• Father Furious After Army Son Hit in the Chest With a Mallet, Suffers Seizure During Hazing

  September 2, 2012 at 2:23pm

  In reply to floridareader.

  I have retired after 35 years in the Army – 15 as an Infantry Officer (Special Warfare), and 20 as a surgeon, and now serve in emergency medicine in a civilian hospital. I’ve seen (and been) “hazed” at conclusion of Airborne (Prop Blast party), Ranger, and goodness knows where else. Never heard of deadly force being used as part of a “hazing.” AND. . . using a two hand mallet to strike a person in is beyond belief.

  Try USAA. I’ve been with them since 1966 – and now thanks to changes in client requirements all of my children and now grandchildren have USAA – Insurance, Banking, and Investments – and all right here in the second best location in Texas (and the best one with a river wallk).

• Calif. 8th Grader Pulled Out of Class for Having Photo of Military Brother on Her Binder

  August 18, 2012 at 4:08pm

  I’ll try this idea and let it stand on its own here instead of hooked to another comment.

  IDEA: How about all us Vets out here send an old (or new) dog-eared photo of yourself in uniform in the combat zone or when in the service. We’ll ask Glenn Beck to box them up and send them to the little girl with a note of support (Airborne!). I’ll send one in my 5SFG tigers, and a later one in my Doc White Tigers…

• Calif. 8th Grader Pulled Out of Class for Having Photo of Military Brother on Her Binder

  In reply to nobull14.

  Hey all y’all VETS out there… Let’s flood Glenn Beck with photos of Vets when on active duty. I’ve got one taken in RVN that I will donate. If he gets two truckloads of photos, let’s ask him to UPS them to that little girl. She can then know that some of us really care. I’ll send two: one in my 5thSFG get-up, and a later one in my Doc outfit – (hint: both in tigers.)

• Should Thomas Jefferson’s Alleged Slave Mistress Be Included in a List of First Ladies? MSNBC Host Thinks So

  only if the move includes first lady status to all of JFK’s, Clinton’s, and all the other presidents’ special friends…..

• ‘Come Up With a More Neutral Term’: MSNBC Panel Debates Using the Word ‘Hero’ To Describe Fallen Soldiers

  In reply to nappy.

  Words fail me! I’m tired … really tired after a very long weekend in ER. However, while words fail, tears seem on the brink … followed by prayers for our fallen heroes from my three wars and the current two and the many past. God bless them all.

• Oh, Canada: Canadian Museum Debuts Taxpayer-Funded ‘X-Rated’ Sex Exhibit Designed For Children as Young as 12

  May 18, 2012 at 7:43am

  In reply to florida123.

  Seems as if the museums displaying this exhibit ought to fabricate twenty or so cubicles, each with red drapes, red lighting, and a water bed for practical exercises for the children. After all, the standard, dull instruction on how to . . . may not be enough for the current human race to grasp how to reproduce or even to be overcome by erotic fantasies. God help us! Of course, it is not appropriate to say that “things can’t become worse.” Hold on to the safety bar, the roller coaster ride is going to be fast and furious. Prayer may help. For sure, voting in November will help somewhat. But what we see here goes beyond political party, social contract, or even what is considered lawful and “correct.” Every night the ER fills with “victims” of these conditions who have made a choice to indulge in one or another or all of these forms of self abuse. Prayer and positive-peaceful involvement are the answers. The flip side of this is for all the “good people” from coast to coast to pull their head out of their rear and take note of what is happening and band together (in unity there is strength) and do something about it in a positive way.

• Do You Know Anybody Like Obama? Beck’s Latest Expose Could Go Down in History

  May 11, 2012 at 7:22am

  In reply to RossPoldark.

  NICK84 . . . What will we do if Chief George’s intuition does not pan out? Most of us will get on our knees and thank God for answering our prayers and delivering this great nation of ours from the edge. If we go down, there will be no place to which people may run from oppression.If there was no United States in the 1930′s & 1940′s Europe would have fallen; if no US in the 50′s, then South Korea would be under the heel of the Communists; if no US in the 60′s & 70′s, then no place to which the brave citizens of the Republic of Vietnam would have been able to brave storms and death to run. I know of what I speak since I lived with and among the South Vietnamese for over two years and went back for a short visit in the late 70′s with a few friends to locate those brave families with whom we lived and facilitate their settlement in the US. We were less than a half step ahead of the communist death squads who were murdering any and all who served with or sheltered the soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines who were fighting for their freedom. Don’t let the history books and certain people convince you it was a bad war and we had no business being there. We left many good friends in under the guns of the communists when they took over. Those “freedom loving” communists murdered over a million of these brave, wonderful people. Many escaped and are great citizens of our country. Find one of these brothers of ours and ask them their opinion of what they see on t

• Catch the Biggest ‘Supermoon’ of 2012 Tonight!

  May 5, 2012 at 4:33pm

  In reply to super six four.

  I’ve worked as Emergency Medicine Surgeon at various teaching hospitals since I retired from the military. There may not be anything “to” behavior and a full moon. However, like last night, every full moon brings out five times the people to the ER with about five times the seriousness of their situations. Also, ever increasing impacts of drug overdoses. I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fullness of that neighboring body out there in the sky. However, we staff the ER for higher influx at every full moon. Lately, people who are brought to our ER seem to be representing the general social, political and economic conditions here in big city Texas.
