COMEBACK STORY IS THE BEST STORY OF ALL

The comeback story usually falls into the sports file. Everyone loves a comeback, except the losing side. Muhammad Ali was a comeback fighter against Joe Frazier in 1971. The Portland Trail Blazers were a comeback NBA champion in 1977. My Dad had always said coming back was hard, that’s why so few sports greats make […]

BOOMER SLUR? WATCH YOUR MOUTH

The baby boomer slur comes from younger people. It goes like this: “You sound just like a Boomer.” Yeah, we get it. Just like a boomer. So I did the research, the hard work, the deep dive. In other words, I watched the opening to Saving Private Ryan.

BOOMER STATUS: WHAT MAKES A TRUE BOOMER

Boomer status, baby boomer that is, is more than a birth date. Technically speaking, anyone born between 1946 through 1964 is a baby boomer, but there’s a big difference between the front end and the back end. Legend has it that virtuous American soldiers and sailors returned from WWII on a magic carpet to resume […]

How Older Men Express Themselves When No One Is Around To Call BS

Baby boomers have a unique perspective when it comes to gun violence. Our fathers participated in the most extreme gun violence in world history. The books call it WWII and Korea; the dads went with bad intentions. Their applied gun violence saved the world from a Nazi future. Along with the horrific acts […]

SETTLE OLD SCORES OUTSIDE, WIN THE BIGGER WAR INSIDE

Small wars turn into bigger war, small conflict to large scale How far back do you go to find a good war? It’s not that war, the Good War, the Last Good War, the Big One. The end results justified the means in WWII. Industrial death and human neglect in the Axis Powers […]

OLD SCHOOL LANDMINE LEADERSHIP

With lives at stake, landmine leadership matters. Detecting landmines in the Korean War needed men who paid attention during training. Those were the guys who stepped into the minefield first, the people with landmine leadership. If they did the job they were trained for others could walk through the same area without blowing themselves up. […]

VETERAN SOLUTIONS FOR VETERAN PROBLEMS

If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of veteran problems. The biggest veteran problems come when those who served say, “I didn’t sign up for this.” What is the ‘this’ in “I didn’t sign up for this?” The ‘this’ veterans talk about is the hard part for non-veterans to understand. Even veterans of […]
