Marisa Benez

Branch: Iraq War Veteran / Rescue Helicopter Pilot

I know, she;s not in the Military on the show, but that doesn't mean her soldier spirit retired with her.  Don't cross her, as her partner Rabbit quickly found out when he almost killed her mimicking Bullit.

Moment in Badassness: It has to be when she popped a guys eyes back into there sockets after a car wreck.

MSC(SS) Casey Ryback, USN

Branch: Navy SEAL

Ryback is the Die Hard of military men, the monkey wrench in the plans of domestic terrorist.  By land or by sea (by air, Under Siege III: Over Siege?) he�??s the guy you want riding with you.

Moment in Badassness: He killed bad guys with a microwave time bomb.  How cool is that?  [Do not try at home]

1) Colonel John Matrix, USA

Branch: Special Operations Operator

Remember when we trusted our men and women in the Armed Services with the moral authority to protect those that deserved sanctuary and eliminate those who threatened it, no questions asked?  That was Matrix.

Moment in Badassness: Refusing to be a pawn, he snapped his captors neck and left him on the plane like he was sleeping!

 Lieunant. Pete  "Maverick" Mitchell, USN Branch: Naval Aviator

Everybodies got an ego and Maverick's could float the balloon boy across the world.  Swagger is one of the key elements that makes any good soldiers and overcoming it is what makes any good hero.

Moment in Badassness: When Maverick buzzes the tower.  Doesn't everyone want to do that?  It's like dunking.

Captain Steven Hiler, USMC

Branch: Marine Corps F/A-18 Hornets Pilot

This dude took on aliens okay.  He took on intergalactic terrorist and won.  And just like US Soldiers, he didn't do it with home field advantage, he took the fight to their house and blow it to holy hell!

Moment in Badassness: After outmaneuvering and outwitting those alien scum-suckers, he went mano-y-mano and knock it's green teeth loose with one punch.

Now if you're wondering why they are all ranked number one, well there are two reasons:

1) Every man and woman in uniform is equally valued whether you work logistics or the ground, whether you sign up in times of war or times of peace and whether you fly sick people to hospitals or destroy alien races.

And 2) because I dare you to go up to any member of the armed forces and tell them they are No. 2.

Happy Veterans Day to all the real, most badass heroes in the armed forces and all those who love them!

Everyone else can go to whatever country has the audacity to hate us even though we have the coolest President ever.

I CAN SLEEP THROUGH A STORM
 
 
 
 
   In a Midwestern state that was known for severe storms, lived a farmer who had a herd of cattle which provided for his living. He wasn't able to pay large wages and found it difficult to keep trusty work hands.

    He found himself in need of a competent worker who would see that the animals were properly cared for and always be reliable in doing his work.
    One afternoon, a young man came by looking for a job. The farmer looked him over and thought he looked a bit young to have the qualification for the job, but he needed someone badly and decided to interview him.
 
   The first question to the young man was, 'What are our qualifications for this job?'  The answer he got was, 'I can sleep through a storm.' That didn't make much sense to the farmer and alarmed him some, but he was desperate for help and hired the young man.
 
    Not long afterward, a terrible storm came up during the middle of the night. The farmer decided he should go check on the barn doors and see if everything was secure in the storm. Everything he checked was secure, nothing left undone; so he went looking for the young man whose sleeping quarters were near the barn. No lights were on in his cabin and there was no evidence that he was up checking on things.
 
   The farmer thought he probably made a mistake hiring one so young who didn't understand the responsibilities he had, but he knocked on the cabin door and waited for a response from inside. Soon, a sleepy eyed young man came to the door and asked the farmer what was wrong.  'Don't you hear the storm raging out here?'
   Why aren't  you awake and taking care my animals?'  'Oh, but I did, sir,' was the reply.  'I took care of everything before the storm hit. All the animals have been fed, watered and locked securely in their stalls. I did everything to make them safe before I went to sleep.' 

 

  Then the farmer realized what the young man meant when he said he could "sleep through a storm."  He had made his preparation BEFORE the storm came, and he knew there was nothing to worry about.    
 
   'What a gem I have discovered!' thought the farmer as he made his way back to the house, went to his own bed and soon fell asleep.

Gulf War/Defense of Saudi Arabia /Operation Desert Shield
From Month/Year
August / 1990
To Month/Year
January / 1991

Description

In 1990, fellow Arab Gulf states refused to endorse Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's plan to cut production and raise the price of oil, leaving him frustrated and paranoid. Iraq had incurred a mountain of debt during its war with Iran that had lasted for most of the previous decade, and the Iraqi President felt that his Arab brothers were conspiring against him by refusing to raise oil prices. Therefore, after weeks of massing troops along the Iraq-Kuwait border and accusing Kuwait of various crimes, Hussein sent seven divisions of the Iraqi Army into Kuwait in the early morning hours of 2 August 1990. The invasion force of 120,000 troops and 2,000 tanks quickly overwhelmed Iraq's neighbor to the south, allowing Hussein to declare, in less than a week, that Kuwait was his nation's nineteenth province. The United Nations responded quickly, passing a series of resolutions that condemned the invasion, called for an immediate withdrawal of Iraqi troops from Kuwait, imposed a financial and trade embargo on Iraq, and declared the annexation void.

Regarding Iraq's actions as a threat to a vital interest of the US, namely the oil production capability of the Persian Gulf region, President George Bush ordered warplanes and ground forces to Saudi Arabia after obtaining King Fahd's approval. Iraqi troops had begun to mass along the Saudi border, breaching it at some points, and indicating the possibility that Hussein's forces would continue south into Saudi Arabia's oil fields. Operation DESERT SHIELD, the US military deployment to first defend Saudi Arabia grew rapidly to become the largest American deployment since the Southeast Asia Conflict. The Gulf region was within US Central Command's (CENTCOM) area of responsibility. Eventually, 30 nations joined the military coalition arrayed against Iraq, with a further 18 countries supplying economic, humanitarian, or other type of assistance.

Carriers in the Gulf of Oman and the Red Sea responded, US Air Force interceptors deployed from bases in the United States, and airlift transports carried US Army airborne troopers to Saudi Arabia. Navy prepositioning ships rushed equipment and supplies for an entire marine brigade from Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean to the gulf. During the next six months the United States and its allies built up a powerful force in the Arabian peninsula. The navy also began maritime intercept operations in support of a US-led blockade and United Nations sanctions against Iraq.

Coalition forces, specifically XVIII Airborne Corps and VII Corps, used deception cells to create the impression that they were going to attack near the Kuwaiti boot heel, as opposed to the "left hook" strategy actually implemented. XVIII Airborne Corps set up "Forward Operating Base Weasel" near the boot heel, consisting of a phony network of camps manned by several dozen soldiers. Using portable radio equipment, cued by computers, phony radio messages were passed between fictitious headquarters. In addition, smoke generators and loudspeakers playing tape-recorded tank and truck noises were used, as were inflatable Humvees and helicopters.

On 17 January 1991, when it became clear that Saddam would not withdraw, Desert Shield became Desert Storm.

Memories
Christropher Burns (Associated Press):

The Pentagon said a team from an US Warship in the Red Sea boarded the Iraqi tanker today after firing warning shots when orders to stop were ignored.

The tanker, The Tadmur, was allowed to proceed after it was found to be empty, the Pentagon said.

The USS Elmer Montgomery, a frigate, fired bursts of .50 caliber machine gun fire across The Tadmur's bow, the Pentagon said.

A US Coast Guard and Navy Team then boarded the tanker, which was heading south out the Gulf of Aqaba into the Northern Red Sea.

---------------------------------------------
USS Elmer Montgomery completed the 2,500th intercept action by the Multi-National intercept force since the operation began on 12 Aug 90.

The USS ELMER MONTGOMERY hailed the Indian-registered cargo vessel "JAY GAYATRI" in the Northern Red Sea.

USS ELMER MONTGOMERY (FF-1082) fired the first warning shots by U.S. Forces during an interception and was the first ship in theater to conduct 100 boardings.
