What Were a U.S. Soldier?s Odds of Dying in Each War?

clipped by: CrazyRedHead
Clip Source: gizmodo.com


Our perceptions of wars are pushed and pulled by myriad forces

But on the level of the individual, which was the deadliest?

? War of Independence: 2 percent (1 in 50)
? War of 1812: 0.8 percent (1 in 127)
? Indian Wars: 0.9 percent (1 in 106)
? Mexican War: 2.2 percent (1 in 45)
? Civil War: 6.7 percent (1 in 15)
? Spanish-American War: 0.1 percent (1 in 798)
? World War I: 1.1 percent (1 in 89)
? World War II: 1.8 percent (1 in 56)
? Korean War: 0.6 percent (1 in 171)
? Vietnam War: 0.5 percent (1 in 185)
? Persian Gulf War: 0.03 percent (1 in 3,162)


m not trying to fight in any war, but if you strapped me in a time machine and made me pick one, I guess Id go with the Spanish-American War. As long as I dont have to be in Teddy Roosevelts regiment.

Ailing sacred turtle makes Vietnam scramble

clipped by: wiccantexan
Clip Source: www.cbsnews.com
Hundreds of people are working around the clock to clean up a lake in the heart of Vietnams capital in hopes of saving a rare, ailing giant turtle that is considered a sacred symbol of Hanoi.

Some experts fear pollution at Hoan Kiem Lake is killing the giant freshwater turtle, which has a soft shell the size of a desk. It is one of the worlds most-endangered species, with only four known to be alive worldwide.


The Hoan Kiem turtle is rooted in Vietnamese folklore, and some even believe the animal that lives in the lake today is the same mythical creature that helped a Vietnamese king fend off the Chinese nearly six centuries ago.


Its the first time anyone has tried to capture the turtle, and Vietnamese have flocked to the lake in hopes of spotting it ? a sign of good luck ? as newspapers run daily articles about its plight.


the turtle that swims in the lake is a legend to the Vietnamese people who call him "cu rua," a word of great respect reserved for great-grandfathers.

The first public len dong ritual in Hanoi

clipped by: wiccantexan

Len dong is a ritual of spirit mediumship in connection with Dao Mau, a Vietnamese mother goddess religion, in which followers become mediums for various deities. Sessions involve a number of artistic elements, such as music, singing, dance and the use of costumes. The invocation songs (hat van) used to induce a trance in mediums have been described as a "particularly noteworthy expression of the performing art of the Kinh people"; the len dong ritual itself is considered to be an element of Vietnams intangible cultural heritage.




There was a time the practice of len dong was seen as forms of superstition and proscribed in Vietnam, although practitioners continued to perform rituals in secret. In 1987, after a period of prohibition, the government relaxed restrictions on the practice of len dong, and it gradually saw a recurrence in popularity. In 2001, it was the subject of an international conference, and a foreign delegation was allowed to attend a festival at Ph? Giày

100,000 Turn Out In Madison For Largest Rally Since Vietnam War

Clip Source: crooksandliars.com

Over 100,000 people in Madison, Wisconsin were joined by thousands of other Americans around the country in protest of Gov. Scott Walker?s attempt to strip collective bargaining rights from the state?s unionized workers, but you would not have known any of this if you watched cable news on Saturday as the coverage of the protests ranged from disappointing (MSNBC) to scant (CNN) to non-existent (Fox News).


Hundreds of thousands of Americans around the country march on their governments in an event that would be a perfect fit for the 24 hour cable news cycle. Even better, the protests were occurring during the news cycle dead zone of Saturday afternoon. The coverage should have been everywhere in the media, but if you turned on your television in hopes of watching the rally from Wisconsin live, you were disappointed.

Irelands Dramatic Election

clipped by: citizenbfk
clippers remarks: This is a U.S. story about it. The voting system seems most fair, every vote counts, rather than winner take all. -- it seems to allow for more genuine expression of political opinions and political change. One U.K. paper called this the "voting pencil revolution." -- the political party that has been in power for most of Irelands history since Independence now knocked down to third-rate, status, being linked to driving the country into bankruptcy. The voters, too, seem to have made it clear that it shouldnt just be the taxpayers who pay for bank failures and the austerities, now most noted in Greece and scheduled for the U.K., and the terms of the IMF need to be contested before their teeth sink into the economy. Same happening here in USA, largest protest since the Vietnam War now going on due to economic and labor issues (although waving the flag and wasting money for global wars, Zionism and Oil still almost the only news we hear). -- The story of what seems like real d

The Next Great Government Rip-Off (USA version, 2011)

clippers remarks: After the recent near Trillion Dollar bail-out of the banks, this comes next. (Note: About banks, when a business fails the normal capitalistic, result is suppose to be: going out of business, not taxpayers money being given to owners). NOW, (like in Russian in the 1990s), the scam is no-bid sale of public property, resources, utilities, etc. -- Note: In normal capitalism and business, not having bids on projects is the worst way to go, most often leading to getting a bad deal and often excessive profit going to friends or political supporters (like this article reports). THIS IS HAPPENING NOW, interesting too how its in Wisconsin, site of the largest public demonstrations since the Vietnam War. This fact, too, is an aspect of a classic scam: Make people afraid for their money and jobs and while they fight for these things, sell off public assets for the profit of a few friends; also, divide people, have them fighting themselves, and pretend you want the good,: you want to

Common Cause of Wisconsin, a government watchdog group, raised concerns that the no-bid clause could have been written to benefit a campaign donor such as Koch Industries, the largest corporate contributor to Gov. Scott Walker in the campaign.

US Will Be the Worlds Third Largest Economy: Citi


The world is going to become richer and richer as developing economies play catch up over the coming years, according to Willem Buiter, chief economist at Citigroup.


"We expect strong growth in the world economy until 2050, with average real GDP growth rates of 4.6 percent per annum until 2030 and 3.8 percent per annum between 2030 and 2050," Buiter wrote in a market research.


"Developing Asia and Africa will be the fastest growing regions, in our view, driven by population and income per capita growth, followed in terms of growth by the Middle East, Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe, the CIS, and finally the advanced nations of today," he wrote.


Using that index the nations to watch over the coming years are Bangladesh, China, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Mongolia, Nigeria, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Vietnam.


"They are our 3G countries," Buiter said.

CHINAS POOR TREATED TO FAKE RICE

clipped by: kareval
clippers remarks: "A Chinese Restaurant Association official said that eating three bowls of this fake rice would be like eating one plastic bag. Due to the seriousness of the matter, he added that there would be an investigation of factories alleged to be producing the rice," Very Vietnam noted.

Unfortunately, its not the first time fake rice has been sold in China, according to Chinas Global Times.

Previously, a company in Xian, Shaanxi Province had added flavoring to ordinary rice to synthesize "Wuchang rice," which is regarded to be the best rice in the country.

About 300,000 people were injured and at least six infants died in 2008 when Chinese milk and infant formula was found to be adulterated with melamine, which was thought to help the milk pass nutrition tests.

China?s poor treated to fake rice made from plastic: report




Chinas history with food safety is a rocky one, but even in the annals of robbery and abuse, this will go down in infamy.


Various reports in Singapore media have said that Chinese companies are mass producing fake rice made, in part, out of plastic, according to one online publication Very Vietnam.


The "rice" is made by mixing potatoes, sweet potatoes and plastic. The potatoes are first formed into the shape of rice grains. Industrial synthetic resins are then added to the mix. The rice reportedly stays hard even after being cooked.


The Korean-language Weekly Hong Kong reported that the fake rice is being sold in the Chinese town of Taiyuan, in Shaanxi province.

Wounded Iraq Vet Gets Heckled During Columbia University Speech


Nov. 14, 2008: Army Staff Sgt. Anthony Maschek, poses with his wife, Angela, at a wounded warrior dinner held at the Capitol Hill Club.

Columbia University students heckled a war hero during a town-hall meeting on whether ROTC should be allowed back on campus.


"Racist!" some students yelled at Anthony Maschek, a Columbia freshman and former Army staff sergeant awarded the Purple Heart after being shot 11 times in a firefight in northern Iraq in February 2008. Others hissed and booed the veteran.


Several students laughed and jeered the Idaho native, a 10th Mountain Division infantryman who spent two years at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington recovering from grievous wounds.


Maschek, who is studying economics, miraculously survived the insurgent attack in Kirkuk. In the hail of gunfire, he broke both legs and suffered wounds to his abdomen, arm and chest.


Maschek, 28, had bravely stepped up to the mike Tuesday at the meeting to issue an impassioned challenge to fellow students on their perceptions of the military.
