Appalachian Patria

Appalachian Intellectual. To me that means plain thinking. I am A Non Commissioned Officer in the Army Reserves. Let me say...My views expressed here are mine and not those of The U.S. Army, Army Reserve or my fellow brethren in The National Guard. This is entirely Sua Sponte. This is My Thinking. I'm single and in my mid 30's. Politicaly, I'm a Libertarian. (Again, Sua Sponte.I do not represent the Libertarian Party.)I love my native Appalachia, Rock n Roll and...I love God.

I started blogging for two reasons. I was concerned about the changes to the area I live in, Southern Appalachia and I was about to go to the war. I was in Iraq in 06 and 07 and now Kuwait in 11 and 12. Blogging was a means of documenting my experiences and hoping it would help gain clarity. I don't feel that way about it any more. It's said people write blogs because they are frustrated, that's why people read them too. That makes us sound apocalyptic. Are we? Let it be said, what I say here is of my own thinking. This is entirely Sua Sponte and not an official representation of the U.S. Military or the U.S. Government as a whole.

Little to Say, Much to Show

I posted a few pictures on this post that I discussed on the prior post, This Ain't The Pisgah National Forest.

A few miles below the Iraqi Border.

Another wrecked vehicle along the road.

KOA Kuwait. Apparently they just pick a spot along the road.

It occurs to me that I know barely enough German to be polite, enough Spanish to get my face slapped, enough Arabic to lock someone up and more than enough English to put my foot in my mouth.

The number of electrical towers is amazing.

Your last paragraph made me literally LOL. Most men can do that last part. ;-)

Indeed, Murf. Those two pictures are a good 30 0r 40 miles away.
