What Sex Scandal?

What Sex Scandal?

Posted by | Jun 13, 2013 | , |

If you turn on the TV, or open a paper, you will be exposed to an ongoing and growing scandal centered on sexual harrassment in the military. The current scandal began with the revelation that some non-commissioned officers at Lackland AFB were taking sexual advantage of the trainees under their responsibility. Current estimates is that around 26,000 cases of sexual assault occur every year within the uniformed services. This is a serious problem which requires serious consideration. As a career AF officer, I see this as an existential crisis for our military, but not necessarily the same problem that...

  During the bad old days of the cold war, pundits suggested that the West should never fight China because its population was so large they could march ten abreast into the Pacific Ocean, and would never run out of people who could fight.   I wasn’t worried about that because I knew the West could develop technologies which could overcome the pressure of sheer manpower. However, today we face a foe who we may not be able to defeat. And that foe is not a foreign power. It is something which we have created within our own borders....

The policies and values of the two men couldn’t be farther apart, and Reagan’s statement is prescient as well as cautionary.

Why Sheriff Clarke’s PSA is so dangerous to Gun Grabbers

  Recently the sheriff of Milwaukee, David Clarke, put out a public service announcement recommending that people learn how to defend themselves.   The Left has predictably banded together to attack the public spirit, if not the sanity, of Sheriff Clarke. He was invited on CNN by the fair and balanced Piers Morgan to defend his irresponsible PSA. Morgan opened the conversation with “Why did you do it?” The implication is that it was irresponsible to recommend that citizens ever take any action to defend themselves. He went on to say that the sheriff was in favor of Milwaukee...

  I am obsessed with race.   I mean that I am obsessed with the impact that race has on everything in America. Most of it isn’t good. Whether you talk about the economy, marriage, defense, education, or crime, race is a key issue: unfortunately, not for the reason that most people think. Race is not the cause of problems. Culture and politics are our problem. Race just makes it more difficult to reach the solutions we need. Back in 2009, Eric Holder said that it was time to finally have an honest conversation about race. If he really...
