Attack Buffer, M1A1-Mark II
This is a reprint of a previous article. Hope it brings you a few laughs after a very trying week.
The Colonel Rides the Buffer.
Back in 2004, having come back from the desert twenty pounds and one wife lighter, I bought a small little place over in Largo, Florida where I had found post deployment work in the private sector. It was a pretty decent little house. With no spouse and an all-of-the-sudden bit of extra time on my hands, I decided to fix up the place. The first thing that had to go, was that nasty, puke colored carpet. Tearing it out and having it replaced was going to be time consuming and fairly expensive. However, once again I was reminded that God takes care of fools and drunks, and as all my friends, acquaintances and Class-B Dependents know, I am well qualified in both categories.

In recent months, the behavior of Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein and the allegations made against him by dozens of women has taken America by storm and set off a chain reaction of women coming forward to speak about workplace sexual assault, sexual harassment, and the boys club that perpetuates this type of bad behavior. While the entertainment industry has been rocked the hardest by this scandal, others have gone more or less unaffected. Sexual assault in the US military has at least entered the public consciousness over the last decade, but many stories remain buried, suppressed, and untold.
to underscore. i made the point to you earlier that in terms of their visible decorations, i don t know when we ve had so many, so young since 1945. we haven t done anything like this since world war ii, which was much shorter but unlimited sort of obligation to the country. when you look at the sergeants major or lieutenant kor colonel, they have been out since their career. there s a real war going on out there. as we try to tell employe em if you have the chance to hire a recently retired sergeant major from the u.s. military, they can move the world for you.
