unhappycamper note: Since the ‘Pentagon’ has ‘requested’ that I only post one paragraph from articles on
Army Times, and
Airforce Times, I’ve decided to give ya’ll an unhappycamper summary of the article and a link to the OP. To keep in that same (new) tradition, I will also do the same for articles on Navy Times, Marine Corps Times, stripes.com and military.com.To keep in that same (new) tradition, I will also do the same for for articles on

To read the article in the military's own words, you will need to click the link.
(This space reserved for a legally correct snark dump.) It sure is beginning to smell like fascism.
unhappycamper summary of this article: Fist Ollie bitches about facts, then proceeds to tell us his 'truth'. By paragraph, a rebuttal:
Paragraph 1: Ollie is pissed about "the so-called mainstream media." Hey Ollie, I'm sure Faux Noise told the Amerikan public all the good news coming out of Afghanistan.
Paragraph 2: Ollie tees off on illegal immigration and the 'war on drugs'. You sorry-ass motherfuckers never did a single, solitary thing to stop illegal immigration in the eight fucking years of dick & dubya. Not one fucking thing.
I think Ollie is just pissed about the upcoming referendum ("Regulate, Control, and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010") in California.
Paragraphs 3, 4, 5 & 6: Ollie gets bent out of shape about the Afghanistan elections and how good they were. Much fewer IED attacks. Really good news. On the other side of the coin, -->

Guess what Ollie? There is no fucking way anyone who invades and tries to occupy Afghanistan can 'win' I ain't gonna happen. It hasn't happened since Genghis Khan did it in 1219.
Paragraphs 8 & 9: He starts talking about Woodward's book and then flies off on the quote from the book: "We can absorb a terrorist attack........"

Ollie North, wrong
again still.
And Now, for the News . . .By convicted felon Oliver North | September 24, 2010
Last week our Fox News War Stories team was on the U.S.-Mexico border documenting the tidal wave of violence and illegal activity on America's "Southern Front." This week we're back in Afghanistan to detail what's happening in the shadows of the Hindu Kush. The outcomes of both these fights are of vital importance to the American people. But it's hard to get the "facts" on either fight from the way these stories are being covered by the so-called mainstream media.
