“Hillary Clinton finally turned over her home computer server to the FBI. She said the reason she took so long is because she accidentally deleted the subpoena.” – Jodi Miller
In my first article for TomDispatch back in 2007, I wrote about America’s senior military leaders, men like the celebrated David Petraeus. No matter how impressive, even kingly, they looked in their uniforms festooned with ribbons, badges, and medals of all sorts, colors, and sizes, their performance on the battlefield didn’t exactly bring to mind rainstorms of ribbon candy. So why, I wondered then, and wonder still, are America’s senior military officers so generally lauded and applauded? What have they done to deserve those chests full of honors and the endless praise in Washington and elsewhere in this country?
By giving our commanders so many pats on the back (and thanking the troops so effusively and repeatedly), it’s possible that we’ve prevented the development of an American-style stab-in-the-back theory — that hoary yet dangerous myth that a military only loses wars when the troops are betrayed by the homefront. In the process, however, we’ve written them what is essentially a blank check. We’ve given them authority without accountability. They wage “our” wars (remarkably unsuccessfully), but never have to take the blame for defeats. Unlike President Harry Truman, famous for keeping a sign on his desk that read “the buck stops here,” the buck never stops with them.
Think about two of America’s most celebrated generals of the twenty-first century, Petraeus and Stanley McChrystal and how they fell publicly from grace. Both were West Point grads, both were celebrated as “heroes,” despite the fact that their military “surges” in Iraq and Afghanistan proved fragile and reversible. They fell only because Petraeus was caught with his pants down (in an extramarital affair with a fawning biographer), while McChrystal ran afoul of the president by tolerating an atmosphere that undermined his civilian chain of command.
And here, perhaps, is the strangest thing of all: even as America’s wars continue to go poorly by any reasonable measure, no prominent high-ranking officer has yet stepped forward either to take responsibility or in protest. You have to look to the lower ranks, to lieutenant colonels and captains and specialists (and, in the case of Chelsea Manning, to lowly privates), for straight talk and the courage to buck the system. Name one prominent general or admiral, fed up with the lamentable results of America’s wars, who has either taken responsibility for them or resigned for cause. Yup — I can’t either. (This is not to suggest that the military lacks senior officers of integrity. Recall the way General Eric Shinseki broke ranks with the Bush administration in testimony before Congress about the size of a post-invasion force needed to secure Iraq, or General Antonio Taguba’s integrity in overseeing a thorough investigation of prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib. Their good deeds did not go unpunished.)
Authority without accountability means no one is responsible. And if no one is responsible, the system can keep chugging along, course largely unaltered, no matter what happens. This is exactly what it’s been doing for years now in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere.
JoeC, looking for serious article about the US Military on HuffPo or DailyKos is like looking for Steak Diane in the dumpster behind a fried chicken restaurant in Mumbai or Puna. (BTW, the Shilla Hotel makes a nice Steak Diane that you should try, if you have the time.)

GOP Lansing Michigan Right-Wing Religious HYPOCRITES http://www.alan.com/2015/08/19/todd-courser-youre-sure-thats-just-tea-youre-drinking/
If you were a state lawmaker (male, married) known for sniffy, holier-than-thou, just awful Tea Party politics and you were having an affair with another sniffy holier-than-thou Tea Party lawmaker (female, married) and you realized you were about to get caught, how would you handle it? Would you think, seriously, that the best way to deflect from the real affair was to invent a phony story about being accused of a liaisonwith a male prostitute and then get really pissed at the person spreading that story, even though that person was you?
You couldn’t have missed the stories coming out about this whole tawdry affair. (Don’t you love that word, “tawdry”? Couldn’t you see someone like Todd Courser using it?) The stories are everywhere now, all over the national airwaves, with our friends at Eclectablog staying right on top of it so we don’t have to. (updates galore!)
Todd Courser appeared on the scene in Lansing on January 1 of this year, when he was sworn in as a Freshman legislator (along with said inamorata and all-around legislative partner in crime, Cindy Gamrat). Before the month was out he was throwing his weight around about his office furniture (he didn’t like it) and about the seating arrangement in the House (he was offended by his placement).
Twenty days after he and his pal Gamrat were sworn in, they were already responding to the governor’s State of the State message…
Cline, a Lapeer County native, knew Courser before he became a legislator and worked on previous campaigns for the Lapeer Republican. So, he said, he was shocked to become a staffer and encounter a boss who treated his staffers with disrespect and adopted a ‘haughty and elitist’ attitude.
“We had a staff meeting in early January and [Courser] said, ‘Let’s get it straight boys. We’re not here to pass legislation. We’re here for the messaging moments and media,‘ Cline said. He said the decision to quit was wrenching.”
So the newly elected taxpayer-employed public servant thought he’d found the perfect pulpit. Fancy that.
But when the feces hit the fan, Todd couldn’t leave well enough alone. He couldn’t just go into his closet and pray quietly (Matthew 6:6) like Cindy apparently did. No, he had to take to Facebook (where he seems to spend a lot of time) and do a little crying out loud:
…Continued
UPDATE: For those of you who want the background on Courser and Gamrat’s theocratic BS in Michigan, click HERE for our coverage here at Eclectablog.
UPDATE 2: House Speaker Kevin Cotter is calling for an investigation into Courser and Gamrat’s use of public resources to hide their affair. U.S. Congresswoman Candice Miller is calling for Courser’s resignation (though strangely not for Gamrat’s):

Liz, I think I’d vote for Trump…
…not because that old self-promoting shyster would likely make a fine president…
…but because…
– other candidates are mostly pushing petty and distracting issues, or even seriously destructive ones, while talking around the important ones that Trump is pushing
– it is already clear what Bush 3 and Clinton 2 would do with a presidency… little of it positive for America
– gridlock is better than “getting something done”… as everything that “gets done” these days seems to be designed to increase government control, assist the unworthy, or unjustly transfer wealth.
– send a message to both parties that their failure to represent what a majority of average Americans want will be punished
– maybe… just maybe… Trump would actually have some positive aspects… such as a Reganesque resurgence in American strength, pride, and exceptionalism… which Bush 3. Clinton 2, and others, avoid or condemn.
A vote for Trump is not really a vote for Trump.
It is a vote against the other crappy candidates being artificially thrust upon the population by the monopoly two-party system that simply chases the same crappy goals from different angles.
Americans need to take America back from the corporations, special interests, and the 1%… and a vote for Trump, though hardly ideal, is the best choice of the few crappy options offered.
SEOUL (Reuters) – South Korea said it fired tens of artillery rounds toward North Korea on Thursday after the North launched a shell toward a South Korean loudspeaker that had been blaring anti-Pyongyang broadcasts, as tension escalated on the peninsula.
North Korea did not return fire but later warned Seoul in a letter that it would take military action if the South did not remove the loudspeakers within 48 hours, the South’s defense ministry said.
Well, now. Nice to see the ROK shoot back, and not just roll over. One inbound round, “tens” of outbound rounds. I wonder if Fat Boy was just timing the ROK’s response time… Things could get interesting in a bit, or they could simply fizzle out like usual.

Tbone, there is no gender bias here.
Women working with Rangers is necessary.
This is really going to increase combat efficiency and readiness. Women in Ranger units is a force multiplier.
You can probably see how not having to sweep the tent floor, clean guns, or prepare MREs frees men up for more fighting and fewer mundane domestic duties.
Not only that… it will save resources such as towels, tape, and rubber gloves… as it will no longer be necessary to construct a field puzzy under fire if you want to hammer out a quick combat jack.
I don’t know what planet you live on, Tbone, but I fully support women in the Rangers and so do many others around here.
I also support blacks in Ranger units… as somebody needs to carry ammo and shine boots.
…so there is no sexism OR racism here.

http://www.alan.com/2015/08/19/todd-courser-youre-sure-thats-just-tea-youre-drinking/
If you were a state lawmaker (male, married) known for sniffy, holier-than-thou, just awful Tea Party politics and you were having an affair with another sniffy holier-than-thou Tea Party lawmaker (female, married) and you realized you were about to get caught, how would you handle it? Would you think, seriously, that the best way to deflect from the real affair was to invent a phony story about being accused of a liaisonwith a male prostitute and then get really pissed at the person spreading that story, even though that person was you?
You couldn’t have missed the stories coming out about this whole tawdry affair. (Don’t you love that word, “tawdry”? Couldn’t you see someone like Todd Courser using it?) The stories are everywhere now, all over the national airwaves, with our friends at Eclectablog staying right on top of it so we don’t have to. (updates galore!)
Todd Courser appeared on the scene in Lansing on January 1 of this year, when he was sworn in as a Freshman legislator (along with said inamorata and all-around legislative partner in crime, Cindy Gamrat). Before the month was out he was throwing his weight around about his office furniture (he didn’t like it) and about the seating arrangement in the House (he was offended by his placement).
Twenty days after he and his pal Gamrat were sworn in, they were already responding to the governor’s State of the State message…

Joshua Cline, a former staffer for both Courser and Gamrat, quit in disgust in April, just months after the new session began. He recently agreed to an interview with the Detroit Free Press. The article focused, of course, on the inside story about the romantic hi-jinks, leaving what I thought was the real gem for later:
Cline, a Lapeer County native, knew Courser before he became a legislator and worked on previous campaigns for the Lapeer Republican. So, he said, he was shocked to become a staffer and encounter a boss who treated his staffers with disrespect and adopted a ‘haughty and elitist’ attitude.
“We had a staff meeting in early January and [Courser] said, ‘Let’s get it straight boys. We’re not here to pass legislation. We’re here for the messaging moments and media,‘ Cline said. He said the decision to quit was wrenching.”
So the newly elected taxpayer-employed public servant thought he’d found the perfect pulpit. Fancy that.
But when the feces hit the fan, Todd couldn’t leave well enough alone. He couldn’t just go into his closet and pray quietly (Matthew 6:6) like Cindy apparently did. No, he had to take to Facebook (where he seems to spend a lot of time) and do a little crying out loud:

UPDATE 2: House Speaker Kevin Cotter is calling for an investigation into Courser and Gamrat’s use of public resources to hide their affair. U.S. Congresswoman Candice Miller is calling for Courser’s resignation (though strangely not for Gamrat’s):
Liz, I think I’d vote for Trump…
…not because that old self-promoting shyster would likely make a fine president…
…but because…
– other candidates are mostly pushing petty and distracting issues, or even seriously destructive ones, while talking around the important ones that Trump is pushing
– it is already clear what Bush 3 and Clinton 2 would do with a presidency… little of it positive for America
– gridlock is better than “getting something done”… as everything that “gets done” these days seems to be designed to increase government control, assist the unworthy, or unjustly transfer wealth.
– send a message to both parties that their failure to represent what a majority of average Americans want will be punished
– maybe… just maybe… Trump would actually have some positive aspects… such as a Reganesque resurgence in American strength, pride, and exceptionalism… which Bush 3. Clinton 2, and others, avoid or condemn.
A vote for Trump is not really a vote for Trump.
It is a vote against the other crappy candidates being artificially thrust upon the population by the monopoly two-party system that simply chases the same crappy goals from different angles.
Americans need to take America back from the corporations, special interests, and the 1%… and a vote for Trump, though hardly ideal, is the best choice of the few crappy options offered.

(With Deez Nuts as vice-president)

Deez Nuts. Hee hee.
I’m bringing my little American flag to the pep rally. 🙂

Shots Fired:
http://news.yahoo.com/south-korea-fires-tens-artillery-rounds-north-korea-084136508.html
SEOUL (Reuters) – South Korea said it fired tens of artillery rounds toward North Korea on Thursday after the North launched a shell toward a South Korean loudspeaker that had been blaring anti-Pyongyang broadcasts, as tension escalated on the peninsula.
North Korea did not return fire but later warned Seoul in a letter that it would take military action if the South did not remove the loudspeakers within 48 hours, the South’s defense ministry said.
Well, now. Nice to see the ROK shoot back, and not just roll over. One inbound round, “tens” of outbound rounds. I wonder if Fat Boy was just timing the ROK’s response time… Things could get interesting in a bit, or they could simply fizzle out like usual.
Stay Safe
Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead: Adendorff, what’s wrong with them? Why don’t they fight?
Adendorff: They’re counting your guns.
Lieutenant John Chard: *What?*
Adendorff: Can’t you see that old boy up on the hill? He’s counting your guns. Testing your firing power with the lives of his warriors.

EGGHEAD says…”– it is already clear what Bush 3 and Clinton 2 would do with a presidency… little of it positive for America”
As if both would go to war in Iraq AGAIN ❓ NOT ❗ JEB BUSH has the same WAR HAWKS crowd behind him as his EGGHEAD big(but really little) brother 😀
EGGHEAD says…”– maybe… just maybe… Trump would actually have some positive aspects… such as a Reganesque resurgence in American strength, pride, and exceptionalism… which Bush 3. Clinton 2, and others, avoid or condemn.”
EGGHEAD being EGGHEAD again 🙄
He pretends that the GOP/Bush sickazz/kill middle-easterners Dynasty based on LIES/CREATIONISM is the same as the democrats/Hillary Rodham. The BIG difference is that the Bush’s are/would continue to be a sickazz kill middle-easterners DYNASTY based on LIES/CREATIONISM(PURE BLOOD S. KOREAN STYLE) while a Hillary Rodham presidency isn’t “PURE BLOOD” nor dynasty even among American standards.
ROKDROP GENDER BIAS led by EGGHEAD, and followed by LIZ, and GI Korea ~
History in the making: 2 women will graduate from Army Ranger course
http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/18/politics/women-graduate-army-ranger-course/
“This course has proven that every Soldier, regardless of gender, can achieve his or her full potential,” Secretary of the Army John M. McHugh said in a statement.”
Tbone, there is no gender bias here.
Women working with Rangers is necessary.
This is really going to increase combat efficiency and readiness. Women in Ranger units is a force multiplier.
You can probably see how not having to sweep the tent floor, clean guns, or prepare MREs frees men up for more fighting and fewer mundane domestic duties.
Not only that… it will save resources such as towels, tape, and rubber gloves… as it will no longer be necessary to construct a field puzzy under fire if you want to hammer out a quick combat jack.
I don’t know what planet you live on, Tbone, but I fully support women in the Rangers and so do many others around here.
I also support blacks in Ranger units… as somebody needs to carry ammo and shine boots.
…so there is no sexism OR racism here.
Carry on,,Tbone.
After half of your shi* I quite reading because it’s more proof what a sexual deviant/women hater you are just like your partners in crime. The Subway guy will bring you and them down…
The Subway Guy? Why do you involve the sexualization of children in a discussion of athletic women?
Are you a pervert, Tbone?
Must you always think of sexy little children even when others are clearly discussing nothing but adult women engaged in adult behavior?
If you must be like that, keep it to yourself and don’t spoil the conversation for the adults here discussing how nice to be in a firefight, lying prone with an M60 on a bipod, balls deep in a female Ranger who is spotting for you…
…though it could be distracting…
“Two tangos at 11 o’clock.”
Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat
“Oh God, oh God, oh God… you might have missed… better fire off another belt just to be sure!”
“Come on, baby, quit spotting imaginary terrorists before you flood the foxhole.”
What about you, Tbone? You prefer looking up little girls’ dresses while riding the escalator?
USFK colonel jumps from apartment in apparent suicide A U.S. Army colonel jumped from an apartment in Seoul in an apparent suicide, police said Thursday.
Yongsan Police Station said the 38-year-old colonel working for the 8th U.S. Army, identified only by the initial S, was found dead earlier in the day in the parking lot of an apartment building in central Seoul.http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2015/08/116_185220.html
Full bird by 38? That guy was on the fast track.
BTW, in case you needed light reading:
18 U.S. Code § 1924 – Unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or material
(a) Whoever, being an officer, employee, contractor, or consultant of the United States, and, by virtue of his office, employment, position, or contract, becomes possessed of documents or materials containing classified information of the United States, knowingly removes such documents or materials without authority and with the intent to retain such documents or materials at an unauthorized location shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both.
(b) For purposes of this section, the provision of documents and materials to the Congress shall not constitute an offense under subsection (a).
(c) In this section, the term “classified information of the United States” means information originated, owned, or possessed by the United States Government concerning the national defense or foreign relations of the United States that has been determined pursuant to law or Executive order to require protection against unauthorized disclosure in the interests of national security.
Deez Nuts sounds like a leader with some balls.
“identified only by the initial S”
Look at that S colonel go!
“Deez Nuts sounds like a leader with some balls.”
Sounds like he has this election in the bag… but, when gets elected, many government employees get the sack.
😛
When Deez Nuts makes a promise, he will never bolt.
#36
Coincident to the Ashley Madison data dump?
Deez Nutz should have a strong, hard election.
Deez Nuts will be bouncing up and down in the polls for a while, but I’m willing to bet he will be out of action before we reach the grand finale.
Shame too. We need some hard hitting pols in the election to shake things up. So far, it’s been a pretty limp crowd of candidates. Even Grandma Hill hasn’t really risen like I expected from her.
You guys are so immature.
(pffftthh)
I just found out what the whole Deez Nuts campaign is all about. Started by a 15 year old boy. Talk about the serialization of children @35 ? 🙄
“Talk about the serialization of children”
Autocorrect turns perverts into organizers.
Voting for Deez Nuts could help avoid getting shafted.
This election could get hairy.
I predict confidence will be a key part of the Nuts strategy.
Deez Nuts must strut into the room and act like the biggest thing there.
The campaign has attempted to contact the gentleman who supported Romney in 2012 with a facial tattoo to see if they could likewise count on his support.
A new campaign slogan has grassroots supporters walking around major metropolitan areas telling people that Deez has been looking for their vote.
