We reserve the right, however, to curse throughout eternity those leaders who through ignorance, neglect, deception, or any combination of the three lead live to a ripe old age after leading us into senseless wars which serves only their own egos, delusions, or narcissism.
One stoic's look at living in the Upper Midwest, mostly about time spent outdoors, dogs, and food.

Armistice Day 2013
We remember and honor the sacrifice of war's veterans, regardless of what we now think of the war the in which they served. We acknowledge those who did not return whether they volunteered or were drafted, whether they believed in what they were doing or were just looking to come back home. We acknowledge that war is, in the course of human events, necessary if a people are to remain free but that the cost is always greater than the politicos promise "to be home by Christmas." We remember, but we do not celebrate. War is always a tragedy, especially to those who are most intimately impacted by it.

Feel Good Story of the Day
Feel good story of the day via Drudge:
Clerk punches out would be robber. Makes him clean up his own blood.
I have a man crush on the clerk. If I had a sister, I'd see about setting them up on a date.
The bloodied crook got two things out of the experience: a free portrait and a lesson in natural consequences.
Clerk punches out would be robber. Makes him clean up his own blood.
HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. -- A clerk at a business in Western North Carolina punched a would-be robber and knocked him out cold just minutes after the man barged in with a gun and demanded money.
...Mothershead said the man came behind the counter with a bag.
“I got the money and he had the bag out and instead of putting it in the bag I stuck it out and said, 'Just take it.' So, when he reached out, I took a step in, I cocked back and preloaded and I hit him hard,” Mothershead told News 4's Mike McCormick.
It is well worth following the link to watch the video. More than just knocking the guy out, he knocked him out with a left....While they waited for police and paramedics, Mothershead gave the man a roll of power towels, sprayed the floor with cleaner and told him to clean up his own blood.
