Military and Domestic Violence
It has been made known to me through people who have familiarity with decision-making processes that many political figures believe that, if men are allowed to do whatever they want to do to their wives, more men will be willing to go into the military. There are... What doesn’t Military get about Executive in Charge?
The Commander in Chief is in charge of the military. A civilian Secretary of Defense manages the Military. The Commander in Chief defines the outcome and the Military’s job is to produce the means. The... The spirit of the bayonet
DRILL SERGEANT: “What’s the spirit of the bayonet?” SOLDIER RESPONSE: “To kill drill sergeant.” When infantrymen are trained, the central purpose is never lost as it is captured in the often repeated... Rogue soldiers break your soul
No more evidence is needed that the Afghanistan war has gone on too long. When the troops breakdown mentally after too many and too long deployments, they don’t just fall apart individually. It can happen to... “Cognitively challenged generals"
“War consists largely of the endless tinkering with PowerPoint slides to conform with the idiosyncrasies of cognitively challenged generals in order to spoon-feed them information.” This is a story in... America needs the money, anyone want to buy weapons?
You see this is exactly what undercuts American credibility in the Middle East. The little Kingdon of Saudi Arabia needs $60 billion in new weapons (for what purpose?) Would it be to kick the crap out of Iran if... Petraeus policing Afghan contracting
Prerequisite to policing American contractors General Petraeus keeps adding to his resume of credibility. Clamping down on Afghan corruption is excellent. His strategy in dealing with Afghanistan is on the money,... Slowly carrying injustice -- discrimination against gays
Judicial resources spent dragging out gay rights enforcement Think about all of the qualified people who have been disenfranchised and who have lost the opportunity to serve their country while all three branches... Iran revives the Snark Missile circa 1950s
Back to the future – I can’t help but make a comparison. See for yourself in the pictures. I wonder where the four “cruise missiles” are loaded into the Iranian craft? Here is a reference to the US built... Coming home from Iraq - warmest welcome
If you know any of these soldiers who fought in Iraq, if you have spoken with them, one thing that you won’t likely hear is complaining. They fought the war that their government asked them to fight, and they... Feminism and the Military
A Congressional candidate from Washington State, Ernest Huber, has made the claim that feminism "feminizes" and "weakens" American men and reduces the pool of suitable warriors to defend the country. There are many ways in which his claim is wrong.
The first and most obvious... Chinese possess missiles capable of sinking aircraft carriers
It had to happen. Carriers are highly vulnerable, though modern defense technology protects them very well. The Chinese believe they need the missile in the event that the USA and its extended fleet somehow get... Connecting Families, Creating Memories: Hallmark Recordable Story
There's a cool, new way to connect with family and loved ones. Hallmark's Recordable Storybooks allow anyone to "read" a story, even when they cannot be present. Recordable Storybooks feature voice-capture... What Republican candidates are really saying
Hello, my name is John Smith, and I am your Republican candidate for Congress.Like many ordinary Americans, I am concerned about the direction that this country has taken. I believe that the federal debt and government spending are out of control. I promise to rein in the... Bridge too far: “We’re in this to win.”
General Petraeus wants to win and spoken as Bill Clinton, that depends on what win means. What does winning mean? 1. Neutralize the Taliban 2. Make the...
