Female Engagement Team (FET / USMC)

Women can be and often are the most compassionate and successful leaders in the military.

(CLEVELAND) - There is a certain type of woman who joins the U.S. Marine Corps. She is not your average person by any means; but like others who wear the eagle, globe and anchor, she is a person of immense pride and dedication.

Those who are not wash out, there is no Marine Corps for people who only go halfway.

America`s War Veterans: PTSD and its Cure

If the suffering veterans of America can forge a movement to loudly say NO to the vile indignities being heaped upon us right here at home in the land of the free, they can make a difference to their own healing.

(LOS ANGELES) - The two American websites, Veterans Today and Salem News, run by two former US Military veterans, contain some of the most outstanding RealitySpeak writings by both civilians and America's war veterans, presumably, all mostly being eagerly ingested by other American war veterans.

In full disclosure, these websites also reprint my two cents every now and then.

SOTT Report - Fake Terror

FBI recruits terrorists, plans attacks...

(CINCINNATI ) - Joe Quinn of www.sott.net sticks to the facts. His video report on FBI complicity in terrorism is dead on.

Veterans for Peace Engage in White House Civil Disobedience to End War

"Hope demands for others what we demand for ourselves.
Hope does not separate us from them.
Hope sees in our enemy our own face..." -Chris Hedges

(SALEM, Ore.) - More than 100 people were arrested in a Civil Disobedience at the White House protesting the continuing wars in Afghanistan, Pakistan and in Iraq.

Anonymous is not unanimous. We use the Internet as a tool to congregate, communicate, and articulate; but we speak and act with many different voices, and in many different places. As the net has evolved, so have we and our methods.

WikiLeaks: Advancing an Israeli Agenda?

How do we reconcile the Israel lobby’s apparently schizophrenic reaction to WikiLeaks? Could it be that Julian Assange has killed two birds for Israel with one document dump?

(OSAKA, Japan) - Like 9/11, WikiLeaks has been singularly good for Israel.

Asked on the night of September 11, 2001 what the terrorist attacks meant for U.S.-Israel relations, Benjamin Netanyahu, the then former prime minister, tactlessly but accurately replied, “It’s very good.”

Taliban Reports Shocking to Americans

For some the images are revolting, yet it is undeniable proof that the conflict in Afghanistan has been very costly.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Taliban press officials have contacted Salem-News.com with their latest news releases detailing Mujahideen combat operations against US and NATO forces, and also "New different video clips of killing Americans and Nato soldiers in Afghanistan".

I should clarify that I do not have definitive proof that the email and associated photos and video clips originated from the Taliban, but I suspect they probably did.
