Memorial Weekend Much?

I find that Memorial Weekend has lost some of its value in the last few years, even though wars continue.

According to the History Channel:

Memorial Day is an American holiday, observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Memorial Day 2018 occurs on Monday, May 28. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Unofficially, it marks the beginning of the summer season.

So here is Picture of Heartbreak, I know it affected me.

Sexism is Just Not Tolerated Here

The Australian Army shows just how to stop sexism, racism and bullying at the source, in one simple message. I wonder why the UK and USA militaries haven't done the same?

This guy pulls no punches and explains, quite simply and eloquently why bullying must stop. A true leader's speech to his 'men'.

Fort Hood - details emerge

Spook 86 at In From the Cold has a very interesting piece about the killer in the murders this morning at Fort Hood.

I strongly suggest you go here and read it.

Above: Fort Hood in better days.

Tam, over at View From The Porch asks why more military personnel, in Texas of all places, weren't armed on their base. Go here and read her blog too.

This Ain't Hell But You Can See It From Here has a round-up of all the important news sources and their theories on why it happened as well as the all important Dr Phil and others on Larry King. And, of course, they have their own, highly plausible, theory too. And that's available if you click right here.
