First off this is a very graphic story.. Read with caution

The man pictured above is a piece of trash. He is convicted of 4 counts of murder, aggravated rape of a minor and obstruction of justice. Not only that he like myself is an Operation Iraqi Freedom Veteran. This man Stephen D. Green Was deployed with my unit in Iraq and I have had the dishonor of standing next to him and spending time smoking and talking with this troubled young man.


Recently he was convicted on all charges stemming from a brutal attack on innocent civilians while in Iraq. While manning a traffic control point outside of Yusifyah him and three other Soldiers entered a home and held the residents hostage. He separated the mother, grandfather and young toddler away from their 14 year old girl. While the three Soldiers were taking control of the 14 year old, Green took the family's AK-47 and killed them at point blank range. He then walked out of the room and told the other Soldiers he killed the whole family.


Green then had his way with the 14 year old girl and after the Soldier's raped the girl Green killed her as well. To cover up the crimes he decided to burn the bodies leaving the house to burn to the ground. Another family member who left for a couple days came home to see his whole family brutally murdered. I can remember Green talking about killing "hodgies" but never payed attention to him. He was on his way out on a mental discharge, there were a number of incidents that came to light the biggest one was him throwing his supervisor's pet puppy off of a second story building in anger. The Supervisor was given the puppy from a local family as a gift.


Green always said that his hate for Iraqi's stemmed from seeing two of his supervisors being killed at point blank range by an Iraqi farmer. After two of our Soldier's got kidnapped and brutally tortured before their murder; a fellow soldier brought up Green's story to his chain of command thinking the kidnapping was in retaliation for the brutal murder. Once news hit the locals in our area NO Iraqi civilian trusted us and more of them turned to the local terrorist group for revenge.


Because this poor excuse of a human had a chip on his shoulder, two of our fellow good Soldiers were brutally tortured, beheaded on camera and leaked on the Internet. But we were not allowed to communicate with our families back home and the only thing they had to rely on was the local news for updates. Making all of our family members more and more worried about our morale. I really hope this guy gets the death sentence, I would love to see his last breath due to the amount of pain and suffering he caused not only the family, but our whole unit.

Will this guy ever retire???????

This man is getting on my nerves. Last season I laughed his return off and smiled at all the Packer fans. Now it's getting ridiculous. This season he is talking about returning again, guess who the first coach to talk to him about his return.........

Childress.


Brad Childress if I ever meet you in person I will give you the worst ball tap EVER. Let this old sleeping dog lie. He is grasping at straws in a stalker like mentality to play his old team twice in a season. This guy doesn't care about the game he wants revenge, if Brett Favre is seen in purple and gold I will resign as a Viking fan until Childress is gone.

Brett Favre was a great Quarterback with wonderful skills, ability and attitude. Now he's the old Kentucky Derby Winner just hanging around for pictures. Kinda reminds me of my last post about Chuck Liddell, you can call it love for the sport or you can call it love for the paycheck. Just don't call it from our Metrodome.

Brett Favre would be a great addition to the Lions, consulting the very young high paid first draft pick Matthew Stafford. He has as much business playing football as Charlie Brown.. Please Brett Favre do the world a favor and hang your Jersey before it hangs you..

Go every single team that does not want Brett Favre...

The end of a UFC Legend

When I think of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, I see a high profile sport. Associated with that sport I see a couple of well known fighters who have evolved the sport into what it is today. Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell is a former champion in the sport who made his first appearance in the octagon at UFC 17 back in 1998.

Since then Liddel has made 26 additional appearances in the Octagon. With a very explosive, unique fighting style and being one of the most recognized fighters he has been partly responsible for helping mold this sport and fan base what it is today. Outside the Octagon Chuck Liddell also appears on the spike TV show "Deadliest Warrior."

Saturday night Chuck faced a "sink or swim" fight against popular Brazilian fighter Mauricio "Shogun" Rua. Out of Liddell's last five fights "The Iceman" has lost four of those. Three of those four losses has left the once champion laying half unconscious looking at the ceiling.

I have noticed that with his age he is starting to slow down. Chuck Liddell is 39 years old and has been subject to all kinds of internal damage due to the nature of this sport. After seeing his last series of failures I believe the UFC will be putting Liddell where he needs to stay, in the UFC Hall of Fame. His high energy and unorthodox fighting technique have always interested me, but I find myself feeling bad for this man as he attempts to squeeze out one more win before his inevitable retirement.. Chuck do the world and yourself a favor and retire before more damage is done to your impressive record..

I love the reverse skeptics..

I voted for Obama. I didn't believe any other candidate had a chance of salvaging what 8 years of Bush did to this country. I cannot help but laugh at all the skeptics and anti-obamas, who think

our President's first 100 days in office has been substandard. How about they take one ghetto community that is on its last financial breath and attempt to fix it in 3 months.

I do not agree with all of his policies, but for the first time in 8 years I actually back our Nation's President. That says allot from a former military man who served during the Bush Administration. I can remember being in the Army feeling like the biggest hypocrite for not supporting my commander in chief, I then found out I was not alone. I belong to http://www.ivaw.org/ and found many people who have like minded thoughts felt the same way.

So now we have a huge amount of Americans who not only refuse to back our President but, are also very skeptical of our 44th President's work ethic. Give the guy a break. While Bush was driving this country in the crapper he still had supporters who wanted the whole world to know that George is o.k. and is doing this country good. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_rankings_of_United_States_Presidents according to a study done Bush is right below Nixon, we all know about Nixon.
I think it is the worst thing in the world to judge Obama thus far. We have had TWO federal Holiday's since the inauguration and he as already being labeled. I have a label for all of those people hypocrites. Keep crying about Obama when the Job Market increases, put an end to "the war" in Iraq, rebuild the financial crisis and of all things try to rebuild our reputation with other countries.

Until then Go Vikes, Twins and the Brewers I guess... :-)

BADA BING

I am now on a Sopranos fix. I rented the first season just to see how good of a show it is. I have seen the show before on A&E and figured I have a weekend to kill (so why not). I am in love with this soap opera for Males.

It took me two days to finish 13 hours (plus special features). I went back today to see if they had season two but it was out. So now I am desperately looking for a free online service that shows the series w/o viruses or Trojans. Yes I know I want on-line entertainment for free.. Crazy Huh?

I love the premise of the show. Tony Soprano a Capo (Captain) in the Soprano Crime Family, has a couple panic attacks and is recommended to go to a psychiatrist. Now Tony a hard headed Italian who is used to having people do everything for him, is very hesitant about seeing a shrink due to his street credibility.

At the end of the first season, Tony's uncle found out about the shrink and has put a hit on his nephew. The attempted murder did not succeed, and Tony is back with a vengeance. This series has it all; violence, action, violence, drama, violence, profanity and of course violence. Anyone who has not seen this show should definitely check it out. Watching this has brought the Italian heritage right out of me.. Gotta love it.

The WORST coach in NFL History

This guy is an idiot. He is the reason for so much anger, frustration and disappointment for 5-6 months out of every year. He is the head coach for the Minnesota Vikings.



His decision making skills coincide with serial killer Ed Gein. I know I am not the only viking fan in the world who feels this way. http://www.firechilly.com/ is another group of individuals who believe the same. Last season his fan approval rating was an embarrassing 6%. I could probably get at least 8%, if I really tried.



His actions during the off season have made me sick to my stomach. I fear next season. I sat and watched pro bowl defensive players Matt Birk and Darren Sharper walk away and the moron childress didn't even attempt to retain the highly sought out free agents.



I cannot wait to see this guy as far away from the vikings organization as humanly possible. Last year we weren't "super bowl" material but we would've easily made it past the first round. The only thing that happened during the birth into the playoffs was the assurance of this moron being around until the end of his contract.

Until then go Vikes and go Twins..

My Saturday

Nothing special to write but due to my laziness last week here's my saturday summary. Yes Azor, there will be an argument I just need to find one.


In New Holstein a local bar hosted a night of local musicians as a charity event to help a family who lost their home in a fire. I drove out to my cousins house who lives right on the main drag. Being the responsible adult I am I knew I would be enjoying some barley beverages and decided early to occupy some space at my cousins house overnight.


I got there at about 1:30 and my cousin and his fiance were messing with their notebook. Come to find out they let a "friend" borrow their laptop for a couple months... You already know whats coming. This friend downloaded limewire and two other movie converters. When I saw the screen I knew they were screwed.


7 trojan viruses have made a home in their computer. I am no computer expert but I know my way around them. They told me there is only 7 so we should be good. I laughed and told them to wait til the end of the scan. 45 minutes later we saw over 450 threats. We went to the bar and had a couple beers, after that we walked the 300 feet to his house. The scan had been completed and found over 18,000 threats.


I told them I know how to fix it and will take care of it in the morning. I finally laid my head on a pillow at about 2:30 am. and was gently woke up at 9:00 by some friends who had to work and were leaving. Definitly not my perkiest day ever, was dreading the long process of uninstalling illicit software and trying to change the hands of time in the computer world.


Two and a half hours later I was able to bring the threats from over 18,000 to 276. Not completly clean I know but hey I am no professional. So I left around noon, ready to go shut my eyes on my bed. I called them and referred them to a virus sweeper I found through pcworld.com after $40.00 their computer is trojan free and the world makes sense again.


I have a couple arguments and for you Azor I will use colored text to highlight them.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD LIMEWIRE SOFTWARE.

FRIENDS DONT LET FRIENDS BORROW A COMPUTER.

GO VIKES AND GO TWINS
