True Story: Soldiers making a difference

Balata Camp, Occupied Territory

 
Cover-up of the Attack on the USS Liberty Finally Exposed
A new report released on Capitol Hill today by former officials from the highest level of the American military and government reveals that Israel "committed acts of murder against American serviceman and an act of war against the United States" when it deliberately attacked the American Navy Ship USS Liberty in 1967,

Commentary
Time for Straight Talk
Recent polls reveal that 70 percent of Americans honestly believe that Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11 – a powerful testimony to Karl Rove and the neoconservative propaganda machine.

Commentary
Try a Little Old-Fashioned Shoe Leather
Fort Stewart, Ga. – home of the U.S. Army’s mighty 3rd Mech “Marne” Division – got eaten alive by the press last week.

Commentary
Medal-gate
Recently in Iraq, an Army two-star general put himself in for the Silver Star, a gallantry award, for just being there, and for the Combat Infantryman Badge, an award designed for infantry grunts far below the rank of this division commander.

Commentary
The Few, the Proud the Under-rewarded
“For heroic achievement ... Lance Corporal (Billy W.) Peixotto exhibited exceptional bravery after intense small-arms fire from an enemy ambush resulted in his tank catching fire.

Commentary
Have Vest, Will Loan
My British-made bulletproof Tetranike vest served me well in the badlands of ex-Yugoslavia, Somalia and Latin America back in my days as a war correspondent – that is, before darling wife Eilhys changed the drill.

Commentary
The Return of Capt. Queeg

Tom, who posted copies of the articles on all of the barracks’ bulletin boards, reports that “The articles were well received by many of our soldiers. But the leadership had a different opinion.”

Using Private Lynch
This was probably the first incident in U.S. military history in which an American soldier was awarded our country’s fourth-highest ground-fighting award for being conked out and off the air throughout a fight.

Rangers Caught in the PC Crossfire
Rangers have always been my favorite soldiers. My admiration for them probably started at age 10 when I watched Spencer Tracy in the movie Northwest Passage –  or perhaps it was the daring deeds

Unrequited Grief: The Latent  Emotional Consequences of War
So far – except for an early, unprogrammed slam at Saddam Hussein when embedded U.S. spooks pinpointed the Butcher and his key brutes hunkering down in a Baghdad bunker – Operation Iraqi Freedom is proceeding on plan.

Commentary
Who Cares?
But doesn't our news media have a moral responsibility to inform the public about potentially serious disasters just a sand dune away?

Commentary
Rumsfeld & The Liar's Club
Did Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld misspeak last month when he said that the Pentagon could duke it out simultaneously with both North Korea and Iraq? Or did he join the SecDef Liar's Club?

The Loneliness is the Hardest
My husband and I have been married for 12 years and have 2 wonderful children. Like many of you I have often dealt with the same issues.

Avoiding the 'Blame Game'
Think about it. When you continue to blame, you avoid having to forgive. A powerful defense mechanism, blaming amounts to finding a target for your anger and frustration.

Commentary
The Bigger Threat: Osama or Saddam?
As each day passes, more and more U.S. bombs blast Iraq. And now Pentagon planners are reinforcing this undeclared war with a mighty sea and ground fist that might soon do unto Iraq what Ike Eisenhower did onto Nazi Germany.

Protecting our Home First
Russia and America both possess massive armed forces and enough nuclear-tipped missiles to destroy planet Earth 10 times over. Yet last week their capital cities were both paralyzed by an absurdly small number of madmen. In Washington, D.C., it was two wackos with a rifle; in Moscow, a platoon of AK-47-toting kamikazes wired with bombs.

Commentary
The Hidden Casualties of War
What are our troops really facing?
With war seeming inevitable and most American's feeling powerless to stop it, are we really willing to sacrifice 28% of our Armed forces just to prove a point? 

Escaping Fort Brag Husband's Rage
If I try to leave the house to escape his angry outbursts, he will block the doors with his body and dare me to make a move.  Other times, I have become so frightened, that I am on the ground shaking and crying uncontrollable.  After being forced to listen to his tirades for hours, I am unable to go to work because I can’t stop shaking or crying. 

Is the Grass Greener?
Do you feel like you're missing out? Are you jealous? These feelings are normal, but you need to keep them from throwing your own relationship into a downward spiral. Here are 10 ways to start appreciating your own partner:

A Military Wife's Experience
I think it is nearly impossible (I did say *nearly*) for long distance relationships to remain blissful over the long term. By long term I mean two or more years being apart with less than two weeks being physically together each year. Intimate relationships thrive on touch, feel, sight and smell.

The Military Wife a Poem
The military wife is a special individual. When she was a girl, her dreams were bold, as bold as her fine, free gaze; And every gift of grace and mind was hers in her younger days. When she was a girl, a golden girl, with a soul as fine as fire.

DEFENDING AMERICA
Our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines defend America. They protect our freedom. Secondly, almost 20 cents of every tax dollar goes to defense. Because of duplication, redundancy, abuse and bureaucratic blubber, almost half of that is wasted.

How to Get Close When You Are Far Apart
In this age of Internet chat rooms, easy international travel and jobs
that take us thousands of miles away from home, long distance romances are more prevalent than ever.

E-mail Symbols: The dictionary

The Manual of Life: The Ultimate Gift
If you've have children in college, going to college, getting married or expecting, this might be the perfect gift.  It's one that will show how much you love them and let them know you'll always be there.  Best of all, it can be done for free or for less than $20.
