Troubled U.S. presence on Ecuador coast

Posted by Matt in February 6th, 2007

MANTA, Ecuador - The U.S. military‘s lone outpost in South America is a modest affair — some 220 Americans share space with a local air force wing and an international airport. They are allowed no more than eight planes at a time.

That matters little to newly inaugurated President Rafael Correa, whose rejection of a U.S. military presence in Ecuador reflects widespread resentment over Washington‘s foreign policy in a region where President Bush ‘s administration now has few reliable allies.

No matter that the planes intentionally avoid Ecuadorean airspace after takeoff, and that U.S. operations at Manta contribute some $7 million a year to the local economy.

United States Military
This is one of many slideshows / videos I have made supporting the U.S. Military. I am enlisted in the Marine Corps and go to MCRD San Diego on July 13. Please show your support by watching my videos and feel fry to stop by my channel or toss me a subscriber, I promise I don't bite! My videos and time spent on them are dedicated to Jason L. Dunham. Although I never knew or met the young Marine, his actions uphold and show what the Marine Corps tradition truly is about. Born November 10, 1981 (The Marine Corps birthday) he jumped on an enemy grenade, covering it with his helmet and saving the lives of two other Marines in exchange for his own. He died eight days later on April 22, 2004 at the age of 22. He later received the highest medal of the United States Military, the Medal of Honor....

Depleted Uranium Hazard Awareness - US Army Training Video
From Information Clearinghouse: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article3581.htm The training materials were intended to instruct servicemen and women about the use and hazards of depleted uranium munitions. In addition, the training regimen included instructions for soldiers who repair and recover vehicles contaminated by depleted uranium. Throughout 1996, these videos sat on a shelf, while U.S. soldiers continued to use and work with depleted uranium munitions. In June 1997, Bernard Rostker, The Department of Defense (DoD) principle spokesperson for their investigation of Gulf War hazardous exposures, stated that the depleted uranium safety training program would begin to be shared by a limited number of servicemen and women in July 1997. STILL TODAY the vast majority of...

For a breakdown of the actual battles portrayed in the film, visit: http://www.touristpictures.com/foodfight/index.htm For the official cheat sheet (breakdown of the foodstuffs), visit: http://www.touristpictures.com/foodfight/cheat.htm Now, to answer some FAQs... - The food in this film was consumed either by myself or my dog after shooting. None of the cast went to waste. - The software used was photoshop and after effects. - The film took me 3 months to do. - Although it seems like stop motion, most of it was stop motion created within After effects, using keyframe animation. I am basically moving the food around within the the program, frame by frame,...
