About AlphaPatriot

In real life, AlphaPatriot is Darrell Carden.

The views presented on this site in no way reflects those of my employer, family, friends, acquaintances or distant cousins as these generally fall into three categories: the smart ones that agree with me, those that tolerate me because of my wit, charm, great intellect and modesty, and those who think that I'm a raving wingnut who's one Kennedy away from going medieval on the next vegan moonbat that barks.

First Silver Star Awarded to Woman since WWII

Congratulations to Sgt. Leigh Ann Hester, vehicle commander, 617th Military Police Company, Richmond, Ky.:Sgt.-Leigh-Ann-Hester.jpgHester's squad was shadowing a supply convoy March 20 when anti-Iraqi fighters ambushed the convoy. The squad moved to the side of the road, flanking the insurgents and cutting off their escape route. Hester led her team through the "kill zone" and into a flanking position, where she assaulted a trench line with grenades and M203 grenade-launcher rounds. She and Nein, her squad leader, then cleared two trenches, at which time she killed three insurgents with her rifle.

When the fight was over, 27 insurgents were dead, six were wounded, and one was captured.Three American soldiers were wounded in the action.

And many other blogs. Yes, it seems that I am the last blogger on Earth to find this story. Even the moonbats at DU have some choice comments:
  • "It is just so much hype and BS. How are these girls going to cope when they come home?"
  • "Bravery and survival are 2 different things. Bravery would be refusing to go to Iraq."
  • "I don't care about celebrating ANY of it for ANY reason !! It's childish. We need to grow past the team spirit and get our troops the hell out of there! NOW!"
  • "The true 'heroes,' died that day ... the ones fighting for their homes, families and the right to govern themselves. Sgt. Leigh Ann Hester had no busines being there, in the first place."
  • "So, she killed some Iraqis who were trying to repel foreign invaders. What's to cheer about? In Bush's War there are no winners, only losers, because there was no cause for the invasion.
Well, you get the idea.
