Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

USS Ronald Reagan

Solomonia  located and posted this photo, and I hope he does not mind our borrowing it.

Nice ship, great aircraft, great President...why aren't they bombing something?
Certainly there are targets.

From Halsey in WWII to Lt Gen Hal Moore in the Ia Drang in '64 thier orders were simple..."Find the enemy and kell'em.

Now we need 10 levels of study complete with PowerPoint presentations ans endless discussion.
Succinctly, it sucks.
