Intelligence And Mis-Information as told by J. V. Hoffman

It is painful to say, but so many of us don’t understand the difference between ‘Intelligence’ and ‘Mis-Information’. This article will illustrate several factors that escape our consciousness of thought; unfortunately, most of us are victims of mis-information. I served in counterterrorism and counterintelligence for 27 years. Most people think because they have served in the military or in the government they actually have a true grasp of what is actually happening; nothing could be further from the truth!

We will always remember…[Reader Post]

As we mark Memorial Day this year, let us reflect on why we set aside one day to show our gratitude to the brave men and women who have sacrificed so much to preserve our freedoms and the American way of life. United States soldiers have gone into battle in each and every corner of the world to meet the call and pay the price for freedom. Every since our great country was founded, we have enjoyed a unique place in the world. For our country is markedly different in that we are, as Ronald Reagan in his first Inaugural Address in 1981 said, “….a nation that has a government-not the other way around. And this makes us special among the nations of the Earth.”

Mark Daily's memory continues to inspire hearts and minds to this day…

Matt Gallagher:

In November of 2007, the British author Christopher Hitchens wrote a nonfiction piece for Vanity Fair titled “A Death in the Family.” If you haven’t read it, I suggest that you do. New York University’s esteemed journalism school nominated it as one of the decade’s top 80 works of journalism. It’s about the death of a young lieutenant in Iraq, and the resulting effects on his family, his community, and the author. The lieutenant’s name was Mark Daily, a 2005 graduate of U.C.L.A., and he was my friend.

Alex Horton on Memorial Day:

“many incorrectly thank Vets or active duty folks for their service. While appreciated, it’s misdirected. That’s what Veterans Day is for. Instead, they should take some time and remember the spirit of the country and the dedication of those men and women who chose to pick up arms. They never came home to be thanked, and only their memory remains.”
