Bruce McQuain does double duty on the show every Sunday. Not only does he do an AMAZING job with our weekly tribute to the troops, Someone You Should Know, he is my favorite blogger on politics, writing up a storm at Questions & Observations. Every Sunday I take the opportunity to talk politics with Bruce, and this week was no different, touching on New Hampshire, the primary process and what it will take to defeat Obama.

Author Sally Pipes returned to WRKO’s Pundit Review Radio with the follow-up to her 2010 book The Truth About Obamacare. Her new book, The Pipes Plan: The Top Ten Ways to Dismantle and Replace ObamaCare is a practical guide to rid us of this grotesque, unread, budget-busting disaster that was forced upon the public and remains deeply unpopular.

Bruce McQuain from Blackfive joined us once again for Someone You Should Know, our weekly tribute to the troops. Bruce spent 28 years in the U.S. Army and he is a veteran of the Vietnam war. He brings a perspective and understanding to these stories that we could never match.
This week Bruce told us about Wyatt Waldron who enlisted in the Marine Corps at age 17, on Sept. 12, 2001.
“Sept. 11 kind of felt like a slap in the face to me,” he said. “I felt like it was my duty to go and try to do something.”
Nearly five years and three combat tours in Iraq later, Waldron has achieved a distinction few, if any, others serving in that conflict can cite: three medals for combat valor.
Waldron, 22, retired from the Marines in February as a lance corporal. But he returned to his Twentynine Palms base on Tuesday for the latest and most prestigious of his honors, the awarding of the Silver Star, the third-highest military decoration that can be awarded to a member of the U.S. Armed Forces for valor.
The Someone You Should Know radio collaboration began as an extension of Matt Burden’s series at Blackfive. Bruce does an incredible job with the series every week.

This week Bruce told us about Sergeant First Class Javier Camacho. From his Silver Star citation,
Sergeant First Class Camacho maneuvered his tank between the brigade scout vehicle and the enemy fire from the north while B24 covered the south of the scouts so Sergeant First Class Newby and himself could go to ground and administer aid to two litter urgent victims of the attack, with reckless abandonment of personal safety of their own. Gaining security on the area and establishing an evacuation route, Sergeant First Class Camacho then loaded the two casualties onto B34 and sped them to medical attention. Once the wounded were out of harms way and B21 arrived, Sergeant First Class Camacho then guided this section in a tactically proficient and expedient manner that caught the enemy forces by complete surprise and enabled him to annihilate all the enemy forces in the immediate area that allowed his troop to secure passage through a very canalized area. Sergeant First Class Camacho’s personal bravery, tactical expertise and exemplary devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, 3d Squadron, 7th U.S. Cavalry, Third Infantry Division (M) “Rock of the Marne” and the United States Army.
