Army meets recruiting goals for 12th month in a row
It's amazing how the left is trying to convince you that no one wants to be in the military because of the war. The contrary is true.
The Army said Friday it surpassed its recruiting goal for May, marking the 12th consecutive month of meeting or exceeding its target.
So much for that theory...
When will the left realize that they are out of touch with reality?
US urges UN to write a very angry letter to Iran
Why is the UN moving so slow. The whole world knows Iran is trying to obtain nuclear weapons. The whole world knows that they aren't going to give up their pursuit unless some kind of force is used. We should be sanctioning the heck out of Iran right now. Right now they have no motivation to quit. Let’s give them that motivation. Giving them a letter saying "We want you to get rid of your nukes" will do nothing.
The UN is such a joke. What does it take to convince the UN to take action? Are they waiting for them to nuke Israel?

Klingenschmitt also has fought at other times for the religious rights of non-Christians, having backed a Jewish sailor's bid to get kosher meals and sought to include a Muslim seaman in the rotation of sailors offering the ship's nightly closing prayer.
Why does America have to keep catering to the minority? If the 20% of the military that isn't Christian doesn't want to pray... then don't pray... it's not that hard. How is catering to that 20% fair to 80% of those who keep us free. They are risking their lives for us. Why can't they express their faith?
