I don’t consider myself a fuckstick, but I imagine if I was a fuckstick, I’d write some stupid shit like this;<\/p>\n

From time to time I take a break from maritime affairs to focus on the the potential toll the \u201cwinking-at-anti-government-violence\u201d rhetoric that is, for some milkook blogs, their stock-and-trade.<\/p>\n

Why do I scorn milblog armchair revolutionaries? Because I think the \u201ccommunity\u201d they foster encourages their desperate and dumb members to turn to violence.<\/p>\n

Milblogs should worry. Sometimes the perpetrator is a veteran. But, almost every time, the victims are law enforcement officers\u2013a community where veterans are highly represented. Let\u2019s think about them, and tone down the anti-government, pro-violence rhetoric.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The above quote is taken from the virtually unknown blog Next Navy; Future Maritime Security<\/a> and written by Craig Hooper. Now this “expert” who, as far as I can tell draws his expertise from reading books at Harvard and no real military service. So, I’m sure his vision of the future Navy are real relevant and include big parties with lots of requests of the Village People songs – but he probably knows more about the Navy than i do. I’m convinced it involves a lot of water and I learned that in my two weeks at the Navy’s Amphibious Warfare School at Little Creek, VA over three decades ago.<\/p>\n

That’s why I don’t comment much about the Navy. Hooper should take a lesson from my example, but I figure it’s too late. See in the post I quoted from and linked above, Hooper is trying to make the case that milblogs are somehow responsible for a career criminal to strap on body armor, steal his Mom’s handguns and have a street shoot out with LEOs.<\/p>\n

Of course, there’s nothing to connect this felon to milblogs, but because he was headed to his local ACLU office, who else but milblogs could have influenced him? In the comments, Hooper names names;<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have great hatred for blackfive and the others. (Where\u2019s your concern for, oh, extremist blackfive guy Jim Hanson \u201cUncle Jimbo\u201d. That guy goes and spams blogsites he is ideologically opposed to! The this ain\u2019t hell guys call people they disagree with all kinds of names and heap all kinds of nastiness upon em\u2026so, I think they\u2019re a bit less tolerant.) But do I scorn them? Yes. Hold \u2018em in slight regard? Check. Hate \u2018em? No. They\u2019re countrymen, after all.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I checked the two posts we wrote about Hooper and in neither did TSO call him any names. Although TSO did suggest that Hooper should eat a steaming bag of dicks. But no names.<\/p>\n

And it’s not just people with whom we disagree – I call all of you names when I see a zero count on my blog ads for the day. You mostly agree with me, but you’re a bunch of dicks when it comes to making me rich.<\/p>\n

But back to Hooper; in the comments he complains mightily that Hanson along with us disparage his home town – the SF Bay Area. I’ll give him that one – San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland and Berkely suck. There I did it again.<\/p>\n

But anyway, in his initial post Hooper says that the violence that milblogs incite was really brought home to him in the aforementioned shoot-out between a career felon and LEOs because it happened blocks from where he USED TO LIVE! Oh, goodness. Mercy! He could have been caught up in the shoot out if he’d been walking his dog miles from his house and the shooter had decided to do his dirty deed years sooner. <\/p>\n

Fucking dork! THAT’s why you get called names, Hooper. Not because you disagree with us (hell, I’ve never read your blog so I don’t know if we disagree or not) but because you’re SUCH A FUCKING PUSSY! (That’s not name calling, it’s an adjective – what, you find a better one)<\/p>\n

“Oh, Matt Burden is mean to Michael Yon”. “Oh, Jim Hanson wants to talk nasty about San Francisco”. “Oh, TSO, says I should eat a steaming bag of dicks”. “Oh, Jonn Lilyea says I’m a vagina.”<\/p>\n

Fuck you, Hooper, stick to writing what you know…of course, you may starve given such narrow parameters. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
