I know you guys are probably tired of hearing about Michael P McManus, otherwise known as General Ballduster McSoulpatch, but I thought you’d take at least a passing interest that some bloggers think that our greatest accomplishment, that our place in history is virtually secured by the fact that we got (by “we”, I mean TSO) the Army Times to call him Ballduster McSoulpatch.
That alone should win us a MILbloggie this year. Um, yes, this is a shameless plea for votes – well, if anyone can figure out how to vote.


It was a great name. Very funny.
You have my vote, if I can figure out how to vote. I am a member of mil-bloggers, and got the notice. Now to figure out how it is done. Any chance of a tutorial post for us dummies?

You impatient peoples! JP will build the nomination page and then everyone can have at it. Then there will be a voting page. Then, it appears, the winner will be announced in DC.
JP works very hard and he will get it all together, it just takes a little time. 😉
I saw that in the Army times and laughed. I wonder if the editor got it?
OK. Registered at Milblogging and standing by!
Well, I wouldn’t say greatest accomplishment, but it is pretty damn funny.
I have to admit I had no clue about soul patches and such. My kids had to tell me, and then I laughed my ass off…when I showed the kids the pic, they were hysterical.
The new joke is- “But does he have a *soul patch?*”
