I’ve been out of the Marine Corps for three-and-a-half decades. Most of what I know, or remember, about combat tactics is out-of-date. I don’t, nor do I want to, own a gun, my only one being the M-16 back then. I’m probably too old to fight, or even run.

Most of what I write about at Democracy-Project.com is not about the war in Iraq or Afghanistan. I prefer to write about today’s problems with health care, something I have more current firsthand knowledge about. Good milbloggers are in the combat zones, or have current experience, so they understand and focus upon the details that aren’t presented in the major media.
