Surveying the sorry sad sacks, to use a WWII slang for slackers and loo-zers, populating the blogosphere [I noticed how many Sad-Sack loo-zers won in the Blog contests], it's easy to forget that our nation still retains a strong sense of esprit de corps even while liars like Scott Beauchamp and other low-life loo-zers stain the internet with their lying distortions.
USA Today has a story on how our soldiers in Iraq memorize the answers to traumatic head injury tests in an effort to remain in the field with their units. [h/t: WSJ]
One of the many reasons I'm proud to be an American.
"Much have I seen and known; cities of men And manners, climates, councils, governments, ...the fortune of us that are the moon's men doth ebb and flow like the sea, being govern'd, as the sea is, by the moon" [Henry IV, I.ii.31-33] HISTORY NEVER REPEATS ITSELF, BUT IT OFTEN RHYMES "There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America." Otto von Bismarck
