By Paul E. Vallely and the staff at Stand Up America, We pause this day in America to remember our fallen heroes, the men and women who answered the call of freedom and paid the ultimate sacrifice. Let us remember and thank them for the nights they slept freezing in a tent or sweating in [...]
Get out of Afghanistan By Lt. Col. Thomas D. Morgan, Army (ret.) - Armed Forces Journal I cannot believe that anyone in their rational mind would believe that there is anything to salvage out of the Afghanistan fiasco as described by Joseph Collins in “No time to go wobbly” [September].

Editor’s Note – Where will they slide down to next? Why not raid kid’s piggy banks, or steal the UNICEF money on Halloween. Is nothing sacred?

Editor’s Note – Curiously, with the Shuttle Program now retired, we still have NASA. What is in their and our future? The military certainly has not stopped its orbital program, and now, the world’s second unmanned orbital vehicle landing. (Russia did it in 1988, once.)
