April 9, 2011 -- Few people have heard of the Battle of Baghdad, which ended eight years ago today, let alone its cover-up. They might remember Iraq's information minister, Mohammad Saeed al-Sahhaf, warning of a surprise awaiting invading U.S. troops if they attacked Saddam International Airport. Later, al-Sahhaf claimed that the Iraqi Republican Guard had slaughtered U.S. troops, and was in control of the entire facility. His claims were mostly true, but were effectively countered by a U.S. military-media campaign of evasions and distortions that switched the subject from the airport action to Private Jessica Lynch, while ridiculing al-Sahhaf as Baghdad Bob.

Consider a U.S. Military Veteran minding his own business driving his car within the U.S.A. gets stopped by U.S. Border Patrol. They seek to search his car without resonable suspicion that he was violating any law and question his citzenship. Mind you, this goes on within the U.S. Border; not upon entering into the U.S. but within the U.S.! Don't believe it?

In early 2010 WWII veteran Jerry Yellin was introduced to a young man, Dory Klock, an eight-year Army veteran who had fought in Bosnia. Dory was having difficulty adjusting, keeping a job, and fighting drugs and alcohol. As a combat veteran, Jerry knew these inner struggles all too well. Dory's wife and two daughters were suffering with him, and Dory’s mom Lin, Jerry’s friend, was beside herself. Then one day Lin called and asked Jerry if he could help her out. "Sure, Lin, anything," he told her.

Kabul -- Before coming to Afghanistan, I spent a week with students and teachers from a Colorado College nonviolence class who invited me to join them for their retreat near Crestone, Colorado, in an area of the Rocky Mountains described as one of the ten most peaceful places on earth. Coyotes, woodpeckers, and songbirds were easily audible. We reveled in the quiet beauty of an area that is home to 23 spiritual groups, all of whom prize the valley they share as a sacred space.

If you have retired from the military and are transitioning to a civilian career, it’s time to take an inventory of your transferable skills -- the skills that will place you light years ahead of your civilian peers in a tough economy.

Activision's Call of Duty Endowment Awards Half Million Dollars in Grants to Combat Veterans' Unemployment Recipient organizations will use funding to help returning veterans and wounded warriors obtain civilian careers

The article by Megan Eckstein in Wednesday's FNP was titled "REASON FOR OPTIMISM" -- in big, bold letters. The subtitle was "Bartlett confident about victory in Afghanistan after trip." Pure propagandistic spin. Why such flimsy pretense in defense of this barbaric war? Why?

In aftermath of Taliban regime in 2001 Afghanistan’s capital ‘Kabul’ gradually becomes a city of foreign intercourse, and also a city of military decisions. The phrases like, the fall of Taliban, new Afghan friends and western allies were the topic of media and statesmen. Apparently, they were speaking the end of war, but behind the doors Kabul was a place for remapping military surges.

A Solider that went by the name of Bonaparte is quoted as saying: “ An army marches on its stomach!” He knew a bit about soldiering.

If you are approaching your transition to a civilian career, it’s time to take an inventory of your transferable skills. The good news is this: since you trained and worked in the military, you may be light years ahead of your civilian peers. In addition to the skills you gained from service schools, military occupational specialties or ratings, and coursework, your role in parenting, projects, hobbies, community service and other life experience will serve you well in your transition.

Hell not we won’t go” or “Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh, the NLF* is gonna win”, or “bring our boys home now!” Protestors carrying flags of the Communist enemy down American streets condemning the baby killers - The United States sent to defend South Vietnam against Communist Aggression. Supporters of the Communist war machine in South Vietnam (in America) including [Hanoi] Jane Fonda and [Senator] John Kerry launched a loosely coordinated anti-war (and anti-American) program of condemnation – in part - focused on the men that fought in Vietnam.

Four hundred (400) United States Marines are with a carrier battle group and are immediately available to invade Libya, defeat conventional and irregular Libyan forces, install and interim government, ensure that essential services to the Libyan civilian infrastructure is repaired and reopened, provide assistance to thousands of refugees, reopen diplomatic missions and embassies, restore petroleum production and satisfy the wants, demands, desires, criticism(s) and ranting of local, national and international media. Note a bad days work huh. Jarheads are good – knew all along they were as good as the country expects of them.

“You may fly over a land forever, you may bomb it, atomize it, pulverize it clean of life-but if you desire to defend it, and keep it for civilization, you must do this on the ground, the way the Roman Legions did, by putting your young men in the mud!” (T.R. Fehrenbach. This kind of War, 1963)

Ostensibly, Adm. Mike Mullen’s document is about how the U.S. military ought to organize and prepare for future threats. The watchwords there: building networks, whether with civilian government and international agencies or foreign partner forces, prepared to “extend” U.S. “competitive advantages” in military tech and training to all who seek its help. That sets a “transition from a force that has been engaged in sustained combat operations to a Joint Force that is shaped for the future,” Mullen’s team writes — one in which the U.S. bolsters its military strength through deep alliances even as the Iraq and Afghanistan wars end.
