  • The Futility of Armor

    New Wars

    Don’t Blame the Strykers The Stryker armored vehicles, made popular in Iraq and wildly successful there, are getting a bad rap in Afghanistan due to mounting casualties. Here is Robert Haddick at Foreign Policy.com with “Why Don’t Stryker Brigades Work in Afghanistan?”: On July 5, the U.S. Army’s 5th Stryker Brigade arrived in Kandahar [...]

  • Game Day

    Snead 303


    I'm pretty sure nothing I've written about these games has been anywhere near the mark, all season, so I'm just going to stop. Arkansas thinks this game is a must-win? Puh-lease, pigs. I can only hope the Gamecock coaches and players aren't approaching this game [...]

    guantanamo bay

    Starting with its semantically-nonsensical premise, America’s “War on Terror” (-ism) has only been slightly more effective than its “War on Drugs.”

    Which is to say it hasn’t been very effective at all.

    One big problem?  We’ve basically tried to have it both ways – on the one [...]

  • Saturday Six – Episode 291

    Patrick's Place

    Having a stressful week? Oh, the stress meter’s off the scale here at Patrick’s Place, so I thought I’d make de-stressing a topic for this week. It might even make its way to tomorrow’s quiz, too. First to play last week: Otowi of Otowi. Congratulations! (According to the rules, “First to Play” [...]

    If you happen to be like S.C. Wildlife Federation president “Clinch” Heyward and base your entire environmental policy on the current temperature, you might be interested in knowing that the National Weather Service issued freeze warnings for ten South Carolina counties Friday night … and frost [...]

  • The Hero of Fort Hood

    New Wars

    We’ve kept our opinions to ourselves on the Fort Hood Massacre, not wanting to add to the hurt the nation is suffering through. Our thoughts and prayers certainly go out to the families of the fallen. Consistently we have noticed in our nearly 44 years, that some light shines in [...]

  • Army Base? Please!

    The Newsless Courier

    Proving once again that the headline writers for the P&C need to get out more, the banner headline screams "Army base" in Friday's paper. Why do I think none of them ever served in the military?

    There are Army posts.

    Notice the [...]
