It seems Pope Francis needs to brush up on his Tertullian!

It has been reported (in The ChristLast Media, I must note) that the current Pope does not like the phrase "lead us not into temptation...

"Let no freedom be allowed to novelty, because it is not fitting that any addition should be made to antiquity. Let not the clear faith and belief of our forefathers be fouled by any muddy admixture." -- Pope Sixtus III

Major K.'s new job.

August 13, 2005

The New Job.

As I mentioned earlier, I am now on a MiTT (Military Transition Team) training the Iraqi 6th Infantry Division. It is a whole new set of challenges. Dealing with the tribal/familial entanglements, the cultural differences and the language barrier are just a few. The Iraqi supply and logistics chain is even worse than ours. We are trying to stand up a Division Headquarters that will eventually control five Brigades in Baghdad. Right now, only two of the five Brigades are operational. The Division Headquarters is manned by less than half of the people that they should have. The biggest problem right now is that we have the Senior Officers but not the complement of Soldiers, NCO's and Junior Officers that we should have. It is a classic "Too many chiefs and not enough Indians scenario. (I hope I don't get in trouble with the ACLU or the NCAA for using that analogy...)

Good luck to you, sir, your men, and the brave Iraqis you are training. May God bless and protect you all.

About Me

My photo
First of all, the word is SEX, not GENDER. If you are ever tempted to use the word GENDER, don't. The word is SEX! SEX! SEX! SEX! For example: "My sex is male." is correct. "My gender is male." means nothing. Look it up. What kind of sick neo-Puritan nonsense is this? Idiot left-fascists, get your blood-soaked paws off the English language. Hence I am choosing "male" under protest.
