LET ME SAY THIS ABOUT THAT!

I would like to let everyone know a little bit more about me.


1st  
Somewhere  over there                                              =====>
You'll find my email address. Please feel free to send me a message at
anytime. But this is the E-Mail address I use to register when I
communicate with Black Hat Security experts. So I might take
awhile to get back to you. But I will...

2nd
I read each and every comment you make on my posts. I rarely respond. But I read them all. Positive or negative; feedback is highly encouraged. And both are equally respected and helpful. In the spirit of "Free Speech" I will never delete your comments or repeat what you send me in E-Mail, without specific permission.

Whenever you decide to comment about the US military I demand you be respectful. All the slang names you have heard used in the movies are reserved for use only by other Military members. Not everyone in the Navy is a Top Gun Pilot, or in the Submarine service or on a SEAL Team. Not every member of The Air Force is a Pilot. Some of them never even get in a plane. Not everyone in The Army is a Green Beret. Not every Marine is a Force Recon Team member. Those Warriors are members of Special Forces. Don't ever pretend to be one of them. You're masquerade will not work. And it is punishable by law. And if you never served in the Military, Don't pretend to be that either.

When making reference to:

US Coast Guard; members are Guardsmen. Not Coasties Not Puddle Pirates Not Knee Deep Navy.
US Marne Corps; members are Marines. Not Jarheads. Not Devil Dogs. Not BAMs.
US Air Force; members are Airmen. Not Fly Boys. Not Airedales. Not The Chair Force.
US Army; members are Soldiers. Not Grunts. Not GIs. Not Dog Faces.
US Navy; members are Sailors.  Not Squids. Not Swabbies. Not Bubble Heads. Not Skimmers.
Those nick names are reserved for use by members only. It will not endear you or make you one of us. And if you do it to the wrong person, you may get your Dental Plan activated.

Don't disrespect our flag. You have the right to express your beliefs about the Flag. But every military member serves under it. Salutes it. Carries it with reverence. And has one draped over their coffin before burial. And it is handed to the surviving family as the last element of the military funeral service. The Red Stripes are the blood of patriots, who shed their blood so that you could enjoy the Freedoms you have.
Your FREEDOM OF THE PRESS is protected by the military. Not the News Writers.
Your FREEDOM OF RELIGION is protected by the military. Not the Clergy.
Your FREEDOM OF SPEECH is protected by the military. Not the poets and artists.

I am not a hyphenated American. Our enemies who attacked America on September 11, 2001 did not attack Conservative-Americans, Liberal-Americans, Black-Americans, Asian-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, European-Americans, Christian-Americans, Jewish-Americans, Islamic-Americans, Non Religious-Americans, Canadian-Americans, Poor-Americans, Rich-Americans, Military-Americans, Civilian-Americans, Irish-Americans, Italian-Americans, Punk Rock-Americans, Straight-Americans, Gay-Americans, Communist-Americans, Anarchist-Americans, Non Political-Americans, Academic-Americans, American Idols or Anti-Americans. Just being an American has painted a BULL'S EYE on your chest. Our enemy has defined us as a target, The same way the NAZIS defined their targets. You can't even go join the Taliban and be sure your heritage will go unnoticed..

I am a Christian. But not your garden variety Christian. I believe in the Death Penalty. And I can back it up with the Bible, Old and New Testament. I am an Evangelist. I don't look like Billy Graham. But I get email from him and his son on a regular basis. I won't nag you about your Faith. I spread the seeds. Some land on fertile soil and grow. Some fall on the rocks, and never take root. Still others land among the Thistles and are choked out before they can sprout. I spread the Gospel because God commands it.
I believe in and practice intercessory prayer. No amount of me talking to you will ever pursued you to truly believe in God. Or get you to accept the gift of Salvation offered through His Son Jesus. I believe there is a Heaven. And there is nothing you or I can DO TO EARN Entrance there.
I believe Religion is responsible for some of the most horrendous events in mankind's history. I believe that Science and Academia are responsible for an equal number of atrocities. But just because people have misused the these institutions is no reason to not embrace God or Knowledge.

Liking me is not a requirement. Nor is agreeing with me. I am an extrovert. I am gregarious. I do a pretty good stand up routine  on FaceBook. But I don't need attention to get along. I'm one of those people who could do 20 years in solitary confinement, standing on my head. I am the most self critical person you have ever known. You can't think of me as anything that I haven't already thought about myself. But if I call you friend, realize it is a life long commitment of my heart. And if I call you my BROTHER or my SISTER, it means I would die to defend you. Seriously and literally.

The name KRIPPLEDWARRIOR is real. I have been to war. And I am Crippled. The doctors did everything possible. But I lived anyway. No one has ever been where I have gone and come away without being changed by the experience. My entire blog tells this story. All the details in my endeavors to survive are chronicled in this blog. And if you want to throw me a pity party I won't attend.


Thank you for spending a little time with me today!
