The “Redheaded Stepchild”

Posted by Matt in January 3rd, 2008

Neglect of USAF
“The Air Force effectively [is] the redheaded stepchild [in the budget], just like the Navy is, in the Pentagon. They’re just being completely constricted in their capabilities in order [to permit DOD officials] to deal with what you have to do for [Army and Marine Corps] ground forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. … How long are we going to do this?…

“When it comes to money for the Pentagon, we’ve got to replace everything with a wheel and a wing on it that currently is in theater. What’s that going to cost us? Eight hundred billion? A trillion dollars? … We’ve got a military that’s at war and a country that’s not at war. We don’t have an industrial base that’s at war, either.”

The Bases Are Loaded: US Permanent Military Presence in Iraq
Will the U.S. ever leave Iraq? Official policy promises an eventual departure, while warning of the dire consequences of a "premature" withdrawal. But while Washington equivocates, facts on the ground tell another story. Independent journalist Dahr Jamail, and author Chalmers Johnson, are discovering that military bases in Iraq are being consolidated from over a hundred to a handful of "megabases" with lavish amenities. Much of what is taking place is obscured by denials and quibbles over the definition of "permanent." The Bases Are Loaded covers a wide range of topics. Gary Hart, James Goldsborough, Nadia Keilani, Raed Jarrar, Bruce Finley Kam Zarrabi and Mark Rudd all add their observations about the extent and purpose of the bases in Iraq. Alternate Focus is available on the Dish...

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...

US MILITARY BUILDUP ON IRAN BORDER!! WAR BEFORE BUSH LEAVES
THIS VIDEO SHOWS VERY IMPORTANT NEWS THAT ARE OVER SHADOWED DUE TO MEDIA FRENZY OVER OBAMA,SPITZER,DUPRE,HILLARYS LIES, MARCH MADNESS AND HOLLYWOOD GOSSIPS. SINCE I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION. PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE TO WATCH AND SEE WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD (MODERN DAY HOLOCAUST IN EUROPE) :-) THIS VIDEO IS ANIMATED AND BASED ON ACTUAL EVENTS CURRENTLY GOING ON IN THE HEART OF EUROPE. I believe that US residents should watch to see more important news RATHER than "how much money Dupre will make due to her hooking around." Nazi style events are going on around the world (in the 21st century) but CNN and FOX would rather broadcast hookers OR when linsay lohan will return to rehab. thanks for watching and please spead this word/video around your work place. FEW OF MANY NEWS ARTICLES AROUND...

A USA Military History (Tchaikovsky 1812 Overture)
The United States has had to defend itself and help its neighbors for 230 years, I figured the 1812 would be a quick way to cover most of it up to this year.(NOTE- this video is best viewed on the smallest setting,located bottom right of viewer). If you know your history well then the photo montage will appeal much more.
