About Uncle J
Jim Hanson, me, took early retirement from Army Special Forces where I served as a Weapons Sergeant in 1st Group. I have been writing on military and national security issues as “Uncle Jimbo” for 5 years now. Matt Burden was kind enough to invite me to write at BLACKFIVE and I will continue to do so. But I needed a place to talk about all the other craziness going on around this world. Crappiest planet I have ever lived on, bar none.
America is the greatest country to have sprung up here and I am not interested in hearing about it’s decline, or that we ought to be ashamed of our history. Of course we have done things that were wrong, but over all we have done so much good that we ought to be thanked not reviled. That’s right I’m Unapologetically American.
I been around the world twice and seen goats float in a boat, so there isn’t much that’s gonna blow my mind. There are about two dozen country stamps on my passport and I lived in Europe for three years and Asia for three as well. I have three ex-wives and as far as I’m concerned that’s a full set. My daughter is now a freshman at the University of Washington and without question my favorite thing in the world.
SOG Media is my job and we send correspondents to conflict zones to do original reporting. Yeah shockingly we don’t trust the old media to do that well. We also sell advertising on a network of the top military blogs and are now actually getting some of these great writers and analysts paid for their work. I’m also Communications Director for the Warrior Legacy Foundation (WLF) which serves to remind America of the value of military service and to assist those who served with charitable works. I serve as Director of the Warrior Legacy Institute (WLI), a project of WLF, that writes papers and produces videos on military and national security issues in language you don’t have to be an expert to understand. We believe all Americans should have the information they need to participate in important debates about how we should keep our country safe.
I am prone to vitriolic rants and profanity-laced tirades when provoked, but those who know me will tell you I spend a lot more time laughing than yelling. My politics, if I have to have some, are Hawkish Libertarian. My religious beliefs are that I currently don’t have a God in this fight, but I’m open to signs that I should change my mind.
So welcome and feel free to tell me what you think in the comments, good, bad or ugly.
Cordially,
Uncle J
For grins, my itunage
So how is the fear and loathing going? This should give you an idea of whom this is. C advises (by the way the wedding was quite nice) you are now living in the NCR and I would again enjoy the diatribe we both, at one time, enjoyed pervasively. I, again, will be out in the area on business 13-19 Dec. Let me know your schedule. Contact me James. Good luck in your endeavors.

Thank you,
Stuart
I love you Uncle Jimbo!!
Happy New Year!
Whoop whoop Uncle Jimbo on FOX!!! whoop Whoop!!
My religious beliefs are that I currently don’t have a God in this fight, but I’m open to signs that I should change my mind.
If you ask Him sincerely, to make Himself real to you . . . He will. You may discover that the battle is not yours . . . . it’s His, and you could be one of those He will present Truth through.

Seriously dude, what is all that horseshit on your itunes?
With the exception of Jethro Tull (I am listening to John barleycorn must die) that stuff is gay. Like, a dude that takes it in the can at a Jonas Brothers concert from the gay N’Sync guy would look at your iTunes collection and tell you to stop being a fag,
Thanks TSO,
You validate me.
Cordially,
Uncle J

OMG cool website. Thanks for the info!
Why are you after South Park on a Google search??? You don’t really look like THAT Uncle Jimbo. Life sucks when you’re listed after a cartoon.
Good day, I look at all your articles, keep them coming.
When the bun in the oven wakes me in the middle of the night, I usually go to my FOX recordings to absorb as much as my meager female mind will allow. Tonight I thought I’d investigate why S was so venomous the last time your name came up. Took all of 5 seconds to figure that out. You, my dear friend, are like sandpaper to varnished eyes. Much as I resent the painful rub, I’ll be back once the scabs heal. And, if you find some way to publicly make up for the ‘get in the kitchen’ remark I may show you pics of Scott in a kilt at the WEDDING!!!!

You called it; 7-year old killed in SWAT raid in Michigan….

Uncle J – follow you on Blackfive and love what you are doing.
As ex – Army I support our troops
I am wondering why no one is covering what is happening in Afghanistan with the BArgram attack and now Kandahar.
See what I am talking about at
