Ludwig_van on EHOWA [More:]
At my very first meetup last year I took this picture of Ludwig_van.

And today, whilst trawling the web, I found an edited version on Ernie's House of Whoopass. I have no idea how Ernie found this picture, but suspect it's through my Flickr stream because I've had correspondence in the past with Ernie about a charity he runs.

I'm not linking to Ernie's House of Whoopass and I pixellated the page text because it has a lot of content people might find offensive.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I see boobies in your picture, you've mentioned offensive content, but you mention a charity he runs, so I don't know whether this is good or bad haha.

If I had to assume, I'd say a bad thing.

Ernie is a good bloke, mostly, and I always check out his site because he can have some really funny stuff on there. But his politics are far to the right of mine and he has the occasional rant against Islamist extremists. It was one such rant I pixellated out. He's a former Marine and is very supportive of the troops in Iraq/Afghanistan.

The charity he runs is called 'Let's Bring Em Home', where people donate money or air miles to bring servicemen home for Thanksgiving or Christmas (not just the Middle East but anywhere the US has a base, including within the US) . Many serivcemen them are granted leave for the holidays, but can't afford to fly home (an infantryman earns peanuts, and usually sends most of it home anyway if he has a family). A few years ago I emailed Ernie about the charity and he asked me if I could find out if it'd work to bring UK servicemen home too. I made enquiries of the Ministry of Defence and got a big fat NO from them. Bastards.

Oh, and yeah, he loves boobies.

Boobies are good. Pro-war rants, not so much ;)
