Clipmarks | Vietnam Clips"When I Served in Vietnam..." Candidate Lied.clipped by: citizenbfkclippers remarks: Hypocrisy is disgusting; using it to get ahead makes it worse. AG Blumenthal is running for Senate. He specificallyh mentions, implies, or lets lies be printed about his serving in Vietnam." But after getting 5 deferments he finally dodge to avoid the war was to enlist in the Reserves. At that time, the National Guard and Reserves was a way of avoiding being sent overseas. Blumenthals Reserve unit?s members did projects like refurbishing tent decks and showers at a campground for underprivileged Washington children, as well as collecting and distributing toys and games as part of regular Toys for Tots drives. George Bush also avoided the Vietnam War by joining the Reserves. Dick Cheney avoided the war by getting several deferments. I can understand someone thinking getting a deferment was better than going off on another USA military invasion, another war started with lies -- but then to walk around like John Wayne and support more wars -- its sick. Folks sure Attorney General Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut is running for a seat in the Senate. ?We have learned something important since the days that I served in Vietnam,? Mr. Blumenthal said to the group gathered in Norwalk in March 2008. ?And you exemplify it. Whatever we think about the war, whatever we call it ? Afghanistan or Iraq ? we owe our military men and women unconditional support.? There was one problem: Mr. Blumenthal, a Democrat now running for the United States Senate, never served in Vietnam. He obtained at least five military deferments from 1965 to 1970 and took repeated steps that enabled him to avoid going to war, according to records.  The crazy things some people will say to get elected...clipped by: egoldsteinclippers remarks: According to sources, Mr. Blumenthal was using a pre-historic definition of "served in" that means "avoided going to" ?We have learned something important since the days that I served in Vietnam,? Mr. Blumenthal said to the group gathered in Norwalk in March 2008. There was one problem: Mr. Blumenthal, a Democrat now running for the United States Senate, never served in Vietnam. He obtained at least five military deferments from 1965 to 1970 and took repeated steps that enabled him to avoid going to war, according to records. In an interview on Monday, the attorney general said that he had misspoken about his service during the Norwalk event and might have misspoken on other occasions. ?My intention has always been to be completely clear and accurate and straightforward, out of respect to the veterans who served in Vietnam,? he said. Richard Blumenthal (D), U.S. Senate Candidate From Connecticut, Misstated Service Recordclipped by: Steve Savage Attorney General Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut is running for a seat in the Senate. There was one problem: Mr. Blumenthal, a Democrat now running for the United States Senate, never served in Vietnam. He obtained at least five military deferments from 1965 to 1970 and took repeated steps that enabled him to avoid going to war, according to records. The deferments allowed Mr. Blumenthal to complete his studies at Harvard; pursue a graduate fellowship in England; serve as a special assistant to The Washington Post?s publisher, Katharine Graham; and ultimately take a job in the Nixon White House. In 1970, with his last deferment in jeopardy, he landed a coveted spot in the Marine Reserve, which virtually guaranteed that he would not be sent to Vietnam. He joined a unit in Washington that conducted drills and other exercises and focused on local projects, like fixing a campground and organizing a Toys for Tots drive.

Thirty years ago autopsies of young soldiers killed in the Vietnam war revealed that their blood arteries were lined inside with thick fatty plaques known as atheroma. Today our young recruits are so fat they cant even pass the physical examination. Is this becoming a national security issue? In Mississipi, Childhood Obesity Hurts Military RecruitingSabrosky Interview Ties Israel to 9/11clipped by: thisnamecantbetakenclippers remarks: "What we need to stand up and say is not only did they attack the USS Liberty, they did 9/11. They did it. I have had long conversations over the past two weeks with contacts at the Army War College, at its headquarters, Marine Corps and I made it absolutely clear in both cases that it is 100 percent certain that 9/11 was a Mossad operation. Period." - Dr. Alan Sabrosky, March 14, 2010  DR ALAN SABROSKY, FORMER DIRECTOR OF STUDIES AT THE US ARMY WAR COLLEGE ?ISRAEL DID IT? He contents that AIPAC exercises near total control over the electoral process in America through the ability to outspend any other group and destroy anyone who stands against them. it would have been impossible to stage 9/11 without the full resources of both the CIA and Mossad Americans have been looking away from these glaring realities the way they looked away from Vietnam. Sabrosky leaves Israel and her American Jewish supporters who he sees as traitors with a warning: If these Americans and those like them ever fully understand just how much of their suffering ? and the suffering we have inflicted on others ? is properly laid on the doorsteps of Israel and its advocates in America, they will sweep aside those in politics, the press and the pulpits alike whose lies and disloyalty brought this about and concealed it from them. VIEW COMPLETE VIDEO  An Overdue Welcome Homeclipped by: debbyskiIt?s no longer widely understood ? now that war is kept largely out of sight and out of mind ? just how dreadful warfare is, and the profound effect it has on the participants and their loved ones. The documentary (to be shown at various times on several public television outlets) and an accompanying book are meant as tributes to those who served in Vietnam. But for viewers and readers, they should also resonate as a commentary on the awful reality of all wars, including today?s conflicts, which are taking a terrible toll but are touching just a small percentage of American families. If more Americans understood the real horror of war, and if more families were in danger of being touched by it, we?d see a dramatic falloff in our willingness to go to war.

The press, the development community, and many others are ready to pounce...just listen to the tone of the opener in this piece, its not uncommon. Oh, the irony...Steve will need to hop on his G4 to chase down this 4G prototype. This is just silly now. Another iPhone has leaked onto the Internet. What kind of ship does Steve Jobs run over there at Apple? This time around they aren?t going to be able to bust down the owner/seller/stealer?s door seeing as it all went down in Vietnam. Then again, anything is possible with the Apple gestapo. But somehow a Vietnamese website got a hold of the device. The back story really doesn?t matter right now. They got and posted pics and video ? good for them. The site went a bit farther than Gizmodo, though. They actually tore it apart, revealing a nice little surprise.  Karzai Gets The D.C.

Clipmarks | Vietnam ClipsKent State Firing Order Heard on 1970 Tapeclipped by: wiccantexanA new analysis of a 40-year-old audio recording reveals that someone ordered National Guard troops to prepare to fire on students during a deadly Vietnam War protest at Kent State University in 1970, two forensics experts said. The recording was enhanced and evaluated by New Jersey-based audio experts Stuart Allen and Tom Owen at the request of The Plain Dealer newspaper. Both concluded that they hear someone shout, "Guard!" Seconds later, a voice yells, "All right, prepare to fire!" "Get down!" someone shouts, presumably in the crowd. A voice then says, "Guard!..." followed two seconds later by a booming volley of gunshots. The original reel-to-reel audio recording was made by Terry Strubbe, a student who placed a microphone in a window sill of his dormitory that overlooked the anti-war rally. Without a voice sample for comparison, the new analysis cant determine who might have issued such a command or why. Canadian Elite Forces: Heroes Put in the Cross-Hairsclipped by: merrieclippers remarks: An elite unit of snipers went from standouts to outcasts -- victims, many say, of a witch hunt driven by jealousy and fear By that point, Rob Furlong, Tim McMeekin and three other Canadian sharpshooters -- Graham Ragsdale, Arron Perry and Dennis Eason -- had spent nearly a week in the rugged terrain of Afghanistans Shahikot Valley, reaching out and touching the enemy from distances even they had never trained for. But that shot was something special. Rob Furlong had just killed another human being from 2,430 m. It was -- and still is -- the longest-ever recorded kill by a sniper in combat, surpassing the mark of 2,250 m set by U.S. Marine Gunnery Sgt. Carlos Hathcock during the Vietnam War. It should have been a moment of pride for the Canadian army. Five of its most talented snipers -- men trained to kill without remorse, then turn around and kill again -- did exactly that. They destroyed al-Qaeda firing positions, saved American lives and tallied a body count .... Sniper: Inside the Crosshair - Robert Furlong 2.5KM Sniper Kill Shot in Afghanistan. [Video] January 11, 2010 ? Last part of excellent documentary by History (HD) channel of the dynamics and story of important snipers in recent history.

On May 4, 1970, National Guard soldiers fired into a group of Kent State University students protesting against the Vietnam War. Four of the youths ? Allison Krause, Jeffery Miller, Sandra Scheuer and William Schroeder ? were shot dead and nine wounded. The massacre, deemed "unnecessary, unwarranted and inexcusable" by President Richard Nixons Commission on Campus Unrest, triggered student strikes that forced hundred of colleges and universities to close nationwide.

 The large mammal is elusive and is the least studied of the rhinos. They can live 30-40 years and are solitary except for mating and parenting. Two very small populations live in Java in the Ujung Kulon National Park, and in Vietnam?s Cat Tien Park. Javans used to have the largest population of the rhinos, living in Indonesia, China, Southeast Asia and India. But the it has been driven right to the brink of extinction mainly due to poaching. The horn is in great demand for traditional chinese medicine, and one kilogram can bring $30,000. Apparently it is believed the horn when ground up can be used to ?cure? a wide range of things, some of which are not medical conditions: ?To expel fear and anxiety, to calm the liver and clear the vision.? Population: Less than 60 Heroes of New Yorkclipped by: Antaraclippers remarks: "And now we have Lance Horton and Duane Jackson. They were alert and suspicious of what is an every day occurrence in New York?an illegally parked car with its blinkers on. And they were right." Regardless of who is responsible for the now-defused terrorist bomb in New York City?s busy Times Square (and Pakistan?s branch of the Taliban, is now claiming responsibility), we know who is responsible for discovering the bomb in time and alerting authorities: Lance Horton, a Vietnam Veteran and vendor in the area. He and fellow Vietnam Vet, Duane Jackson, flagged down New York Police officer, Wayne Rhatigan, who took him seriously.   Lance Horton, Duane Jackson: Observant Vietnam Vets Discovered Times Square Bomb [Video] These alert Americans, Horton and Jackson, who served their country in one war and now in another are the reasons the bomb did not detonate, whether or not it would have done great damage (a matter now being debated) or is a diversion from a far worse future attack. Make no mistake, they likely saved hundreds, or even thousands, of American lives. And they were right. Three cheers for Messrs. Horton and Jackson for sticking their necks out.
