Not sure of your topics for this week, but just in case the Gen McCrystal story makes the agenda --I made this prediction in January:
"A prediction for 2010 -- the Obama Administration will attempt to portray the military in a poor light in order to lower the military's public standing.
Not sure how he would portray this, but a guess would be that the effort would be led by his Congressional Democrats. They might attempt to portray the military's inability to meet Afghan surge timelines (materiel and manpower); over-hype a perceived scandal related to senior military leader(s); or through non-refutation of unwarranted media stories attempting to show the military in negative manner."
Time will tell if the General McChrystal story fits this prediction.
The Blog: A compendium of thoughts on politics, world affairs, economics, pop culture and social issues, from the center right perspective of me--Bryan McGrath--a University of Virginia graduate who spent a career in the world's greatest Navy keeping my mouth shut about politics and social issues (ok, publicly keeping it shut). Those days are over! Pull up a chair and chime in where you will. Keep it clean, civil, concise and relevant.
The Fish: The fish is a "coat of arms" for the blog, symbolizing three formative influences in the life of the blog founder. The first is his experience at the University of Virginia--symbolized most importantly by the fish itself, or a caricature of a "Wahoo", the fish we have acquired as an informal nickname. Additionally there is the sword, the sword of a Cavalier. It is not wielded in a threatening manner, as this is a civil blog. But it is there, should it be needed. Thirdly, there is the influence of 21 years in the Navy--symbolized by the anchor on the Wahoo's fin (and again, the sword) . Finally, there is the bowler, tuxedo, and monocle, symbols of a refined, intellectual conservatism, or what I seek to encourage here.
The Policy: I take FULL responsibility for what I write. I will not be held responsible for the content of my comments section--as long as it is civil and passes my own inscrutable sniff tests, it will appear. If the comment offends you, that is on you.
