Addendum

I should stress as well: while from time to time this blog may contain general observations and commentary about (military) operations, at no time will there be first-person and/or time-sensitive reporting on operational missions.

Not only would this be counter to everything I've spent my life doing, possibly harm fellow soldiers and mission accomplishment and be a potential violation of Operations Security (OPSEC), but in all honesty, it would not be germaine to the purpose of this blog.

If you are seeking such type of information or reporting, you have URL'd over to the wrong blog.

Getting Started

Greetings,

For a number of years, I've carried on a lively correspondence with a number of people, the subject of which is generally political. I have some very strong emotions about the course our country is going, the state of the body politic, and societal~cultural issues that may, or may not, spell doom for our country and our way of life.

This blog, I hope, will be a better way to capture these messages and thoughts, than my previous emails. I hope in time it will become a place for others to share their thoughts, comment and debate.

I am sworn to defend our constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I take that responsibility very seriously, as I have for most of my adult life. There are very real threats to our way of life, and not all of them have to do with the current legislative and/or executive branches; terrorists; or the real and perceived threats to our civil liberties. While I tend to be conservative, this is not a conservative blog... it is about identifying and discussing all sides of issues that threaten (real or perceived) our nation, constitution and way of life.

I welcome you into this blog, and hope you will enjoy the ride.

Sincerely,


Concerned Patriot
