Rick Rescorla was a Vietnam War hero who, though of British birth, served in the U.S. Army and fought at the battle of Ia Drang, which was depicted in the Mel Gibson movie “We Were Soldiers Once.”
If that’s not enough heroism for one lifetime, he gave his life on September 11, 2001, helping […]

The last media outlet on Earth that you’d expect to expose one of the Left’s most cherished myths, did just that this morning. The Washington Post–yes, the POST, not the Times–actually published today an editorial titled “‘Bush Lied’? If Only It Were That Simple.”

Last night, I was at Michelle Malkin’s blog, reading an old post that opened my eyes on what really happened in Haditha.

Asked why he thinks Gitmo should be closed, Admiral Mullen says: […]

Show you support the War on Terror, the detention of terrorists at Guantanamo and the troops, wear green today!

Reading about the ACLU’s campaign to close Gitmo on the excellent Stop the ACLU blog, we were inspired to create a campaign of our own.
We’re calling it “Wear Green.” The idea is to wear green on January 11 to counter the ACLU’s campaign that day, while showing you support the troops, the […]

Adam Gadahn, the American al-Qaida member, released a video recently. And he sounds a lot like a left-wing blog or website:

The commander of a U.S. military prison in Iraq has been arrested for allegedly “aiding the enemy,” the military said.
