A THREE BEERS LATER EXCLUSIVE: SMITTY'S SERVICE VIDEO!

In honor of his upcoming deployment to Afghanistan, TBL is proud to present this EXCLUSIVE video, TORN from the steaming pages of Wikileaks, a record of then-Commander Smitty counseling a wayward crewmember in need of command guidance.



Three Beers Later wishes the men and women of Smitty's proud new command a safe and successful deployment.

A SAILOR IN AFGHANISTAN?

Smitty, the brains behind the operation at The Other McCain, has been reactivated for naval staff duty in Kabul, Afghanistan.

And here I thought Ron Paul was full of it with all that letter of marque and reprisal talk.

As someone who was told to come back when I was a few years younger on 9/12 (apparently the Army didn't need 50+ yr old infantry lieutenants), I wish Smitty all the best and envy him the hard year ahead.
