Return of the Draft
Thursday, March 03 @ 12:34:15 CST by myoung (43 reads) | | Draft:
With the army desperate for recruits, should college students be packing their bags for Canada?
By TIM DICKINSON / Rolling Stone Mag
Uncle Sam wants you. He needs you. He'll bribe you to sign up. He'll strong-arm you to re-enlist. And if that's not enough, he's got a plan to draft you.
In the three decades since the Vietnam War, the "all-volunteer Army" has become a bedrock principle of the American military. "It's a magnificent force," Vice President Dick Cheney declared during the election campaign last fall, "because those serving are ones who signed up to serve." .........

Ray McGovern served as a CIA analyst for 27 years - from the administration of John F Kennedy to that of George H W Bush. During the early 1980s, he was one of the writers/editors of the President's Daily Brief and briefed it one-on-one to the president's most senior advisers. He also chaired National Intelligence Estimates. In January 2003, he and four former colleagues founded Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity

The Bush administration policy toward the Middle East is being run by men - yes, only men - who were routinely referred to in high circles in Washington during the 1980s as the "crazies". I can attest to that personally, but one need not take my word for it...........

SCOTT RITTER: Bush OK's War Front: Attack Iran in June
Monday, February 21 @ 11:42:53 CST by myoung (85 reads) | | SCOTT RITTER: Bush OK's to Widen War in a June Iran Attack
By Mark Jensen
UPPC (Washington State)
Scott Ritter, appearing with journalist Dahr Jamail yesterday in Washington State, dropped two shocking bombshells in a talk delivered to a packed house in Olympia’s Capitol Theater. The ex-Marine turned UNSCOM weapons inspector said that George W. Bush has "signed off" on plans to bomb Iran in June 2005, and claimed the U.S. manipulated the results of the recent Jan. 30 elections in Iraq. ................

Secret Talks with the Enemy
Sunday, February 20 @ 23:02:53 CST by myoung (55 reads) | | Talking with the Enemy
Secret dialogue between the U.S. and insurgents in Iraq—and what the rebels say they want
By MICHAEL WARE / Time Magazine
The secret meeting is taking place in the bowels of a facility in Baghdad, a cavernous, heavily guarded building in the U.S.-controlled green zone. The Iraqi negotiator, a middle-aged former member of Saddam Hussein's regime and the senior representative of the self-described nationalist insurgency, sits on one side of the table.
He is here to talk to two members of the U.S. military. One of them, an officer, takes notes during the meeting. The other, dressed in civilian clothes, listens as the Iraqi outlines a list of demands the U.S. must satisfy before the insurgents stop fighting.

Do Not Charge This Marine: Premeditated Murder in the Heat of War?
Sunday, February 20 @ 22:48:07 CST by myoung (21 reads) | | Do Not Charge This Marine
By Jim Simpson
The strong stench of PC has been wafting ominously through the halls of Camp Lejeune, N.C., this week. It threatens to undermine the American military’s last unchallenged sanctuary of the Warrior Ethos, the U.S. Marine Corps.
A Marine 2nd lieutenant is facing potential charges of premeditated murder for shooting two terrorists in Iraq last April. Second Lt. Ilario G. Pantano, a married father of two who had served in the Marines during the 1991 Gulf War, gave up a $100,000 civilian salary and ........

We’ve Danced This Dance Before

By David H. Hackworth
As with Vietnam, the Iraqi tar pit was oh-so-easy to sink into, but appears to be just as tough to exit.
This should be no big surprise! Most slugfests – from bar brawls to military misadventures like Vietnam and Iraq – take some clever moves to step away from once the swinging starts.
This is why most combat vets pick their fights carefully. They look at their scars, remember the madness and are always mindful of the fallout.
That’s not the case in Washington, where the White House and the Pentagon are run by civilians

Covert PsyWar Underway against Iran
Friday, February 18 @ 10:04:50 CST by myoung (33 reads) |
By B Raman
AsiaTime.com
To any intelligence analyst, it should be obvious that the United States has already embarked on a psychological warfare (psywar) campaign to keep Iran on tenterhooks in the hope of thereby breaking its will to resist US pressure to agree to the dismantling of its uranium enrichment capability.
It is in this context that one has to view the rhetoric of "no option excluded" coming at regular intervals from President George W Bush, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and other US leaders, orchestrated leaks to the media .......

Pentagon prepares to build US 1.4 Billion for robot army

The robot is controlled by a soldier from a distance of up to 1,000 yards.
"We were sitting there firing single rounds and smacking bull's-eyes," said Staff Sergeant Santiago Tordillos, who helped to design and test the robot. "We were completely amazed.''..........

Overheard Conversations Of Marines Reveal Reality of Troops Lives
Friday, February 11 @ 17:43:38 CST by myoung (71 reads) | | Overheard conversations convey reality of troops' lives
By Tony Perry
Los Angeles Times
RAMADI, Iraq — Poets tell us that unheard melodies are the sweetest. I can't confirm that. As the Marines might say, I have no "situational awareness" of unheard melodies.
But I have a good deal of knowledge about overheard conversations. A reporter embedded with troops is surrounded by conversations not of his making, and they often carry a raw reality about the war in Iraq that is unavailable anywhere else.
Like the two Marines sitting .....

Britain is Used by CIA's Secret Torture Flights
Thursday, February 10 @ 06:41:03 CST by myoung (12 reads) | | Britain accused over CIA's secret torture flights
UK airports are believed to be operational bases for two executive jets used by the CIA to carry out 'renditions' of terror suspects.
by Stephen Grey and Andrew Buncombe
London Independent
Britain's intelligence agencies have been accused of helping America in a secret operation that is sending terror suspects to Middle Eastern countries where prisoners are routinely tortured and abused.
Since 11 September 2001, the CIA has been systematically seizing suspects and sending them, without legal process, not only to Guantanamo Bay but to .........

Army Invoices 129 Wounded Soldiers for Medical Expenses
Wednesday, February 09 @ 11:57:34 CST by myoung (13 reads) | | WASHINGTON - The Army has identified 129 wounded soldiers who mistakenly received bills for expenses upon returning home from wars - in some cases instead of final paychecks - and it has forgiven their debts.
After learning of the first such cases, Army Gen. Richard A. Cody said, an audit team determined that other wounded soldiers "experienced pay issues" ..........

From Iowa Town to Marine Corps Legend
Tuesday, February 08 @ 22:43:33 CST by myoung (30 reads) | | From Iowa Town to Marine Corps Legend
“An Iraqi pointed an AK-47 at me and I moved back. He fired and missed. I shot and killed him. I put my barrel up against his chest and pulled the trigger over and over until he went down. Then I looked around the wall and put two into his forehead to make sure he was dead.”
By Nathaniel R. Helms
U.S. Marine Corps First Sergeant Brad Kasal is an American hero. His story is a remarkable tale of bravery, sacrifice and savagery that adds another page to the great book of American military lore.
Still holding his 9mm Beretta, a seriously injured First Sgt. Brad Kasal is helped
from a Fallujah house on Nov. 13, 2004, after killing several Iraqi insurgents and
with his own body shielding a fellow Marine from a grenade blast.
During his three tours of duty in Iraq and Kuwait, Kasal has been wounded multiple times, including being shot seven times,

Beheadings Bad for Retention Rates: Generals Decide
Saturday, February 05 @ 00:29:37 CST by myoung (25 reads) | | Generals Calmly Discuss the Effect Beheadings have on Retention Rates
These items struck me because after almost two full years in Iraq, we actually have generals calmly discussing the effect beheadings have on retention rates. You'd think this might be somewhat discouraging, but Petraeus says confidently that they've "turned the corner on that." Maybe he feels retention might improve when the Iraqi recruits are shot instead of beheaded?

Nickle-and-Diming the Troops (Combat Pay $7.50 Per Day)
Wednesday, February 02 @ 19:36:23 CST by myoung (45 reads) | | Nickle-and-Diming the Troops
By Col. David H. Hackworth
Maybe you better sit down and pop a Xanax before reading any further, because what I’m about to tell you should seriously short you out: not only is the average soldier’s salary barely life-sustaining, the combat pay of the average grunt in Afghanistan and Iraq is only $7.50 a day or a measly $225 a month. And to make matters worse, .......
