Missed Opportunities

The report said both Gates and Crowley missed opportunities to de-escalate the tension, that they share responsibility for the controversial July 16, 2009, arrest, and that the dispute was avoidable. [More]

We're the Only Ones G.O.O.D. Enough

I think that many Americans will be surprised with the answer many serving officers gave when asked what they will do if TEOTWAWKI ever occurs: Almost to a person they respond they will go home and protect their families or G.O.O.D. As far as protecting anyone else? Forget it. [More]

I trust no one here will be surprised to find, as Firesign Theater put it, "In the next world, you're on your own"...?
