To all the soldiers serving overseas and to my fellow Americans Happy Thanksgiving to you.  God bless you all and god bless America!

Last Sunday Ole Sarge went 9 – 7 to bring his record to 94 – 66….  Hardly anything to brag about.  My buddy Maurice admonished me for picking against his Tampa Bucs. He truly doesn’t want me to pick Bucs because they might lose. Tampa should beat Chicago….   

Speaking of my Redskins, Once again I have them pick to win.  Hey, Ole Sarge is such a die hard to be a realist! Hail to the Redskins!

ATTTENT..HUT Hero

Ole Sarge just received his orders to go on another recruiting trip. This time my Commander in Chief has giving me the authorization to recruit outside my prescribe boundary.  Ole Sarge gets to take him a lil a trip north on the BW Parkway (Baltimore Washington) and stop in Charm City (Baltimore) to read the “Idiot Oath of Enlistment” being that we love acronyms in the military from hence forth the “Idiot Oath Enlistment” will be called I.O.E’s 

Fresh from the pages of the Baltimore Sun.

“The Baltimore City Council took a break yesterday from the routine of local government - renaming schools, appointing bureaucrats to commissions, closing alleys - and delved into U.S. foreign policy by demanding the immediate withdrawal of American troops from Iraq.”

Baltimore was named the 6th most dangerous city in America. With a mayor who wants the people of Maryland to promote him to Governor and with local council members in the past passing resolutions for demanding the right of self-determination for the Lithuanian people, condemning slavery in Mauritania, criticizing the repression of the Ahmadiyya religious movement by the Pakistani government, and calling for the end of violence in Northern Ireland and apartheid in South Africa.  I didn’t mind filling up my gas guzzling SUV to drive to B-More. I figure since the Army is having such a hard time recruiting,  I might as well try to humor myself and enlist as many as I can in the Army of Idiots.  Quite charming isn’t it…….

Ole Sarge thinks that the reason why the Baltimore City Council wants the troops out of Iraq is to stop fighting Al Qaeda and go after Al Thugga in B-More. 

Ole Sarge is out

DISMISS!

ZARQAWI MAY BE DEAD
BREAKING NEWS:  ZARQAWI MAY BE DEAD....
HE MAY HAVE BEEN IN A HOUSE IN MOSUL ATTACKED IN U.S. RAID.  A TIP LED U.S. FORCES TO THE HOUSE.

I hope this holds true.  This will be big plus in our war against terror.  Will this shut up the nay sayers? I doubt it. Will the suicide bombings cease? I doubt that, but if Zarqawi is dead. Good riddance.

I am a paltry 85 -59 for the year.  I would of had at least four more victories if I would have picked against my Redskins.  Never!  That would be treason.  Lets go Redskins!

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. --- The Tar Heels couldn't finish off the game from the free throw line, so it took a David Noel three-pointer to bounce in with less than 2 seconds left to give UNC the win. Tyler Hansbrough had 21 points, while Danny Green and Noel both finished with 17. Stay tuned to Inside Carolina for a full postgame report from the Smith Center ... 

I am not going to make a bold prediction about my beloved Tarheels.  After losing about 93 percent of your scoring, I really don’t know what to say about this years crop of Heels.  They are young, inexperienced and unranked.  However I will say this Ole Roy will have those boys playing ball and it will be just a matter of time when the Heels will dominate the ACC.  You Duke fans better win it all this year, because the Heels will be stacked with its number 1 recruiting class next year.

I picked the girls up early on Friday and took them to see the new Harry Potter flick. Was the movie worth the 21 dollar matinee price I paid for me and my two brats?  Well out of the previous three Harry Potter films, this one was clearly the best.  Harry is no longer the boy wizard,  he is a teenager who has taken an interest in girls and at times you can see the seriousness off his character come out in the movie. Dark times are ahead for Harry and Lord Voldemort is back to exact his revenge.   The movie earn every bit of its PG-13 rating and I caution parents to take that into consideration.  My three year old can handle the dragons. The books make for good reading and I enjoy reading them to my girls.  I am getting the girls ready to go see Narnia.  I read CS Lewis’s book as a child and I am excited about the the live version.  I hope Disney does right by the book.

I received an email from the Mudvillie Gazette.  The message bellow is a letter from a soldier fighting in Iraq.  His mother has asked that this letter be shared to as many people as possible.  I do not know the said soldier or his name. But my allegiance  is to country and my comrades who proudly wear the uniform to fight for freedom.  As I mentioned on another blogger’s (SGT Hook) site in reference to buying the soldier a beer….

“Freedom ain’t free neither is beer but as long as I am in this uniform you best believe that I will help pick up the tab”.

Here is the letter

“Mom,

Be my voice. I want this message heard. It is mine and my platoon’s to the country. A man I know lost his legs the other night. He is in another company in our batallion. I can no longer be silent after watching the sacrifices made by Iraqis and Americans everyday.Send it to a congressman if you have to. Send it to FOX news if you have to. Let this message be heard please…

My fellow Americans, I have a task for those with the courage and fortitude to take it. I have a message that needs not fall on deaf ears. A vision the blind need to see. I am not a political man nor one with great wisdom. I am just a soldier who finds himself helping rebuild a country that he helped liberate a couple years ago.
I have watched on television how the American public questions why their mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters are fighting and dying in a country 9000 miles away from their own soil. Take the word of a soldier, for that is all I am, that our cause is a noble one. The reason we are here is one worth fighting for. A cause that has been the most costly and sought after cause in our small span of existence on our little planet. Bought in blood and paid for by those brave enough to give the ultimate sacrifice to obtain it. A right that is given to every man, woman, and child I believe by God. I am talking of freedom.

Freedom. One word but yet countless words could never capture it’s true meaning or power. “For those who have fought for it, freedom has a taste the protected will never know.” I read that once and it couldn’t be more true. It’s not the average American’s fault that he or she is “blind and deaf” to the taste of freedom. Most American’s are born into their God given right so it is all they ever know. I was once one of them. I would even dare to say that it isn’t surprising that they take for granted what they have had all their life. My experiences in the military however opened my eyes to the truth.

Ironically you will find the biggest outcries of opposition to our cause from those who have had no military experience and haven’t had to fight for freedom. I challenge all of those who are daring enough to question such a noble cause to come here for just a month and see it first hand. I have a feeling that many voices would be silenced.

I watched Cindy Sheehan sit on the President’s lawn and say that America isn’t worth dying for. Later she corrected herself and said Iraq isn’t worth dying for. She badmouthed all that her son had fought and died for. I bet he is rolling over in his grave.

Ladies and gentleman I ask you this. What if you lived in a country that wasn’t free? What if someone told you when you could have heat, electricity, and water? What if you had no sewage systems so human waste flowed into the streets? What if someone would kill you for bad-mouthing your government? What if you weren’t allowed to watch TV, connect to the internet, or have cell phones unless under extreme censorship? What if you couldn’t put shoes on your child’s feet?

You need not to have a great understanding of the world but rather common sense to realize that it is our duty as HUMAN BEINGS to free the oppressed. If you lived that way would you not want someone to help you????

The Iraqi’s pour into the streets to wave at us and when we liberated the cities during the war they gathered in the thousands to cheer, hug and kiss us. It was what the soldier’s in WW2 experienced, yet no one questioned their cause!! Saddam was no better than Hitler! He tortured and killed thousands of innocent people. We are heroes over here, yet American’s badmouth our President for having us here.

Every police station here has a dozen or more memorials for officers that were murdered trying to ensure that their people live free. These are husbands, fathers, and sons killed every day. What if it were your country? What would your choice be? Everything we fight for is worth the blood that may be shed. The media never reports the true HEROISM I witness everyday in the Iraqi’s. Yes there are bad one’s here, but I assure you they are a minuscule percent. Yet they are a number big enough to cause worry in this country’s future.
I have watched brave souls give their all and lose thier lives and limbs for this cause. I will no longer stand silent and let the “deaf and blind” be the only voice shouting. Stonewall Jackson once said, “All that I have, all that I am is at the service of the country.” For these brave souls who gave the ultimate sacrifice, including your son Cindy Sheehan, I will shout till I can no longer. These men and women are heroes. Their spirit lives on in their military and they will never be forgotten. They did not die in vain but rather for a cause that is larger than all of us.

My fellow countrymen and women, we are not overseas for our country alone but also another. We are here to spread democracy and freedom to those who KNOW the true taste of it because they fight for it everyday. You can see the desire in their eyes and I am honored to fight alongside them as an Infantryman in the 101st Airborne.

Freedom is not free, but yet it is everyone’s right to have. Ironic isn’t it? That is why we are here. Though you will always have the skeptics, I know that most of our military will agree with this message. Please, at the request of this soldier spread this message to all you know. We are in Operation Iraqi Freedom and that is our goal. It is a cause that I and thousands of others stand ready to pay the ultimate sacrifice for because, Cindy Sheehan, freedom is worth dying for, no matter what country it is! And after the world is free only then can we hope to have peace.

“The Rev. Jesse Jackson called the Philadelphia Eagles' punishment of Terrell Owens "much too severe." Jackson said in a statement that Owens could have been more professional, but said Owens' suspension is "much too severe for the charge" and hurts the athlete's NFL career at its height”

Hmmmm.  Ole Sarge thinks that the good ole Rev must have T.O on his fantasy football team. With stats like these:    

REC 47

YDS 763

AVG 16.2

TD 6

If that is the case, I don’t blame the Rev. But, you would think that he should focus more of his energies in ensuring poor displaced Katrina and Rita victims get jobs, versus a selfish millionaire athlete. T.O will be alright (thanks to Bush Tax Cuts)

Ole Sarge is out..
