JB Campbell: Psychological Armor

17
Back in 1981, I was the head of a bulletproof car company in Monterey, California. We’d construct a box made of Lexgard inside a limo or regular car. It was pretty effective but difficult to install. Lexgard is General Electric’s transparent polycarbonate armor, very effective at stopping handgun bullets. If you put a hard surface in front of it, such as glass or sheet metal, it will stop rifle bullets. After the bullet hits the hard surface it is upset slightly on its axis and is then trapped in the dense but crystal-clear polycarbonate material.

Small Business Provider of Health Food to Military Personnel Makes Big Difference Worldwide

1
As a longtime supporter of our military, I have the highest respect for the individuals - and families - who defend this nation. Concerning the latter, the husbands and wives who shoulder the burden stateside, I know that military service is an exacting sacrifice for everyone -- for a spouse who must suddenly become a single parent, for a child who misses the loving comfort of a mother or father. This holiday season, those families should not be alone or forgotten. But sadly, too many military families suffer a shadowy silence: absent from seasonal revelry and denied even the simplest rewards, our military families struggle to survive.

Women Veterans: A Year Can Change it All

1
I am on a road trip back home to where I spent most of my life. This trip back home was to drive my daughter back so that she can start a new job and her new life as an adult on her own. She is not alone and will be back with what is left of my family, which got me thinking about how much can change in a year.

ALLEN ROLAND / WIKILEAKS CONFIRMS AMERICA’S FEAR BASED DIPLOMACY

4
The good ship America is leaking badly and Wikileaks has confirmed the extent of our miseries and moral bankruptcy. Does the Obama administration have the courage to look at itself and the outdated fear-based Cheney/Bush policies and diplomacy it inherited ~ and instead ride the rising tide of transparency and truth or will it continue to be bound in the shallows of moral and financial irrelevance in a rapidly uniting and interdependent world?

WikiLeaks and the Sound of Silence

3
The scope and scale of WikiLeaks is a marvel to behold. Some praise it as the ultimate form of democracy. Others as the epitome of the most sacred of liberty’s principles: the right to know. Yet the real story here is not what’s revealed but what’s withheld. The marvel is not what we now know but what is already known that is left unsaid. And what is given an interpretive spin by those newspapers granted priority access.
