Army Maj. Charles Ziegenfuss plays in the Franco Harris/Lydell Mitchell Gridiron Golf Tournament at Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club on Friday.


PALM HARBOR

Army Maj. Charles Ziegenfuss was not concerned that every time he tried to hit a golf ball Friday morning at Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club, it trickled in a different direction. Ziegenfuss, of Indiana, Pa., was glad just to be able to grip the club. "They asked me what my handicap was," Ziegenfuss, 36, said with a laugh. "I have nine fingers."

In 2005, the 15-year soldier was a few feet away from an improvised explosive device when it exploded. When he came to, Ziegenfuss did not have use of his hands.

In three years he has undergone 35 surgeries. One was to reconstruct his right thumb from skin drafted from his thigh. He lost his left pinkie and has no feeling in his left hand.

It's people like Ziegenfuss that NFL Hall of Famer Franco Harris and Penn State teammate Lydell Mitchell were trying to help Friday during their 12th charity golf tournament.

The Franco Harris/Lydell Mitchell Gridiron Golf Tournament, featuring 120 golfers (including about 30 former NFL players), benefits Soldiers' Angels, an organization that supports American troops overseas by writing letters and sending care packages.

Ziegenfuss starting getting help from Soldiers' Angels at Walter Reed Army Medical Center when he received a call from founder Patti Patton-Bader.

"She asked me what I wanted," Ziegenfuss said. "I said a laptop so that I could communicate with my troops. It didn't dawn on me that I couldn't use my hands."

To assist Ziegenfuss, Soldiers' Angels purchased software that allows users to completely control a computer with their voice. Ziegenfuss said Soldiers' Angels have provided more than 3,000 laptops with the software for soldiers.

"It's nice to be in a position to be able to have a positive effect on people's lives," said Harris, who won four Super Bowls with the Pittsburgh Steelers and rushed for 12,120 yards in 13 seasons.

When he played for the Baltimore Colts, Mitchell rushed for 1,000 yards in three consecutive seasons. Named to three Pro Bowls, he led the NFL in pass receptions in 1974 and 1977.

"We try to get involved in the community," Mitchell said. "To give back and to help a person is a wonderful feeling. We can't cure the world but we can certainly give back and try."

Really, some fans take their team a wee bit too seriously. Here's a whiny beeyotch of a Giants fan, upset because the "deserved" to go to the Superbowl. (Bad Language alert)

Labels: Asshats and Douchebags

From Indymedia:
1) Israel is an illegal occupier
2) Muslims and Jews got along beautifully before Israel was formed
3) Ashkenazi Jews are not real Jews and therefore have no claim to Israel
4) Zionists are preventing Palestinians from seeking their own state

Or, more appropriately, why the Israelis are absolutely correct in their offensive against the terrorists Gaza, and why hey should just gas them like rats in a fumigated house. There will be no peace, between the Jews and the Palestinians, ever, and last time I checked, the Jews weren't targeting children, bombing markets and civilian populations at random, or hijacking airliners.

Many of you are familiar with Uber Pig's 'Ask an Infantryman' (also known as 'Ask Chuck Z') column on Blackfive. Personally, the idea cracks me up and I often contribute--the idea is a regular, whiny question from Dear Abby, but answered by your average Warrior. I've recently been asked to write something similar, although the topic isn't sent in by some whiny soon-to-be Jerry Springer guest.

So, because this requires a more deft touch than the standard infantryman's mantra of "get a bigger hammer" and if that doesn't apply, "Can I kill it or have sex with it?" I give you "Ask an Armor Officer."

I recently have had the pleasure of two mighty fine young American Soldiers enter my life. They are handsome, polite, bright, funny as hell decorated war Vets. I love them dearly and have a positive friendship w/them. It didn't take long to see and understand they are clearly demonstrating some serious signs of PTSD (hate that term). I would like to see them seek support now as opposed to later to prevent future issues and problems that will bring more pain.
I refuse to say "get help", most do not respond kindly to those words, it only alienates. Too many say do nothing, they will have to figure it out on their own, or "turn them in". I don't like either of those answers.

In your expert opinion how would you suggest reaching out in a non-offensive way that actually would be helpful? My belief the earlier one copes, the better off they will be since the symptoms are not going to go away and will get worse. My guess is they already know on a certain level the issues are there because of the jokes they make. Denial is the most powerful drug of all. We all know the stigma and fear of being weak if we admit we are having challenges from being in a war zone. I know I am not alone in asking this question. What say you?

Searching for Answers in Virginia

I'm not a shrink. Nor am I a mental health professional, although I have had that partiicular brand of quack try to "help" me before, much for the same reasons you mention. In my case, I told them to get bent, and refused to talk to them, because the Army has this ridiculous policy wherein my mental health records are separate from my medical records, and therefore subject to snooping by "official requests." Since I can see this being used against me at the trial, I opted out of professional care and instead choose to treat my demons with steady doses of zoloft, alcohol, nicotine, blogging and transfats.

I don't recommend this particular course of action to anyone, and the only reason it works for me is because I happen to have an incredible support network built around me, including a wife who doubles as a counsellor/social worker (who never tries to analyze me), friends and comrades who prop me up and keep me going, and an incredibly understanding work environment.

Unfortunately, in the world of combat arms, mental illness is a stigma--having one is a weakness, and all weakness is viewed as rooted in character flaws. If a group of men goes through a traumatic event, those who have negative responses to that event are seen as "weaker" than those who don't. Although I don't subscribe to this reasoning, I understand the culture that propigates it, and equates it to the fat kid in the unit who can't finish the run. The fat kid is fat because he is lazy and doesn't push himself to excel, and that brings the ability of the unit down. The PTSD case has doctors appointments, and worse, is an unknown quantity, and the men are unsure if he can be trusted in combat, or if he'll break down at an inopportune moment. The logic is, to say the least flawed--no one knows when anyone will break down, and someone getting counselling for PTSD is trying to strengthen their minds, much like going to physical therapy after an injury. Still, the stigma exists.

Now that I've explained the cultural aspect to PTSD aversion in the combat arms, I'm left with the question of how to get them to seek help. Over there on the left sidebar you'll see a link for a national suicide prevention lifeline. You can point out that they've opened up a special line for veterans, because the need exists. This is what happens to many soldiers who don't seek treatment.

Next, they likely don't feel they need help. Getting them to a counsellor to do an evaluation is the first step. Ask them to do that--just let a professional determine if they suffer from PTSD. If the professional says no, then you'll stop bugging them. If the professional says yes, then you can go from there. Explain it like this: You are going to lead soldiers. If you are suffering from PTSD, Combat Sress, or any other form of delayed-stress response, you owe it to them to seek help, because not being 100% on your game may adversely affect how well you lead them. Their lives depend on you being at your absolute best.

They may go for it. They may not. If you keep hounding them, they'll likely push you away. It's a fine line, and I recommend you seek other, professional guidance in this matter, because what I know about getting people to seek treatment for PTSD could barely fill a thimble.

Update:NFL CHANGES COURSE ON COLOR GUARD ISSUE
Posted by Mike Florio on January 23, 2009, 1:54 p.m.

A little while ago, we suggested a potential solution to the Color Guard conundrum. Since all players in the league (even those not playing in the game) have the ability to buy two tickets each, we called on enough of them to pony up their seats so that the Color Guard could stick around after playing their very important role during the playing of the National Anthem.

We even offered to pay for one of the tickets.

Thanks to the NFL, we can spend our $800 instead at one of the finer scrip clubs dining establishments in Tampa.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello tells us that, after conferring with the league’s military liaison, the 12-member Color Guard will be permitted to remain in the stadium and watch the game.

The amazing part of this story is that the initial complaints arose from the mistaken belief that the league used to allow the Color Guard to stay, and that all of a sudden the procedure changed. Instead, the pre-existing procedure was that the Color Guard watched the game with the rest of the 2,000 extras who take part in pre-game and halftime festivities.

Though the other 1,988 extras will have to settle for big screen televisions and free Yoo-hoo and Lucky Charms, we can’t think of 12 of the 2,000 who deserve to be inside the building more than the members of the Color Guard.

It was unnerving when the Army told soldiers at Fort Huachuca they needed permission to travel to Mexico.

The Office of Tourism in Sonora said they were concerned that it would send the wrong idea, because none of the killings in Nogales involved tourists, just drug cartels and the police. Yeah, I wonder if they put that in their brochures.

Twice in the last few weeks, Michael Yon has posted about Mexico. (one and the other) Anyone who reads Michael Yon knows he doesn't post from swanky beaches or about cozy B&B's.

And now this:

Citing a wave of violence and murder in Mexico, the commanding officer of the Marine expeditionary force based at Camp Pendleton has made the popular military "R&R" destinations of Tijuana and nearby beaches effectively off-limits for his Marines.

The order by Lt. Gen. Samuel Helland restricts travel into Mexico by the 44,000 members of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, many of whom have multiple tours of duty in Iraq, Afghanistan and other combat zones under their belts - or are there now.

When I think about taking a vacation, I weigh certain factors. If the US Army or USMC says their people are not allowed there, I generally put it on the "not so much" list.

This really can't be good...

Goodbye, Bill, you old war dog. I will miss you so. I have no words to express my sorrow.

The following stolen, in total, from Michelle Malkin.

Bill Faith, R.I.P.

I was deeply saddened to learn of the death of blogger Bill Faith. He died of a heart attack and had been in ill health.

Bill ran the blog Small Town Veteran and founded/contributed to Old War Dogs. I linked to his work many times over the years. He was also a valuable commenter here at mm.com. A Vietnam veteran, Bill was a stalwart defender of our armed forces and, as you can see from his blog, a man who loved his family. He described himself as “Baby boomer, nerdy kid, Viet Nam veteran, engineer, daddy, grandpa. Politically incorrect. Proud anti-idiotarian.” The epigram at the top of his personal blog:

“For those who have fought for it, freedom has a taste the protected will never know.”

In addition to his own passionate and patriotic blogging, Bill featured the moving poetry of fellow veteran Russ Vaughn. One of those pieces, Sheepdogs, was inspired by a post at milblog Blackfive.

The Sheepdogs

Most humans truly are like sheep
Wanting nothing more than peace to keep
To graze, grow fat and raise their young,
Sweet taste of clover on the tongue.
Their lives serene upon Life’s farm,
They sense no threat nor fear no harm.
On verdant meadows, they forage free
With naught to fear, with naught to flee.
They pay their sheepdogs little heed
For there is no threat; there is no need.

To the flock, sheepdog’s are mysteries,
Roaming watchful round the peripheries.
These fang-toothed creatures bark, they roar
With the fetid reek of the carnivore,
Too like the wolf of legends told,
To be amongst our docile fold.
Who needs sheepdogs? What good are they?
They have no use, not in this day.
Lock them away, out of our sight
We have no need of their fierce might.

But sudden in their midst a beast
Has come to kill, has come to feast
The wolves attack; they give no warning
Upon that calm September morning
They slash and kill with frenzied glee
Their passive helpless enemy
Who had no clue the wolves were there
Far roaming from their Eastern lair.
Then from the carnage, from the rout,
Comes the cry, “Turn the sheepdogs out!”

Thus is our nature but too our plight
To keep our dogs on leashes tight
And live a life of illusive bliss
Hearing not the beast, his growl, his hiss.
Until he has us by the throat,
We pay no heed; we take no note.
Not until he strikes us at our core
Will we unleash the Dogs of War
Only having felt the wolf pack’s wrath
Do we loose the sheepdogs on its path.

And the wolves will learn what we’ve shown before;
We love our sheep, we Dogs of War.

Bill Faith was a treasured sheepdog in the blogosphere. I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to tell him before he passed. I hope his family will know how much his work meant to us.

Announcing the 2009 World T.E.A.M. (The Exceptional Athlete Matters) sports 2009 Face of America Bike ride.

This year, Team Chuck Z--Angels and Asphalt will conquer the 110 mile course from Bethesda MD to Gettysburg PA from 24-26 April.

I'm putting together a team of riders, support personnel, and supporters to go to this event, and possibly others. We're going to have few "needs" and a few more "wants" and we know the difference between the two!

Like I'll "need" air in my tires. I want a 15-pax van for equipment (bikes/helmets/repair parts) and personnel. (we used my pickup last year, and while it worked for Me and Blake, with a larger team, we'll likely need more space. Maybe even a uhaul-trailer or cargo truck--we'll see as the time draws near.

I'd like a few vehicle "team" signs--door and hood magnets, slow vehicle, etc. I NEED help with jersey/shirt/team logo designs (Hey Patti, I really like the red/white/blue SA logo, need a high resolution graphic).

I need Jersey design ideas, and someone to figure out how/where to get them. I'd like matching team warm-ups, but that is pure icing. Not necessary, and may be counter-productive to the cause.

I raised over $5000 last year for the FOA ride. I want to exceed that this year, by at least a 50% increase to $7500. Update: Donation Link is here. for the Face of America, I'll have to figure something out for donations to a "team fund" and what it'll go towards. UPDATE: fixed the link.

Finall (and this list is far from all-inclusive) I need teammates and support personnel during the event. FOA does a good job overall with support, but many hand make light work.

More to follow.

My beloved Picksburgh Stillers are going to the SuperBowl!!! Again!!!

And they are going up against the Cardinals, too. That's only slightly funnier than the thought of them playing the Seahawks.

Tampa Bay is about to get a visit from Chuck, too. Looks like I am going to the game, too, thanks to my former Guardian Angel, who is rapidly transforming into my fairy godmother.

The Mrs. is SOOOOO jealous.

'Well,' says Paddy, 'we had a long chat over a few pints of Guinness and
packets of crisps, and we decided there is no fookin' way we can feed
200,000 prisoners .'

Is frankly, an honor I don't deserve. That honor belongs squarely to Michael Yon. he has my heartfelt thanks for the work he does, and to even be mentioned in the same category with him is an honor in and of itself. I liken it to, as a soldier, being mentioned in the same breath as Audie Murphy, Mike Monsoor, and Paul Smith. As a writer/pundit/raconteur, it puts me in league with Ernie Pyle, Samuel Clemens, and Ayn Rand.

2008's Best Milblogger: Michael Yon. He's also preparing to sue Michael Moore for blatantly stealing his work, which tells you how totally awesome he is. If you don't Know Michael, you should be viewing his body of work weekly, at the very least.

On Friday, 1/9/2009, everyone in Phoenix has been encouraged to wear red and be at the airport for a rally to show our support for men who are on their way to (hopefully) make our city proud.

But wearing red has nothing to do with the email campaign that asks people to wear red on Fridays to show that we support our troops.

And those men that we're asked to rally around are going to Charlotte, NC to play football.

"The council and I are asking - and encouraging - all city employees and everyone else in Phoenix to wear cardinal red on Friday to show their support of the team," said Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon. -source

It probably would not have bugged me this much if I hadn't heard a report on the radio where the reporter asked people if they were going to wear red on Friday. They all responded with some derivative of "Why would I do that?"

Not one person said they always wear red on Friday to show that they support the troops. No one even guessed that maybe that was the answer to the question.

I wonder if they're even going to remember Pat Tillman tomorrow. There was probably a point in his life where his dream was going to a playoff game with the Cardinals.

And I doubt that Mayor Gordon will ever ask the people of Phoenix to wear red on a Friday or be at a rally at the airport (during a weekday) to support the men and women of our military.

Blast me if you will for being anti-football. I'm actually not. I just wish people were as likely to be at a "welcome home" rally for the men and women of our military as they are to be at a send-off for a bunch of athletes.

I know you all don't come here for tech support advice. But once in a while, I'm going to share if I think it's worth sharing.

Unsolicited computer advice after the jump:

Online Life Lesson #1: If you have an eBay account that you don't ever use, shut it down. If you think you may go back to eBay someday, at least make sure you don't have the account linked to a credit card or PayPal.

The last thing you want is to find out someone cracked your password and bought a $700 cell phone in your name.

If your eBay account is linked to PayPal, you can expect your PayPal account to be locked up until you verify a bunch of stuff. And if you screw that verification process up, you can expect your account to be inaccesible for a while.

I'm not saying don't use eBay. Some people dig it. I'm saying if you don't use it but still have an account, either close down the account or make sure it's not tied to any credit card or PayPal.

That's probably good advice for any kind of online account that you don't use anymore.

Online Life Lesson #2: Say you have an account with an online store (Let's call them company X). Your user id on company X's web site is jdoe and your password is abc123.

(Of course, if your password is really abc123, you deserve whatever happens to you. Same goes if your password is password, your birthdate, or written on a post-it note stuck to the bottom of your keyboard at work.)

Let's say you call company X's tech support one day for some help with a minor problem and the helpdesk person says to you, "...and your password is abc123." The minute you get off the phone with X's tech support, either shut down the account or change your password.

In this day and age there is no logical reason why a helpdesk person should be able to see your password. They should be able to reset it to something generic. But they should only see ********** when they look up your account.

If you're a normal person you probably have between one and four passwords that you use on a regular basis. You have one basic user id that you use for most stuff, and variations of that id that you use when you couldn't get the original id when signing up for a new account.

Let's say I work at a helpdesk and just found out my job's getting outsourced overseas. Let's say I have no morals and am furious that I'm about to lose my job. What is to stop me from grabbing as many user id's and passwords as I can before they take my access away? (Most IT people wouldn't do it, but we all realize there are always a few douchebags in every population.)

If I'm one of those douchebags and I know you log in to company X's web site as jdoe and your password is abc123, I could try logging into some other major retailers' web sites as well as PayPal, eBay, popular online bank websites, American Express, etc. etc. etc. with that id and password. If you log into a few places as jdoe with the password abc123, I could make your life hell.

So, if you call company X and the helpdesk reads your password to you, come up with two new passwords. On the company X account, make it the first new password and on any other site where you used abc123, make it something else.

Again, I know you don't come to this site for geek speak. But I know how many of you clicked on the Windows Update link after my post about the Internet Explorer problem. One or two of you may appreciate the advice.

I'm just saying...

If you haven't been paying attention, I've not posted in a while. reasons abound, but mostly it's due to a very busy holiday. Let's see:
My sister in law and her family came by for an all-too-brief visit followed the next day by my mom, sister, her husband, and three kids. Nothing like a 120% increase in household occupants for a week to keep you busy. We had a blast, the kids got along really well, and Major was petted to his content.
There's something screwy going on with my body, too. As faithful readers know, I am in pain every day. Lately, it keeps me awake through the night, and the times I do actually sleep are fairly fitful, either from dreams or from being awakened by the pain. Little seems to help, save large doses of alcohol, vicodin, or the current batch of "may cause drowsiness" cold medicine the Mrs and I are taking (to combat the colds we have.) As a matter of fact, last night was the best sleep I'd had in weeks. Between my every day meds, the theraflu severe cold PM, and Tylenol PM, I slept like a baby. The worst part of the pain recently is that it knows no home. I always have pain in my hand/wrist, and in my lower back, but it often creeps into my shoulder(s), legs, thighs, hips, neck, or brain housing group.
Changes in weather, especially cold weather, are a wonderful instigator as well.

So, my best option (since I could seldom do anything but keep my eyes closed and try to focus on something else) was sleep. Being tired from not sleeping at night, coupled with the overwhelming fatigue caused by a constant assault on the senses, topped off with a handful of pain pills, makes me pretty much non-functional as a husband and father. As I see it, my options are:
Up the pills: benefits--less "felt" pain; drawbacks--less "aware" of my surroundings
Sleep More: benefits--less "felt" pain; drawbacks--less time spent as a husband/father
Take the pain: benefits--I'm awake more; drawbacks--tired more, and angry more, in pain more
IEDs. The gift that keeps on giving.
