The awards for the last two Ballduster McSoulpatch Memorial Stolen Valor Tournaments are in. I’ve inspected them; they appear to be in good order. Jonn should have them in a day or two.
I’ll let Jonn write an article regarding his plans for delivery if he likes. But I thought our readers might want a sneak peek at them in the interim. Photos are below the break.
PSC sent us a link to this blog posting at Pen N Sword;
I don’t know how they got the idea that he was a SEAL, because I can’t find any news source on the internet that says he’s a SEAL, and neither can Don Shipley find him in the SEAL database. But the shitbag shook his 19 day old stepson to death back in December according to WAFF;
According to Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Bryan Austin DeMeza, 21, of Munford, found his newborn stepson, Zayne Hunter, unresponsive after shaking him earlier in the evening.
DeMeza admitted to shaking Zayne “eight to ten times in a fast motion forward to backward and falling on the infant twice”.
I don’t know if DeMeza was even in the Navy, I guess he got out late last year if he was and you Navy guys might find him in the Navy thing you have for that, but it’s very irresponsible of anyone, blog or otherwise to start calling everyone who wears a tank top and RayBans a Navy SEAL. I’m not calling him a phony, because I don’t know where anyone got the idea, but he is being charged with 1st degree murder.
OK, he’s a phony, but anyone who takes someone’s word on their Facebook profile is a moron.
And the dumbass got married in camouflage, FFS.
So while we’re all waiting for the judge to hand down Manning’s sentence, the LA Times reports that Breanna’s defense team’s strategy during the sentencing hearing is that his supervisors shouldn’t have let him near classified material in a “stop me before I kill again” defense;
He was late for meetings, and once curled in a fetal position on a storage room floor and clutched his head, a knife at his feet. He carved the words “I want” into a chair.
Another time, he pounded his fists and flipped over a table of computers before he was wrestled into submission. And in April 2010, Army Pfc. Bradley Manning emailed his sergeant a mug shot of himself wearing makeup, dark lipstick and a flowing blonde wig.
“This is my problem,” he wrote in the email. “I have had signs of it for a very long time.”
While I agree with the larger point, his supervisors should have restricted his access to classified material, in fact they should have thrown his tiny ass out of the Army and out onto the street, but that doesn’t not make him a criminal deserving punishment;
Defense lawyers are seeking to persuade a military judge not to impose the maximum 90-year sentence on Manning, who was convicted last month of espionage and other charges related to the illegal disclosures. They are trying to show that Army commanders ignored signs that the Oklahoma-born soldier was mentally unstable and was nearing a breakdown.
I know this is the only defense that’s available to the lawyers, but it’s still pretty lame. It doesn’t change what he did, and the people who lost their lives because of his treachery don’t get to make excuses. If he’s only getting jail time and no rope stretching time, he should feel lucky.
One of our close friends sent this from BuzzFeed; Breanna Manning’s selfie;
A number of you have asked us why all of the Wickre discussions were closed to comments. It wasn’t anything that you guys did, it was Wickre. He’s the reason we can’t have nice things. He started using your screen names to post comments, well, here they are, rather than try to explain their content;
You’ll notice all of those comments, screen shot from my “Trash” folder, are from the same IP address, one that we’ve identified as one of the ones Psul uses along with a scad of others.
He started posting them a little after 11 o’clock the other night. I think he was doing it to set us up for a lawsuit because he couldn’t find any comments that y’all have made about in the manner he’d like. But, I didn’t want to stay up all night babysitting his punkass, because unlike Psul, I have job, for a few more months anyway. And then he sent me this email;
I have had it with you. You get your stupid blog off my name or everytingn you thought about will occur.
Lawsuits, damages, court hearings, Va I will haul down your site at IBM get seavey fired from his cush job and turn you over to the VA

F*cking idiot moron, what does the VA care about what I do? He takes his cues from Wittgenfeld who is going to sic his mental health professional on us. But Wickre didn’t darken our virtual doorstep yesterday. I guess he cried himself to sleep and was nursing the biggest hangover of his life all day yesterday.
Team Sergeant from Professional Soldier wrote to tell us about Westboro Baptist Church’s plans to protest at the funeral of Staff Sergeant Stephen M. New who was killed recently in Afghanistan, so JD wants everyone who is available in Memphis area to help out. The Patriot Guard Riders are already on this, but numbers are important.

Remember that “super soldier” Dalton Coldiron? That sensitive guy who loves little bunnies and shirtless photos (which show off his Ranger tattoo) featured here at TAH last week?
I decided to do a follow-up FOIA on him. Lo and behold, I’m pleasantly surprised; NPRC turned the corner damned quickly. And no – I didn’t include a $20 bill with my FOIA request. (smile)
Seems Coldiron does have records at NPRC after all. On the second try NPRC was able to find them. (Dunno why they couldn’t find them a couple of months ago for Scotty.)
I guess that means Coldiron technically did serve in the Army. In fact, it seems Coldiron was in the Army for the grand total (presumably including both active and DEP time) of 46 days – from 18 July to 1 September 2011. His duty status is listed on NPRC’s FOIA response as “uncharacterized”.
He was separated as a “Private” at Fort “Lost-in-the-Woods” (Leonard Wood), MO. I’m guessing it was an Entry Level Separation.
Coldiron’s records also say he left the Army with no awards, badges, or tabs – and no military education. Nothing. Zip. Nada. So according to his official records, any claims he’s making of being a “Ranger”, “SF”, “Airborne”, or even that he qualified Marksman with some assigned weapon would appear to be 100% bull.
Here’s what NPRC sent in response to my FOIA:
Looks to me like Coldiron here is just another wannabe who didn’t really have the guts to serve and managed to get out of his contract. Or maybe he’s just a fragile “special little snowflake” who couldn’t handle Basic Training. But whichever it was, it doesn’t seem to have kept him from MSU (Making Sh!t Up) about his “military service”.
Apparently, someone at Vivid, the pr0n company, thought it would be a good idea to have Anthony Weiner’s audience of one, Sidney Leathers, rubbing one out while splayed across the American flag. I don’t get the symbolism that goes along with that, but I’m not a very artistic person. Anyway, TMZ reports that Steve Hirsch, the founder and co-producer of Vivid got a phone call from an angry service member about the video. Hirsch apologized and says he’s going to cut the flag from the video;
We’re told the man was NOT upset about the masturbation part — he’s a big Vivid fan after all — but the American flag’s involvement crossed the line, and he was going to have the DVD banned from his base.
We’re told Hirsch profusely apologized to the man for offending anyone in the U.S. military — a major porn consumer for obvious reasons — and agreed to remove the American flag from Vivid’s website as well as from Sydney’s DVD.
Well, I’m not going to threaten to boycott the video or Vivid, because I probably wasn’t going to see it. I mean, she’s pretty grotesque-looking and knowing the iceberg’s tip of her deviancy would prevent me from enjoying it anyway. But if you needed another reason to be disgusted by her, here ya go.
Sorry, you’ll have to click over to the TMZ link to see the pictures. Thanks to TSO for the link.

Sounds like a deal, doesn’t it? Pay only $950 and you get a check for $30k and get to smooch on a babe like SFC Shelton. Well, here’s the Rose Gadson to whom you’re sending SFC Shelton’s leave processing fee, according to the potential victim’s brother;
