I never said they were properly supplied at the time. The allies had done a very effective job of cutting off their supply lines across the Mediterranean Sea. What I meant is that Rommel left them pretty much to their own devices, left his command in the lurch, and committed suicide. He left Afri...

Herodotusthe Elder,

I said just the opposite. If the government would get out of the way there would be job creation. The "Top" is the segment of our country that creates the jobs by investing their money. Without them there is no capital to create jobs, other than over paid actors that is. Gover...

Desertwalker,

Do not confuse the Nazi government and what they did with the men who fought for their country. Using that criteria, in WWII towards the end, Allied troops were facing teenagers and old men. These troops had been issued "sawtooth" bayonets, go in easy and pull everything out. U.S. t...

A fitting tribute to what was unquestionably "the baddest mother in the Valley" and their crews. My Dad was in Europe in WWII, the Sherman tank crews gave the Sherman the nickname "The Ronson" because of what happened when a lone Sherman faced a Panther or Tiger tank. Ronson was a cigarette light...

Not only is Stevie one of the most beautiful women in rock n roll she knows what she's talking about.

The Moody Blues set the bar for what I call "Cerebral Rock". If you listen to the message you will understand.

Your son is cut from a different cloth than most, just as our son is. Our prayers are with him.

What? Kings of Sparta, what the hell do you mean by real soldiiers? Our son is U.S. Army Airborne. He's been in since before 9/11. He went into Iraq in 2003 and he and his Team served with the Special Forces. He went back into Iraq in 2005. He and his Team are currently in Afghanistan. Have you e...

It was weird, we came home and the thanks we got was nothing like we'd expected. I try not to dwell on what went down so many years ago.

The history behind the Southern Rebellion has been twisted by the Socialists and generations of children educated in our government schools believe that Slavery was the root cause. They are wrong. The Civil War was the result of government taxation.

The finest rockn roll band

I'm 62 and have been getting junk from the AARP for years. Never trusted them, there was a motive driving the organization that wasn't adding up. After the Great Socialist Savior was elected and they came out in support of ObamaCare I was sure I'd read them right all along. Although to be honest ...

Dr. Paul is right on the money. There does however remain a problem that needs to be addressed and that's without Conservtive control in both houses of the legislature Dr. Paul will have as much trouble pulling this country from the grip of Socialism as "Barky" Obama has had taking us further int...

Interesting, my Pops was in the Army Air Corps and was in England and Europe and never talked about his time there. He wouldn't. Might be the difference between those on a ship and those on the ground, I don't know.

Hindsight is always 20/20. Hitler refused to defer to his own officers who knew more than he did about naval warfare. He was after all a ground pounder in WWI.

The mighty Bismark was brought down by what should be considered the luckiest shot ever fired in naval combat. No warship would have aimed a shot at the Rudders. The gunners, and their commanders were taught to shoot for the center of the ship, its command center, or its gun turrets. One errant r...

All things come their end as the Creator has decided. RJD is now and will ever live on.

I experienced this in real life. I had a "Bella Linda". Her name was Linda, I gave her a ring when I was in the Marines. She blew me off when I came home.

Hell bro I'm 62, do you really think these morons are going to pay attention to the truth?
