HORSES AND BAYONETS

Troops DO need horses and bayonet's

Last night without Romney even mentioning horses or bayonet's, the pres mocked Romy's complaint about the size of the Navy fleet by comparing ship numbers to horses and bayonets.

The Presidents mocking comment threw the spotlight on fighting techniques-because both bayonets and horses have remained important parts of U.S. Military right up to the present day.

Bayonets are still an integral item of military equipment.  Bayonet instruction remains part of basic training for Marines and was part of Army training till 2010.  At which point the Army now calls Correct use of a knife, but does not disuse the fixing of bayonets.

The military is equipped for a knife fight and when on the ground, in buildings and in close combat. It is important and saves lives. 

Four years ago, a British soldier won the Military Cross after using his bayonet to kill a Taliban militant, having ordered his platoon to affix bayonets. 

Horses are less important to modern methods of fighting, but have not been phased out.


In 2001 the first U.S. troops to enter Afghanistan did so by riding into the country alongside America's allies in the Northern Alliance. 

For many members of the special operations teams the remote desert landscape did not allow them to use more common methods of transport. 

All you have to do is read the books our soldiers have written, the accounts of battles, and you'll visit first hand how important these to items in our inventory truly are. 

Despite what might have been suggested through mocking, both are still used as tools of battle and allow our troops to survive, fight and live to this day so they can come home to their families.

Something is Wrong.......This is not America

People are messed up with there thinking.....

You know, I'm dumb founded.  Have been for a few years now.  It seems like everything that is normal is wrong, everything that is right is now a sin and people are complaining about their on lazyness.

I often wonder why people don't love this place we live as being blessed to do so and thankful of our founders for establishing a land of liberty not found in the rest of the world.  I believe it's because we have become ungrateful, spoiled children that thinks we are owed everything

When this country was founded, if you ate you grew it. If you you had shelter, you built it. If you were in danger, you protected your self.  You had communities that would trade with each other the things you needed.  If someone was hurt, sick or disabled, that community would help out.  People came together under a common cause and depended on each other and what they deemed was their god. 

Today, we have become spoiled.  We do not depend on our selves but gladly take from those who do.  At one point in history this was called lazy, deadbeat, and shameful.  Today, it's called social justise. 

When a gov taxes people that work and work hard to build their dreams because they have the freedom to do so, and then they have it or at very least a large part of it taken away through taxes to give cell phones, food, shelter, ect and ect. to those that just sit back and complain that life is not fair...  well, it's pretty much isn't.  Never in world history has it been, ever. 

We are the only country in the world that allows people freedom to do what they want, when they want, and how they want.  However, the problem with this now days is the gov has passed so many laws and taxes that it restrict business, (large and small)  in such a way that it is difficult to grow, hire people and prosper.

With that said, the gov has as always prospered off the backs of others freedoms and has given and created a voting base by giving that hard work of others to people that don't, can't, will not work.  They have created a social justice society rather than a equal justice society.  Or rather taken our county toward a socialist type on the back of political correctness.  What was once right is now wrong and what was once wrong is now right.

Now, you may say... I can't get a job.  The economy is bad.   YES!!!  This is true.  The gov cannot created jobs, free people do.  What the gov can do is get out of the way like they have since our beginnings, let people created ideas that allow those people to hire.  What the gov has done is creat laws, taxes, rules and regulations that have pretty much shut down the ability to even be able to be prosper.  So what's the point. 

The most prosperess times in our history is when they stepped aside and let us the people built, discover, create, hire, think and take care of ourselfs.  But that's kinda hard to do when a gov raise taxes, gives people free stuff, spends more than they steal from us and borrow's money on the china credit card system. As well as hire 15m gov IRS agents to be sure they get our money. 

Wake up people, this is not a free stuff society.  It's a free society that is being transitioned to a social cry baby, help me help me, this is not fair, Tom's got more stuff than I do society.

Today, I start to write....

Well, today is the day I start to write. About what, I really don't know. Probably alittle about most everything that is on my mind and what makes me mad about everything that makes no sense at all.

It seems as though we are living in that time where what use to be right is now wrong and what use to be wrong is now accepted as being right and no common sense at all.

We see it each and every day. Every time we hear a congressman open his mouth, nothing but crazy, froth just pours out like we suppose to love what we hear....I think they are all idiots and they prove it to me most everyday.

The media, well, they are not reporters of events anymore. They just push what the state seems to be wanting to turn us into next.

The State (gov) takes our Liberty and stomps on it each and everyday in the name of social fairness. And they use political correctness as the tool of control.
