The primary job of the US military is to bring as much force to bear as is necessary to implement the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States. We recruit, motivate, train, pay, equip order and expect those brave enough to answer their country’s call to go anywhere around the world at a moments notice to kill or capture those who stand in the way of achieving those objectives. The least we, as a nation can do to support them in their mission is to refrain from second-guessing their every battlefield decision.

The future of America depends on the specific actions taken by the people who are in a position to shape it. Unfortunately for Americans, those people are totally corrupt or incompetent. With that in mind, here are ten predictions for 2010. Read More »
