NOTE: One of the best things the Marine Corps has done in the past few years is to attach 120mm mortars with artillery instead of the infantry.
NOTE 1: If you download the pics then you'll get the accompanying caption. I won't take the time to add it to the pages unless the names of the Marines are included. Just my choice on how to do things.
The Military...its different but some want to "nasty" it up...
The military is different but some want to 'nasty' it up...not by raising the standards of the military but by lowering it to that of the general society.
I get it though.
Many look at the military, see how it is held in high esteem and want to destroy it since they can't measure up/or are too chicken shit to join it. Even military kids hold themselves to higher standards...
Wow. Not talking or playing grab ass like you see all around the country. Actual respect at colors. Love it.

Brits (Special Boat Squadron?) rescue citizens...
via Navy Times...
Did the British PM have to approve it because British citizens were involved? And second, did they operate outside Joint Special Operations Forces Afghanistan? I guess the real question is this. Was this a purely British mission?
I almost think that it was.
The British military, politicians and people are still smarting over a bungled rescue attempt earlier by US forces. Its one of the few public black eyes that has been laid on the footsteps of SEAL Team 6...and to be fair there are still questions as to what exactly happened.
Either way outstanding.
KABUL, Afghanistan — It was a risky, but successful operation: British and other NATO forces stormed a cave tucked in the mountains before dawn Saturday and rescued two foreign female aid workers and their two Afghan colleagues being held hostage by Taliban-linked militants.This is interesting because of this tidbit at the end of the article...
Helicopters, flying under the cover of darkness, ferried the rescue team to extreme northeastern Afghanistan where they suspected the hostages were being held. After confirming the workers were there, they raided the site, killed several militants and freed the hostages, ending their nearly two-week ordeal.
Helen Johnston, 28, from Britain; Moragwa Oirere, 26, from Kenya; and their two Afghan colleagues were kidnapped May 22 while traveling on horseback in Badakhshan province. The four work for Medair, a humanitarian non-governmental organization based near Lausanne, Switzerland.
“They were kidnapped by an armed terrorist group with ties to the Taliban,” said Lt. Col. Jimmie Cummings, a spokesman for the U.S.-led military coalition fighting in Afghanistan. “The kidnappers were armed with heavy machine guns, rocket-propelled grenades and AK47s. ... The hostages were being held in a cave in the mountains.”
British Prime Minister David Cameron approved the rescue operation Friday afternoon after becoming increasingly concerned about the safety of the hostages. The mission was carried out by British troops in cooperation with other NATO and Afghan forces, Cameron told reporters outside 10 Downing Street in London.Interesting on a couple of levels...

Update on military breastfeeding mothers.
Thanks DRAKE1 for getting me to this vid!
Not one woman in uniform has the right to bitch or complain about how men view them. There sisters put them in this light. There sisters are pushing this issue. There OWN sisters are making the case that women are different from men.
When you hop into the back of a CH-53 to do a TRAP mission and you see a female pilot sitting there can you blame a PFC for looking at her wondering if she's lactating? Heaven help guys doing PT in mixed sex units....
And guess what girls...you did it to yourselves.
Sidenote: I notice NOT one of the big boy military blogs is touching this with a ten foot pole. AMAZING. What a bunch of fucking cowards. You're bad and bold with every fucking thing else but this issue you won't touch???? Kiss my ass you bunch of arrogant clowns.
Breastfeeding Airmen wrong...
via Air Force Times...
This should get good.The Air Force has no policy on breastfeeding in uniform. But it does forbid airmen from using the uniform to advance the cause of an outside organization.“The uniform was misused. That’s against regulations,” Kosik said. “I want to be very, very clear about this. Our issue is not, nor has it ever been, about breastfeeding. It has to do with honoring the uniform and making sure it’s not misused. I can’t wear my uniform to a political rally, to try to sell you something or push an ideology. That was our point of contention.”
The Air Force doesn't have the balls to actually punish these females (no service would...the Mothers of America lobby is too strong and the JCS is filled with momma's boys) but you can bet your last dollar that this won't be the end of it. Like most advocacy groups...they won't know when to stop and I guess that they're attempting to recruit women from other services to be photographed in uniform in an effort to push this fake agenda.
