JP(aka BFN) is back.HAT TIP: ~K. I don't have much tonight, but what I do have is good. And guess what? They have all been supplied by Blackfive. First is an article from Conservative Propaganda about the Code Pink protesters over at Walter Reed Military Hospital. If you wonder about what kind of people are part of the protest for Code Pink, then read this article. Also good if you want to hear the great news coming from the Counter-Protesters. And then rounding out the Blogwatch is another Blackfive piece about the treatment of OIF and OEF Vets in college.

Also, because of Tyler over at .45 Caliber Justice I have been wasting my time with more of these silly quizzes. So enjoy them, as I feel like posting soem results.

Hot shot You scored 69 Jargon Knowledg!

Too much JAG, Over There, MASH, Black Hawk Down and Tom Clancy novels have gotten to you. Either that, or you're from another branch of service other than the Army or going through ROTC, or a military child. Whichever way, your knowledge of military innards is quite impressive, but not there yet. You need to know the finer points of our lingo, the stuff we say everyday that books don't record, nor movies that show. Military lingo is part of a culture that ever-breathing, ever-living, and always changes like marching cadence. Here's some hints for you guys. Your K-Pot is your kevlar helmet; a POG is a 'Person other than Grunt', Sick Call is definitely time to skip out on morning PT; Kiwi may be a fruit and animal, but is definitely not a nickname for a bad soldier, so Kiwi for this purpose is boot shine; and getting smoked is definitely not being rolled up into a joint. That would just hurt. And now a picture of our favorite Boot Camp Trainee gone mad... "GOMER PYLE"

My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 75% on Lingo Knowledge

I am so NOT a communist. Woohoo! And now for the test that started all this silliness. . . .

Armed and Dangerous Congratulations! You scored 88%!

You made it out, alive and well supplied. You probably even kept most of your party alive too. You know what to look for, what to take, and when to just run. You even feel a strange inkling to go back. If you did, you'd probably do just fine.

Armed. . . AND dangerous. Sounds like fun.

Vercingetorix You scored 74 Wisdom, 50 Tactics, 60 Guts, and 45 Ruthlessness!

Leader of the Gauls, a chieftain of the Arverni. He was the leader of the great revolt against the Romans in 52 BC. Julius Caesar, upon hearing of the trouble, rushed to put it down. Vercingetorix was, however, an able leader and adopted the policy of retreating to heavy, natural fortifications and burning the Gallic towns to keep the Roman soldiers from living off the land. Caesar and his chief lieutenant Labienus lost in minor engagements, but when Vercingetorix shut himself up in Alesia and summoned all his Gallic allies to attack the besieging Romans, the true brilliance of Caesar appeared. He defeated the Gallic relieving force and took the fortress. Vercingetorix was captured and, after gracing Caesar's triumphal return to Rome, was put to death.

Huh. How interesting. I thought the results would be more along the lines of Washington or Lee. But oh well, a great Gallic general will do.

John Wayne You scored 52% Tough, 9% Roguish, 23% Friendly, and 14% Charming!

You, my friend, are a man's man, the original true grit, one tough talking, swaggering son of a bitch. You're not a bad guy, on the contrary, you're the ultimate good guy, but you're one tough character, rough and tumble, ready for anything. You call the shots and go your own way, and if some screwy dame is willing to accept your terms, that's just fine by you. Otherwise, you'll just hit the open trail and stay true to yourself. You stand up for what you believe and can handle any situation, usually by rushing into the thick of the action. You're not polished and you're not overly warm, but you're a straight shooter and a real stand up guy. Co-stars include Lauren Bacall and Maureen O'Hara, tough broads who can take care of themselves. Find out what kind of classic dame you'd make by taking the Classic Dames Test.
