Joint Chiefs boss: Many Iraq, Afghanistan vets find bleak future


?Hundreds of thousands, we?re not sure quite frankly, are exhibiting the symptoms of and will have post-traumatic stress that all of us need to deal with,? Mullen said. ?We pass these precious individuals, who are the best military personnel I have ever seen, from silo to silo, and tell them to do the best you can and have a nice life.

Homeless veterans are also a major issue.
Mullen, a Vietnam War veteran, said it took nearly 10 years before Vietnam vets began showing up as a significant portion of the homeless.


Veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are experiencing homelessness in greater numbers and at a faster rate. Women veterans, including those with children, are ending up homeless in larger numbers than their male counterparts, according to Mullen.


?There are those in the homeless world right now who tell me that we are generating homeless veterans at four times the rate out of these wars,? Mullen said.

10 Photos Capturing Moments of Spontaneous Badassery

Its easy to look badass with careful planning: Whether its entering a prize fight, acting in intense action scenes with the benefit of careful choreography or just waiting for the crowd to gather before you jump your dirt bike over 16 flaming tigers, the common thread is always planning and forethought. Its a lot harder to come off as a total badass in the heat of the moment, with no warning, no setup and no pretense. Hard, but not impossible:

On the Matter of Indicting Oxfam and International Red Cross for War Crimes

clipped by: merrie
clippers remarks: ... have publicly downplayed the revelations. However, it is only a matter of time before large numbers of returning soldiers become aware of the extensively documented instances of the Pakistani militarys close involvement with Taliban fighting ISAF troops, and become fully apprised of the extent to which the U.S. government is continuing to support the Pakistani military.

I really do not want to contemplate how these discoveries might play out.

One thing seems clear at this point: the U.S. civilian government is currently held in such contempt by the majority of Americans that a full accounting of its support for Pakistans military wouldnt come as a great shock to the general public. This would not be the case for the U.S. military, which spent decades rebuilding its image after the Vietnam War. The military is now probably the most respected institution in the United States, so it would have a very long way to fall, if it fell from grace...

http://bit.ly/dcSiGQ
I am sure that aid organizations such as Oxfam and the International Red Cross would be outraged at being labeled war criminals, as would governments donating to Pakistans flood victims. But they are indeed war criminals if they dont insure that the relief money they provide is not being diverted to Pakistans military. Thats because the military has a history of diverting financial assistance to warfare against India, nuclear weapons, and terrorism.

The same observations apply to commanders in the United States military and other militaries serving in Afghanistan and the defense officials overseeing the militaries, only with an added warning:


I think only a small number of soldiers serving in Afghanistan have read the WikiLeaks documents that discuss the involvement of Pakistans military and intelligence branch (ISI) in the deaths and injuries of ISAF troops

Various officials connected with the U.S. Department of Defense, notably Secretary of Defense Bob Gates and Admiral Mike Mullen

The Art of War, by Sun Tzu

clipped by: citizenbfk
clippers remarks: "There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare."

"If the campaign is protracted, the resources of the State will not be equal to the strain."

I was thinking about this when it was announced that Afghanistan was now Americas longest war.

But what about Vietnam, I wondered, that was 21 years. Afghanistan now only nine years. -- But then I realized they probably are lying about when Vietnam started. It ended in 1975 and certainly was going on ten years before that, 1965.

But then I realized they are probably lying about when it ended. Without a Declaration of War who knows when these things begin or end, especially with black ops and covert operations before and after.

In fact, the USA has now been involved in intense modern war for the last 70 years. Seventy years. From 1940 to now, 2010.

It would be tempting to say our generals and political leaders are stupid, but wed missed the mark: They are greedy. Ruthless. And liars

Now we will

A Little Shuteye for Sheila Jackson Lee

clipped by: Antara
clippers remarks: hahahaa!!!
Clip Source: www.moonbattery.com

Its hard work squashing free speech, arming Americas enemies, insulting constituents, hijacking hearses, staging phony doctors, and praising the lasting peace between North and South Vietnam ? and apparently even harder work remaining conscious through the speeches of her fellow left-wing ideologue and first Muslim Congresscrumb Keith Ellison. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) takes a little nap on the taxpayers dime:


sheila-jackson-lee-sleeps-1.jpg

sheila-jackson-lee-sleeps-2.jpg

Considering how much damage she does when shes awake, Queen Sheila should be encouraged to nap more often ? even if it does leave drool stains on her outfit.


Incredibly, this Congress has managed to cling to a 16% favorability rating.


Via blogHOUSTON, on a tip from Byron.
