Free Kalashnikov with every purchase

clippers remarks: more (at source): The guns are made by IO Inc in North Carolina, the only company in the US which manufactures the robust, durable weapon. First developed in the Soviet Union and exported to Moscows allies across the world, the AK-47 has been used in countless conflicts in the developing world. In the hands of the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War, it became a symbol of resistance to America.

Mark Muller, whose business slogan is "God, Guns, Guts, and American Pick-Up Trucks", said he had been overwhelmed by the response.


"Its extremely successful. There is a lot of worry about crime, we have a methamphetamine problem around here and people just want to protect themselves," said the boss of Max Motors near Kansas City. "And what could be better than supporting American products in these troubled times?"


Mr Muller, who only sells American vehicles, is offering a gift certificate ? only to be used at a licensed dealer ? for a Kalashnikov AK-47 worth $450 (£320).

Can We Stop Being a Superpower, Please? Says New Age Hustler

clipped by: foxyarse
clippers remarks: "This is a relevant question in the aftermath of President Obamas visit to Russia, a country that yearns to return to its former status and does everything it can to posture as its old superpower self. Yet other than a bloated nuclear arsenal and swaggering oil production, present-day Russia doesnt fit the bill and never will again. Its diminished threat is the first reason why the U.S. should abandon the thankless task of policing the world. The second is the enormous waste of resources involved in being a superpower. Sheer inertia keeps fueling the production of new armaments to replace outworn ones that were useless to begin with. Has the Stealth bomber justified its staggering cost? Has the nuclear submarine, Polaris missile, Titan missile, not to mention Star Wars? Most of these weapons havent seen the slightest use. Billions of dollars have been spent on a defense system that is protecting us from a foe who long ago neutralized its threat." Deepak Chancer

The third reason to stop being a superpower is that Nixons specter of the U.S. as a pitiful helpless giant hasnt decreased since Vietnam but only become worse. Crude terrorism lurking in the shadows of side streets is a match for advanced weapons systems if you are measuring in terms of psychological threat, anxiety, and a creeping sense that the enemy can strike at will. Atomic arsenals, a massive standing army and space-age technology arent justified when a single dirty bomb can sneak in under the fence. Its time to accept what every insurgency expert tells us, that asymmetrical warfare is here to stay and must be fought on a smaller, smarter scale that is closer to neighborhood policing than conventional, World War II-style combat.

Walter Cronkite has died.

Walter Cronkite has died at age 92. (Photo: Time Inc.)

    Walter Cronkite, who personified television journalism for more than a generation as anchor and managing editor of the "CBS Evening News," has died Friday night in New York. He was 92.


    Known for his steady and straightforward delivery, his trim moustache, and his iconic sign-off line - "Thats the way it is" - Cronkite dominated the television news industry during one of the most volatile periods of American history. He broke the news of the Kennedy assassination, reported extensively on Vietnam and Civil Rights and Watergate, and seemed to be the very embodiment of TV journalism.


    "Cronkite came to be the sort of personification of his era," veteran PBS Correspondent Robert McNeil once said. "He became kind of the media figure of his time. Very few people in history, except maybe political and military leaders, are the embodiment of their time, and Cronkite seemed to be."

The Seminal Point for the Decline in Media Credibility

clipped by: willhelm
clippers remarks: "after nearly 60,000 U.S. deaths and countless Vietnamese casualties, we bugged out. There?s no way to put an honorable face on that.

After the U.S. evacuated, here?s a description of what happened in Ba Chuc.

?On April 30, 1977, Pol Pot?s troops launched a surprise attack on 13 villages in eight Vietnamese border provinces. Ba Chuc was the hardest hit. The massacre was at its fiercest during the 12 days of occupation, April 18-30, 1978, during which the intruders killed 3,157 villagers. The survivors fled and took refuge in the pagodas of Tam Buu and Phi Lai or in caves on Mount Tuong, but they were soon discovered. The raiders shot them, slit their throats or beat them to death with sticks. Babies were flung into the air and pierced with bayonets. Women were raped and left to die with stakes planted in their genitals.?

Cronkite didn?t cover it.

Cronkite was wrong. ...his words became a watershed marking the place where the gradual erosion of the MSM?s credibility.
his comments were these:

Who won and who lost in the great Tet offensive against the cities?  I?m not sure.  The Vietcong did not win by a knockout, but neither did we.  The referees of history may make it a draw.

It seems now more certain than ever that the bloody experience of Vietnam is to end in a stalemate.

But it is increasingly clear to this reporter that the only rational way out then will be to negotiate, not as victors, but as honorable people who lived up to their pledge to defend democracy, and did the best they could.  (Emphases added)

When President Johnson heard of Cronkite?s comments, he was quoted as saying, ?That?s it.  If I?ve lost Cronkite, I?ve lost middle America.?

In January 2006,  Cronkite said his statement on Vietnam was his proudest moment.  When asked then if he would give the same advice on Iraq, Cronkite didn?t hesitate to say ?Yes.?

Army Gives Money To Harvard

clipped by: merrie
clippers remarks: The minister who gave the invocation could barely disguise his disgust for the military, while the president of a university that declines to be involved in the cadets? military education felt compelled to condescendingly hand out copies of ?Just And Unjust War,? as if they might not be familiar with the concept. Having Gen. Petraeus on hand seemed to be a draw, though. Big crowd that cheered and clapped a lot.

Here?s Harvard student handbook warning to students:

Current federal policy of excluding known lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals from admission to ROTC or of discharging them from service is inconsistent with Harvard?s values as stated in its policy on discrimination. (See Harvard?s policy on discrimination on page 292.) Although the University respects the right of undergraduates to choose to participate in ROTC, the University does not provide any financial or other direct support for the ROTC program at MIT.

Even though Harvard barely gives the Army the time of day.*


The University of Michigan, Columbia and Harvard are splitting a $50 million grant to study military suicides. Chicago Tribune. The University of Michigan apparently has on-campus ROTC. But it looks like Columbia?s ROTC students, like those who rub shoulders with the privileged elites at Harvard, have to go off-campus to other nearby universities to attend military science classes, due to the Ivy League?s holdover Vietnam War-era antipathy, with ?don?t ask, don?t tell? being the current excuse.


* I attended the this year?s ROTC commissioning at Harvard, having friends involved with the program. Harvard only recently began allowing formal ROTC ceremonies on campus. It take ROTC stipends, but sends the cadets to MIT for their military courses.

Whats trashed at Arlington National Cemetery

clipped by: brightlight4
clippers remarks: Left out in the rain to rot were crayon drawings by children who had lost a parent, photographs of soldiers with their babies, painted portraits and thank-you notes from grade-school kids to fallen soldiers they had never known. Colors of artworks ran together. Photos were blurred and wilted. Poems and letters were illegible wads of wet paper. A worker in a brown uniform wandered among the graves, blasting the headstones with a power washer without regard to what was left of the mementos -- or the obviously uncomfortable mourners looking on. Some items got further soaked. The worker blasted others across the grass. Many of them would end up in a black trash bin in the cemeterys service area.

Arlingtons poor treatment of the mementos and gifts -- testaments to the personal cost of the post-9/11 wars in the Middle East -- appeared to stand in contrast to practices at other cemeteries. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, which runs 130 cemeteries across the country, asks people

Whats trashed at Arlington National Cemetery


Many personal mementos of dead soldiers are being thrown out -- a stark contrast to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial


View a slide show of personal mementos thrown out at Arlington National Cemetery and those preserved at the Vietnam "wall."


July 17, 2009 | A few days after Memorial Day, I walked across the sprawling, plush lawn of Arlington National Cemetery. I headed toward Section 60, a remote area of the famous burial ground, where 600 service members from Iraq and Afghanistan are laid to rest. Gina Gray, former public affairs officer at the cemetery, had testified that mismanagement at Arlington had resulted in callous treatment of personal mementos and artifacts left on grave sites in Section 60. The sun was out after several days of rain. As I approached the gravestones, I saw that Gray was right.

FBI Agent responds to Ayers rewrite of history

My name is Larry Grathwohl and I infiltrated the Weather Underground for the FBI.

I would see and experience the degree of violence and hatred of our democracy that existed in the Weather Underground.

the fact that Bill Ayers now claims their goal was only to bring about the end of the war in Vietnam requires me to respond.

Bill

further states that the selected targets were ?property, never people? and that their only purpose was to end the war in Vietnam. Bill is simply not being truthful and is rewriting history to reflect a completely different role for himself and the Weather Underground

The explosion of the townhouse in Greenwich Village was the result of a bomb factory which was preparing bombs containing roofing nails for use at a Fort Dix enlisted club. The inclusion of roofing nails can have but one purpose and that?s to injure or kill people.

Bill?s wife, Bernardine Dorhn, placed a bomb of the same design at the Park Police Station in San Francisco and killed Officer McDonnell

Medal of Honor Recipient, Ed Freeman, died last Wednesday at the age of 80, in Boise, ID. May God rest his soul.
Youre a 19-year old kid. Youre critically wounded, and dying in the jungle in the Ia Drang Valley. The date is November 14, 1965. Youre lying near LZ X-ray in Vietnam.



Your infantry unit is outnumbered 8 to 1, and the enemy fire is so intense from 100 or 200 yards away, that your own Infantry Commander has ordered the Medi-Vac helicopters to stop coming in.

Youre lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns, and you know youre not getting out. Your family is halfway around the world -- 12,000 miles away -- and youll never see them again. As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day.



Then, over the machine gun noise, you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter, and you look up to see an un-armed Huey, but it doesnt seem real, because no Medi-Vac markings are on it...



Ed Freeman is coming for you. Hes not Medi-Vac, so its not his job, but hes flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire, after the Medi-Vacs were ordered not to come. Hes coming anyway.

Dispute over flag protest erupts in Wisc. village


WAUSAU, Wis. ? An American flag flown upside down as a protest in a northern Wisconsin village was seized by police before a Fourth of July parade and the businessman who flew it ? an Iraq war veteran ? claims the officers trespassed and stole his property.


The American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin is considering legal action against the village of Crivitz for violating Vito Congine Jr.s First Amendment rights, Executive Director Chris Ahmuty said.


Village President John Deschane, 60, an Army veteran who served in Vietnam, said many people in town believe its disrespectful to fly the flag upside down.


"If he wants to protest, let him protest but find a different way to do it," Deschane said.

Britains defence policy is mired in deceit and denial

clipped by: ratilfar
Clip Source: www.guardian.co.uk

Bob Ainsworth is no Bob McNamara. But Britains defence secretary was worried enough about the unravelling in Afghanistan to make it the focus of a speech at Chatham House on Wednesday. There were compelling reasons to be in Afghanistan, Ainsworth said. The engagement went to "the heart of this countrys national security" and to "the core of our national interests". It was a "hard and dangerous" conflict in which more lives would be lost. But the US and its allies were a force for good. There was new military momentum. There was no defined date for the end of the campaign, but "we will win".


We have heard every bit of this before. It doesnt make it wrong, but almost everything that Ainsworth says about Afghanistan is an echo of what McNamara once said about Vietnam. There too the conflict was supposedly vital to the national strategic interest. There too there was always new momentum. There too there was nothing that could not be achieved by another infusion of fresh troops.

McNamara and the Liberals War

clipped by: clip-on-tie
Clip Source: online.wsj.com

He deserves better from his liberal critics, since his real misfortune was to be the architect of their failed visions.


Robert McNamara died on Monday at age 93 like he lived most of the latter half of his life, scorned and derided by his former liberal allies for refusing to turn against the Vietnam War as early as they did. As the New York Times put it in a page-one obituary headline, McNamara was the "Architect of Futile War."


In historical fact, Vietnam was the liberals war, begun by JFK, escalated by LBJ, and cheered on for years by giants of the American left before they turned against it. In his 1995 memoir, McNamara apologized for the war. But he probably sealed his reputation on the left by also quoting the New York Times and liberal antiwar reporter David Halberstam for having opposed U.S. withdrawal as late as 1965. "To be fair to Halberstam," McNamara wrote dryly, "the hawkish views he was expressing reflected the opinion of the majority of journalists at the time."

Robert S. McNamara Died This Morning. He was 93.

clipped by: clip-on-tie
Clip Source: www.wcbs880.com
WASHINGTON (AP)  -- Former Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara died Monday, according to his wife. He was 93.

Robert McNamara attends the funeral of Cyrus R. Vance

McNamara died at 5:30 a.m. at his home, his wife Diana told The Associated Press. She said he had been in failing health for some time.

For all his healing efforts, McNamara was fundamentally associated with the Vietnam War, ``McNamaras war, the countrys most disastrous foreign venture, the only American war to end in abject withdrawal rather than victory.

Known as a policymaker with a fixation for statistical analysis, McNamara was recruited to run the Pentagon by President John F. Kennedy in 1961 from the presidency of the Ford Motor Co. He stayed seven years, longer than anyone since the jobs creation in 1947.

His association with Vietnam became intensely personal. Even his son, as a Stanford University student, protested against the war while his father was running it. At Harvard, McNamara once had to flee a student mob through underground utility tunnels.

The famous snake wine

The-famous-snake-wine-1


Snake wine is an alcoholic beverage that includes a whole venomous snake in the bottle. It originated in Vietnam and can be found around Southeast Asia . The snakes, preferably venomous ones, are usually not preserved for their meat. They are preserved to have the snake poison dissolved in the liquor.

The wine is drunk as a restorative in small shots or cups
Body fluids of snake are mixed into wine and consumed immediately in the form of a shot. Snake blood wine is prepared by slicing a snake along its belly and draining its blood into a mixing vat with rice wine or grain alcohol. Snake bile wine is done through a similar method by using the contents of the gall bladder. Snake meat, liver, and skin can be prepared to accompany the drinks
