A cautionary tale for the young Explicit Content
Whatever you are doing now will affect you years into the future, often to your health's detrement. I didn't know that. Ladies will enjoy the honeymoon part. I thought I was indestructable. Ten foot tall and bullet proof . But it was the things I did when I was younger that led me to be disabled......Read More

This is wierd
I have been very depressed lately and less interested in life. There's absolutely no reason for it. I am crazy about my wife. I couldn't ask for a better life partner. My siblings are my best friends. But there are things you never get over. As an Army officer in Vietnam in 1969, when one......Read More

DEROS
DEROS was a good dog. In Vietnam your DEROS date was the date you got to come home. One of my men rescued a puppy and named it DEROS. It loved us but hated Vietnamese so he was a perfect guard dog. I say Guard Dog instead of Watch Dog because even though he wasn't that big, Vietnamese men knew to......Read More

Bad Christian?
I know atheists think so, but why do I call myself a bad Chrisian? Because I find it impossible to lead a perfectly Christian life. That's why this song from Youtube makes so much sense to me. ROFL. Gary http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atBg9zLI2bA ...Read More

Bad feelings.
The very worst feeling in combat, after you get over fear for your own life, is seeing a buddy die. I'm still not over it. Many veterans don't like to talk about their experiences. I do. Well, I don't like it but I want people to know what combat is like so they will realize what out......Read More

Pat Condell
I'm a fan of his. I didn't know he was a stand-up comedian. Ironically he and I are at odds on some things. He is an avowed atheist. I'm a poor example of a Christian. But Mr. Condell calls it exactly the way he sees it. And there are times I think he could not be more right. The video below is......Read More

Murder is fun.
If you are a really sick puppy. I killed people in war. It wasn't fun, it was survival. I'm writing this to people who are wondering what it is like to kill someone. It is not a big thrill. It becomes a heavy weight on your heart. In Texas on Tuesday we executed a man named Cantu. He was the......Read More

Are you intelligent?
I've had a recent exchange with someoine I consider a friend over which is more valuable. Intelligence or knowledge. I think intelligence is far more important. With intelligence you can gain knowledge. But acquiring knowledge does not make you intelligent. Knowledge proves you have a good......Read More

America altruistic?
Just barely but more so than many other countries. A Bishop in England once asked if we have invaded Afghanistan and Iraq to enlarge our empire. The U.S. doesn't have an empire. We do try to influence other countries just the same as they try to influence us. By the end of WWII America......Read More

Barack Insane Obama
Let's review the accomplishments, and lack of accomplishments, of the first Muslim President of the Untied States of America (misspelling intentional). First his accomplishment(s). He got his Health-Care package rammed down the people's throat with a series of political threats and......Read More
