The U.S. Army adopted the Sig Sauer P320 as it’s Service Pistol with the rest of the Branches following their lead.  Todd South is a former Marine Sergeant and now a writer for Marine Corps Times, we spoke with him about his career and the controversies that have surrounded the Sig Sauer pistol buy and how the Marine Corps intends to field this new sidearm.

“We as a country failed our children, this shouldn’t happen.  We go to the airport,  I can’t get on a plane with a bottle of water but we leave it (so) some animal  can walk into a school and shoot our children.  It’s just not right and we need to come together as a country and work on what’s important, and that’s protecting our children, in the schools.    That’s the only thing that matters right now.  Everyone has to come together and not think about different laws, we need to come together as a country, not different parties and figure our how we protect the schools…”

“WE ALL WORK TOGETHER  AND COME UP WITH THE RIGHT IDEA (FOR) SCHOOL SAFETY.  IT’S NOT ABOUT GUN LAWS RIGHT NOW, THAT’S ANOTHER FIGHT, ANOTHER BATTLE.  LET’S FIX THE SCHOOLS AND THEN YOU GUYS CAN BATTLE IT OUT, WHATEVER YOU WANT.  BUT WE NEED OUR CHILDREN SAFE.”

John Bolten has called Iran for what it is… North Korea for what it is… China for what it is… and Russia for what it is… does seeing the world for what it is make him “dangerous” as the Washington Post described him today?

Given the delusional nature of the past administrations and ever mindful of the “Reset Button” clown act, isn’t it time for a straightforward approach to the dictatorships that menace our planet?  Isn’t it time for the free nations of the planet to invest in their military might (Germany & Japan included) as a sign to these dictators that they will never win?  Bolton is as necessary to our nation today as is our trade confrontation with China.

Major Scott Huesing, USMC (ret) joined ALL MARINE RADIO to discuss his best-selling account of leading Echo Company, 2nd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment during their deployment to the most violent city in the Al Anbar Province — Ramadi in 2006.  ECHO IN RAMADI takes you to places that most books about war don’t, into the lives of Blue Star Families at home worrying each day and night, into the lives of Gold Star Families as they deal with the loss of a son, husband or brother and into the lives of Marines after they come home and begin to deal with the residue of war.

A great read with the ALL MARINE RADIO seal of approval!  You can buy ECHO IN RAMADI here
