| Old Soldiers by David Weber | | 2008-07-24 20:58:00 | | Weber’s talent seems to be to evoke emotions. I find myself deeply involved with his characters and caring about what happens to them. He apparently has had some strong women in his life because a majority of his protagonists are tough as nails but yet highly feminine. Bolos are land battleships. They are so far beyond tanks that battleship fits better. This story is primarily a relationship story between the Ai in a Bolo and his commander. The setting for a story is a genocide war between mankind and aliens. The aliens are almost a sidebar for the relationship aspects. My perchance for anthropomorphism has been mentioned often, the Bolo Ai highlights that affectation. This is a stand alone story although there are other Bolo stories by other authors. Weber’s work is normally stellar, this book is no exception.

| 'He won many battles, his childhood friends became famous soldiers' | | 2008-07-17 14:23:54 | | If you're a science fiction fan like me then you've probably seen your fair share of the SCI FI Channel. I think I can even say without fear of marital retribution that the SCI FI Channel is hands down better than the Food Channel. One of the great things about the channel is that they fund their own "Original Movie" productions. And the movies they produce are great. Take the case of "Grendel", which debuted about ten months before Robert Zemeckis' Beowulf hit theaters. It was the exact right product at the exact right time.I'm so enamored of their productions that I wanted to find out what kind of people actually work for the SCI FI Channel. As luck would have it I was able to get in contact with Ron Fernandez, the screenwriter for "Grendel". Ron also wrote Rock Monster for the channel. Here's how Ron broke into the business:

| Helping Women Soldiers Traumatized by Sexual Assault | | 2008-06-24 08:21:00 | | By Sally ChewIn the past few years there has been a lot of attention paid to the problem of sexual assault in the U.S. military. Congressional hearings, military panels, and nonprofit organizations have looked at how to lower the incidence of assault, help women feel safe reporting it, and allow them to recover from the Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that often follows it.A new report from Australia recommends prolonged exposure therapy for preventing PTSD. The treatment involves reliving the traumatic experience with a therapist in order to face your fears and learn coping skills. Last year a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) recommended the therapy specifically to treat women vets with PTSD—a condition they are more likely to report suffering from than men.

| Soldiers, Umpires And Other Job's Everyone Should Do Pt.2 | | 2008-06-12 11:48:00 | | After having considered the musings that Jim had provided about umpires and referees, I began to ponder the various applications that such a theory could spawn. While excellent judgement and discernment could be developed from Jim's ideal, what about many other traits that today's youth will be in dire need of in the future?Remember, they are supposed to BE our future. God help us.Of course having been an active duty Marine at one time, as well as a combat veteran, the obvious thought of military service came to mind. I volunteered, as it should ALWAYS be. Don't take this as a call that every one should be forced to serve. I don't believe that at all. A draft in dire need, such as defending America itself here at home? Perhaps. But not in uncrucial times. And we are not in crucial times to require one now.What I pondered was more in the neighborhood of a VOLUNTARY 30 month tour of duty for graduates right after high school.

A truck ferrying troops of the SPLA overturned on May 28 around 2 p.m., injuring about a dozen soldiers with two of them being stuck under the vehicle and bleeding profusely.The 2 NAGA Infantry Battalion troops deployed at Bor in southern Sudan immediately rushed to the site to extricate the SPLA troops and provide medical aid.The immediate response to the humanitarian need by the Indian soldiers helped save lives of SPLA soldiers who would have otherwise bled to death.The assistance rendered by the Indian troops was widely appreciated and the Sudanese Governor expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the immediate and decisive life saving assistance.The incident highlights the fine balance the Indian troops maintain in UN missions between professionalism and humanitarian effort beyond the accepted mandate.The Army contingent co | | By: Tingplik Express | | |

Tania Zaetta (above) was named in a confidential briefing paper to Australia’s Defence Minister as having slept with special forces soldiers last month at a military base in Tarin Kowt, the capital of Oruzgan province. Pictures and a video were said to have been taken. But Australia’s military was in retreat last night, admitting that it broke its privacy regulations by naming the actress, 37, in the confidential note intended for Joel Fitzgibbon, the Defence Minister.The Defence Department apologised to Zaetta for the leak, and Mr Fitzgibbon said he had ordered an inquiry into how the document officially referred to as a “hot issues brief” became public.Zaetta, who has appeared on Baywatch and Mission Implausible, a British pay-TV show, denied the allegations and said | | By: Bollywood Actress GAllery | | |

The base itself has no crematorium for the arriving dead, and so contracted with a local pet cemetery.The practice came to an end May 9 after photos of the site taken by an Army officer worked their way up to Secretary of defense Robert Gates. The officer had been there to attend the services of a fallen comrade and was appalled to see the crematorium labeled "Friemds Forever Pet Cremation Service."Atom

| News: "Green card soldiers": Die in Iraq, US citizenship guaranteed. | | 2008-03-31 13:58:30 | | A young, ambitious immigrant from Guatemala who dreamed of becoming an architect. A Nigerian medic. A soldier from China who boasted he would one day become an American general. An Indian Sikh native. What do they have in common?They are among more than 100 foreign-born members of the U.S. military who earned American citizenship post-mortem, by dying in the Iraq war.Immigrants have always fought — and died — in America's wars. There are tens of thousands of foreign-born members in the US armed forces. Many have been naturalized, but more than 20,000 are not US citizens.Early in the Iraq war, Bush signed an executive order making the "Green card soldiers", as they are often called, eligible to apply for citizenship as soon as they enlist. Previously, legal residents in the military had to wait three years.Since Bush's order, nearly 37,000 soldiers have been naturalized. And 109 who lost their lives have been granted posthumous citizenship.Immigrant advocates have mixed feelings abo | | By: The Road to the Horizon | | |

| News: US Soldiers Testify About War Crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq | | 2008-03-18 15:21:15 | | Dozens of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans publicly testified this weekend about crimes they committed during the course of battle, many of which were prompted by the orders or policies laid down by superior officers. The weekend gathering, called the Winter Soldier Event demonstrated that well-publicized incidents of U.S. brutality, including the Abu Ghraib prison scandal and the massacre of an entire family of Iraqis in the town of Haditha, are not isolated incidents perpetrated by "a few bad apples," as many politicians and military leaders have claimed. They are part of a pattern, the organizers said, of "an increasingly bloody occupation." One testimony:"Apr. 18, 2006 was the date of my first confirmed kill. He was innocent, I called him the fat man. He was walking back to his house and I killed him in front of his father and friend.

A council statement read at the end of a daylong meeting on children and armed conflict expressed "readiness to review the provisions of its resolutions on the issue" — but it made no mention of concrete and targeted measures against violators, nor of expanding the monitoring group's activities to compiling data on rape and sexual violence.You know, and THIS is what beats me.

| A Soldiers Goodbye | | 2008-02-15 00:00:00 | | For upon a battlefield so very far away,
a soldier goes out again to fight.
On this most hallowed ground he will die today,
gone shall be his eternal light.
One back home will cry in tears of horrid pain,
for she has lost her dearest joy.
He that lays dying amidst war`s cold rain,
her darling love,her soldier boy.
His heart it pleads to let her know,
his words he speaks to a close friend.
"Tell her that I loved her so,
and did until my very end".
Her heart will break this day for her mate,
for taken is her reason in life.
Robbed from her by the hands of fate,
her love taken from this soldier`s wife.
As she looks upon his grave all alone,
she says,"I miss you so bad" as she does cry.
She reads his name written up on his head stone,
and to her he echoes the final Goodbye..
never fear little fox...Its always seeya soon sweety;-)
No goodbye`s ever from your soldier,only seeya soons;-)

| Feb. 12 - Red Hand Day - No children as soldiers | | 2008-02-11 20:35:00 | | Red Hand Day is an annual commemoration day created to draw attention to the fate of children who are forced to serve as soldiers in wars and armed conflicts.Red Hand Day was initiated in 2002 when the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the Involvement of Children in Armed Conflict entered into force on February 12, 2002. This protocol was adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations in May 2000. It currently has signatures from 92 different states. Unfortunately, the number of child soldiers has hardly changed since then. There are still 250,000 children used in the wars of the adults.The Red Hand symbol, has been used all over the world by the Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers and many civil society organizations to say no to the recruitment and use of child soldiers. We encourage activities involving Red Hands to attract media attention, as well as the attention of decision makers and opinion leaders. Visit Red Hand Day Org

| Vietnam Zippos: American Soldiers' Engravings and Stories (1965-1973) | | 2007-12-27 17:08:13 | | We are the unwilling, led by the unqualified, doing the unnecessary for the ungrateful—from an engraving on a Vietnam-era Zippo lighter In 1965, journalist Morley Safer followed the United States Marines on a search and destroy mission into Cam Ne. When the Marines he accompanied reached the village, they ordered the civilians there to evacuate their homes—grass huts whose thatched roofs they set ablaze with Zippo lighters. Safer’s report on the event soon aired on CBS and was among the first to paint a harrowing portrait of the War in Vietnam. LBJ responded to the segment furiously, accusing Safer of having “shat on the American flag.” For the first time since World War II, American boys in uniform had been portrayed as murderers instead of liberators. Our perception of the war—and the Zippo lighter—would never be the same.But as this stunning book attests, the Zippo was far more than an instrument of death and destruction. For the American soldiers who wielded them, they were a vital form of social protest as well. Vietnam Zippos showcases the engravings made by U.S. soldiers on their lighters during the height of the conflict, from 1965 to 1973. In a real-life version of the psychedelic war portrayed in Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now, Sherry Buchanan tells the fascinating story of how the humble Zippo became a talisman and companion for American GIs during their tours of duty. Through a dazzling array of images, we see how Zippo lighters were used during the war, and we discover how they served as a canvas for both personal and political expression during the Age of Aquarius, engraved with etchings of peace signs and marijuana leaves and slogans steeped in all the rock lyrics, sound bites, combat slang, and antiwar mottos of the time.Death from Above.

| Why Are Iraqi Soldiers Now "Missing" in U.S.? | | 2007-12-06 14:29:44 | | Our government often creates some of our nation's biggest headaches including where the critical issue of national security is concerned. We have all read accounts of the "Zetas", heavily armed paramilitary soldiers who are employed by the Mexican drug trafficking organizations who had been trained by our own military and DEA officials. They had been armed and trained by our government with the hope that they would assist our nation in combating drug and alien smuggling along the incredibly dangerous...(read more) | | By: An American Warning | | |

He also said that his conscience will bother him if civilians got hurt during the standoff. “What we did here is our obligation to the people,” he said.

| 97 Turkish Soldiers Killed by PKK to date in 2007 | | 2007-10-11 01:57:00 | | To honor all Turkish soldiers killed during this decades old war, especially the 97 who died in 2007 alone, and most especially for the 15 soldiers killed last week, along with the 12 civilians who were also slaughtered by PKK degenerates.. I offer this: Bruce Springsteen's "Blood Brothers". A song which I interpret to be about a soldier who loses a dear friend in combat, and presses on in battle without him. | | By: Amerikan Turk | | |

Teenagers have a succinct, poignant expression sometimes. We can all benefit. Watch video “Do You Remember Me?”Women's Success History

| Elite IDF Soldiers Refuse Hevron Expulsion Orders | | 2007-08-07 02:25:00 | | Two officers and 10 soldiers were sentenced to 28 days in an army jail for refusing to participate in the expulsion of Jews from their homes in the former Hevron marketplace.The original group of 30 soldiers, all hesder yeshiva members of the elite Duchifat combat unit, balked when they were given their orders to replace Border Police officers during the expulsion. They told their commander before boarding an army bus bound for duty in Judea and Samaria that they would refuse to carry out the orders.In addition to their 28-day sentence in a military jail, the battalion commander, Col. Itai Virov, also demoted the soldiers from serving in a combat unit. The sentences are lighter than the active jail time called for by many left-wing politicians.

| Russia fails to bury its dead; Red Army soldiers stored in a garage | | 2007-07-16 23:20:54 | | It can be tough to fight for a just memory of the Red Army's fallen soldiers in Estonia, Poland and other countries when you cannot assure an appropriate burial for the soldiers in your own country. In Russia's western-most region of Kaliningrad 45 bodies of Red Army soldiers are being stored in a garage of a volunteer digger for two years now, as the regional government continuously puts off their burial.As local web-portal Kalinirgrad.ru reports, the head of the digger group "Consciousness" Andrei Klimenko is one of many who are voluntarily searching for the millions of Soviet and German soldiers buried in the forests, rivers and lakes of Russia. According to Mr. Klimenko appropriate laws exist and even financing is plenty, but for some strange reason the local bureaucracy does not get its hands to the job.But even when they do, like on June 22 of this year (the anniversary of Nazi attack on the Soviet Union) they do it carelessly. On June 22, 95 Red Army soldiers were buried with all appropriate honors, yet according to Mr. Klimenko some of them were Italian soldiers found near Strelna; they were in Italian military uniforms who ended up being buried as Red Army soldiers. But complaining was useless.Recently nine bodies of Red Army soldiers were found by the diggers during a reconstruction of a theater in Kaliningrad; they were exhumed and buried appropriately, but the three bodies lying underneath a nearby statue of German poet Schiller were left alone. The diggers had no opportunity to identify them and feared that those bodies would follow the fate of the 45 bodies lying in Mr. Klimenko's garage, completely unwanted by local authorities. In the relatively small Kaliningrad region alone 150,000 soldiers fell, of those only 120,000 have been found.If a war is indeed not over until the last victim is buried, the war for Russia will spread out over decades. But time is running out; Russia's newer generation is not far from placing the Great Patriotic War into | | By: Russia\\\'s True Tales of Terra | | |

| Blogs for Soldiers don’t do Bad Things | | 2007-06-18 18:24:25 | | Coming on the heals of my post about Gen. Taguba’s Report and coming on the heals of years of Pentagon, Defense Department, and Bush Administrations lies, cover-ups and scandals, Mark Noonan argues with fabulous irony that we ought to trust the Multi-National Force Iraq news service because, well, the soldiers have been given orders not to lie.
The MSM has all too often been proven liars - meanwhile, the soldier-reporters assigned to MNF-I are under orders not to lie…and they’ll get in a lot more trouble if they do than, say, Dan Rather got with his “fake but accurate” news…MNF-I is just more worthy of our trust.

| Soldiers Struggle to Find Therapists | | 2007-06-10 21:20:34 | |
WASHINGTON (AP) - Soldiers returning from war are finding it more difficult to get mental health treatment because military insurance is cutting payments to therapists, on top of already low reimbursement rates and a tangle of red tape.
Wait lists now extend for months to see a military doctor and it can takes weeks to find a private therapist willing to take on members of the military. The challenge appears great in rural areas, where many National Guard and Reserve troops and their families live.
To avoid the hassles of Tricare, the military health insurance program, one frustrated therapist opted to provide an hour of therapy time a week to Iraq and Afghanistan veterans for free. Barbara Romberg, a clinical psychologist in the Washington, D.C., area, has started a group that encourages other therapists to do the same.
“They’re not going to pay me much in terms of my regular rate anyway,” Romberg said. “So I’m actually feeling positive that I’ve g | | By: TexasFred's | | |

| Soldiers and Moral Duty | | 2007-05-27 21:18:20 | | Nuremberg settled, legally, the issue of the responsibility that rests on soldiers. Following orders does not mean that criminal activity is excused. Just a Girl in short shorts, though, suggests that “the left” does often take such a view. Speaking of Rosie O’Donnell, she writes:
Rosie was trying to make a false distinction, which is often made by the left. She wants us to believe the politicians are the criminals and the troops just following orders. The problem is if an order is criminal the solider who carries it out is also a criminal. The military has a legal and moral duty not to follow illegal orders.
The point is to make a version of the “attack the administration, attack the troops” argument. Its a limited version. To her credit she writes that “You can think, like me, that the war was incredibly stupid, its execution has been incompetent, and it has resulted in a horrifying, unnecessary waste of life.” However, Just a Girl does thin | | By: Hell's Handmaiden | | |

| Pentagon Lies to Pull Soldiers from Videos | | 2007-05-20 20:07:00 | | The Pentagon's claim that its overseas soldiers were sapping too much bandwidth has been contested by the founders of Youtube. Military bigwigs banned Youtube claiming soldiers were blocking its network by watching raucous clips of people falling over and cats mugging children.But Youtube founder, chief executive Chad Hurley, said the Pentagon only thought it would be a bandwidth issue it could not be certain.He pointed out that the US military created the Internet so it should know a bit more about the problem than that.Hurley, chief technology officer Steve Chen and Youtube spokeswoman Julie Supan said that the company is trying to work with the Pentagon in hopes the military will reverse course or at least partially repeal the ban.They were especially puzzled by the block because it came just days after the military launched its own channel on the web site offering what it calls a "boots-on-the-ground" perspective of scenes of combat, they said. | | By: Full Time Income From Home | | |

| Three Brazilian soldiers …. er, what? | | 2007-05-14 14:34:36 | | Donald Rumsfeld briefed the President this morning. He told Bush that three Brazilian soldiers were killed in Iraq. To everyone’s amazement, all of the colour ran from Bush’s face, then he collapsed onto his desk, head in hands, visibly shaken, almost whimpering.
Finally, he composed himself and asked Rumsfeld, “Just exactly how many is a brazillion?”…..
