of the 555th Parachute Infantry Regiment.


"Tiger" Ted Lowry - the only fighter to go the entire 10 rounds twice against future heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano, and who nearly handed Marciano the only loss of his career - served with the 555th during World War II.

Lowry suffered the indignity of riding in the back of a US military bus in which German prisoners were allowed to sit in front. He fought 144 professional bouts including several against eventual world champions and was knocked out just three times.

Soon after returning to Camp Mackall in October 1945, the 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion was transferred to Fort Bragg, North Carolina, its home for the next two years. During this period the unit was attached to the elite 82d Airborne Division. When the battalion was inactivated on 15 December 1947, most of its personnel were reassigned to the division's organic 3d Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment.





During my time in the Airborne, black paratroopers were sometimes referred to as "Smokejumpers" - a term which could be interpreted as disrespectful depending upon the tone, although I have heard black paratroopers proudly refer to themselves as "Smokejumpers".

Another use of the term was a white girl who went with blacks. "Debbie? Oh, you won't get anywhere with her; she's a Smokejumper." Needless to say, this is a term of derision- there is no doubt.

In the Army I served in there was no racism, thank God. This is not to say that racism and prejudice did not exist - indeed it did; both kinds (regular AND reverse). What I mean is, there was no segregation, racist policies or overt manifestation of racism. Prejudism is a problem that is always going to exist, anywhere and everywhere in every society on Earth - I don't care how enlightened you think you are. But in the Army I served in, we were all green - "Uncle Sam's Lean, Green, Fighting Machine" - and things always worked best when we overlooked the color thing and just got on with it; on and off duty.

In the Infantry squads and platoons I served in the 82d Airborne, and later on teams in Special Forces, skin color simply was not an issue. Sure, there were some racial standoffs, but this was the rare exception; not the rule. We worked together, fought together and went on R&R together. We even laughed openly about things like the "Smokejumper girl" phenomenon. Somehow, things always got worse whenever race became an issue.
