British insanity over their carriers.

Wow.

The Brits are definitely confused.

The most powerful political ad this year.

This is the most powerful political ad I've seen this year.  Even the President's most fevered supporters are left speechless after watching this...the Morning Joe pair were left clawing for words.  I consider that priceless.  Anyway, I'm sure you've seen it, but drink it all in again...and wonder how you're going to vote this fall.

Women in the Infantry. Did the Marine Corps just do an about face????

via Marine Times.

Expanded infantry training for women does not mean the Marine Corps is ready to send women into combat assignments, the Corps’ top personnel official said Wednesday
“Assignment policy for women has not changed,” said Lt. Gen. Robert Milstead Jr., the deputy commandant for manpower and reserve affairs.
“We are not training women to be infantry officers,” he said. “We do not have that authority. That authority rests with Congress.”
His comments came before the Senate Armed Services subcommittee on personnel, where the panel chairman is Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., a former Navy secretary and Marine combat veteran. Webb said the decision is controversial, and that he will be closely watching.
As Marine Corps Times reported last week, the service is in the midst of an extensive research effort to determine what additional jobs could be opened to women. Plans call for sending an undetermined number of female volunteers to the Infantry Officers Course, a three-month program in Quantico, Va., where Marine officers are groomed to serve in direct combat roles and lead troops into battle.
