“Nuts” A Christmas Tale

December 25th, 2015

IMG_0591.PNG

December 22 1944 – Encircled by German forces at the Battle of the Bulge, the 101st Airborne Division, under acting commander Brigadier General McAuliffe received a message from German General Heinrich Freiherr von Lüttwitz delivered under flag of truce.

To the U.S.A. Commander of the encircled town of Bastogne.

The fortune of war is changing. This time the U.S.A. forces in and near Bastogne have been encircled by strong German armored units. More German armored units have crossed the river Our near Ortheuville, have taken Marche and reached St. Hubert by passing through Hompre-Sibret-Tillet. Libramont is in German hands.

There is only one possibility to save the encircled U.S.A. troops from total annihilation: that is the honorable surrender of the encircled town. In order to think it over a term of two hours will be granted beginning with the presentation of this note.

If this proposal should be rejected one German Artillery Corps and six heavy A. A. Battalions are ready to annihilate the U.S.A. troops in and near Bastogne. The order for firing will be given immediately after this two hours term.

All the serious civilian losses caused by this artillery fire would not correspond with the well-known American humanity.

His response was perfect.

To the German Commander.

NUTS!

Once again this year, I’d like to present a copy of the Christmas card that “Bright Light” author Stephen Perry sent from Nha Trang to his family the week before Christmas 1967. It definitely takes my thoughts to the thousands of men and women (including my daughter) defending the great land and her allies who won’t be home this Christmas. America’s thoughts and prayers are with them.

Merry Christmas!

TacJobs – Dynamis Alliance

December 24th, 2015

Dynamis is looking to build our team. We will continually be on the hunt for like minded individuals. Don’t really need to give a ton of info because at the end of the day, if warriors want to be with us, they will make it happen. Our screening process takes months if not years. Base salary to start, long hours, bust your fucking ass, crush workouts every single day, work with a team that grinds shoulder to shoulder looking to make our country and world better. Leading the modern day warrior… And sometimes we do cool shit (okay most of the time). Hope everyone is doing great getting ready for Christmas!!
