“I’d never experienced racism until I got into the Corps,” said Lance Corporal Lawton Sails. Aged twenty, he stood at 5’9”, possessed walnut colored skin and a regulation fade. He hailed from Wilmington, Delaware. He withdrew some of the game controllers for the video game console in the barracks room.

Marine Corps Stories: To the Lych-House
She possessed enough breaths to cry out in a fragile, small voice. “Take my rifle and my boots. Make a battlefield cross with a picture of my parents and my two boys and Jameel.” She tried to breathe. Every ounce of life that she had left focused on getting those last gasps of air into her failing lungs. She was a steam engine running low on fuel. Dangerously low. She brought up a few more words to instruct Staff Sergeant Melody Grohl. Her superior wasn’t having it.

Marine Corps Stories: Patrons
Glasses with liquid gold that bubbled up to the surface stood on the table. Two steaming plates with duck and truffles permitted the party of two to partake in the luxuries of being president and the top Marine general as Chairwoman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Marine Corps Stories: White Star Cluster
They trudged through the sand with heavy packs. Across the battlefield, the Marines kept morale by remaining motivated. This was their last hump before returning to the United States from Iran. Platoon Commander First Lieutenant Garrison Safer ensured that his men and women would make it to their next objective. Like a rolling tank covering the land, these Devil Dogs kept in rhythm. Safer drove the troops with a fervor that powered their minds.

Marine Corps Stories: The Psychological Aspect
Generals and admirals from the other branches of the United States Armed Forces convened. The space remained ornate with a vaulted roof and sculptures of past war heroes of American history. A One-way bullet and bomb-proof window about the size of a car's rear window completed the space. Marine General Misha Wainwright sat among the other heads of the military. One person who was not in the room was the president of the United States.

Marine Corps Stories: Zeroed In
“I was in the thick of the thick,” Major Gallaudet Hoops said. “As a platoon commander with the choo choo tracks on my collar points then, I lead those Marines to victory and I’m proud of that. What I did there, no, what we did there is nothing short of just getting the job done.”

Marine Corps Stories: In Agreement
A motorcade ambled down the road. Marine General Misha Wainwright, Lieutenant General Tasha Spraic, and Major General Paul Brandt looked pensive. Misha flicked some Irish pennants from her sleeve. Tasha tapped away at her mobile device. Brandt studied the notes from the recent bombing of Iran.

Marine Corps Stories: The Might
The beauty of the marriage between rifleman and rifle still intrigued Sergeant Lionel Hanes. He cleaned his rifle regularly with as much care and precision as washing an infant. As an infantry Marine, he became adjusted to the devastation in Iran. He and his fellow Grunt Devil Dogs observed the massive destruction of the bombings.

The Spirit of Radio II: Dr. Yaron Brook, Free Speech, the 'Charlie Hebdo' Shooting, and Radio in the Internet Age
On the first episode of The Yaron Brook Show, Dr. Brook illustrated with wit and solemn power the atrocity of the shooting of some of the Charlie Hebdo staff. In the five years since that vicious attack, where is free speech? America just eliminated a player in the Iranian military that might prove to be rather inconsequential. But the rhetoric and the outcry against America and its allies has not emboldened Americans to write, draw, paint, direct, act, sing, or produce works that decry and denounce authoritarian dictatorships like Iran and celebrate life. No. Some people of the United States and other countries have constructed signs that attempt to placate Iran. Shrieks in the streets consist of the “innocent” people of Iran (neglecting to mention the scores of people yelling “Death to America” in that region). Shouts of “Oh, we’re for Iran, not Trump” have arisen throughout American cities. While Mr. Trump is certainly no noble figure in all of this, he represents the nation and ought to be recognized for at least doing one (albeit small) thing right. With one vicious figure out of the way, this does not mean that Trump’s incompetence is excused. It just means that we might have time to refocus on how nefarious the current Iranian regime actually is….
