Military Sexual Trauma: 26,000 Victims and 26,000 Perverts

MST (Military Sexual Trauma) causes the worst PTSD.

(PORTLAND, OR) - I don't know what else to call them, we do have pedophiles and they certainly are perverts assaulting helpless children.

There has got to be a name for ranking sergeants and officers who take advantage of their positions of authority to assault personnel supposedly under their care.

Drones and President Obama, the A-Bomb and President Truman

The A-bomb saved my life.

(PORTLAND, OR) - I am very troubled by the current debate about the military use of drones and the "collateral damage" which is a polite way of saying that the civilians including children are being "taken out" when we bomb enemy leaders and their bodyguards.

"War is hell" was presumably uttered by William William T. Sherman as his infantry marched to the sea and destroyed everything in their way.

Reflections on Pearl Harbor and World War II

Of our eight battleships at Pearl Harbor, four were sunk and the others were badly damaged.

(WASHINGTON DC) - What I learned history in school – and as it usually is taught even today – is that the surprise attack on our forces in Hawaii by the Imperial Japanese Navy was devastating.

The Naval base at Pearl Harbor and the Army Air Corps base at Hickam Field were attacked by 353 Japanese fighters, bombers and torpedo planes launched from six aircraft carriers.

Commemorating the Liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau

"The deeds were monstrous, but the doer ... was quite ordinary, commonplace, and neither demonic nor monstrous." - Hannah Arendt, in a report in The New Yorker

(SAN FRANCISCO) - The UN General Assembly designated January 27—the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the former Nazi death camp in Poland—as International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

This annual day of commemoration is to honor the victims of the Nazi era and to develop educational programs to help prevent future genocides.

Dogface Soldiers

A Special Salute to My Infantry Buddies...

(PORTLAND, OR) - Post Traumatic stress is one of the worst medical ailments of combat infantry, especially but also for emergency room personnel and severe trauma.

Because most of the PTSD victims are military, Army and Marines, this story is about the causes of Post Traumatic Stress and what it psychologically does to the victims, regardless of whether they are military or civilian, because civilians get PTSD too.

If Germans Decide to Erect a Monument for Adolf Eichmann...

Since May 1991, we have a bunch of sellouts in the Menilik Palace who do the bidding of our worst enemies.

(UGANDA) - Kenyans who were tortured during the Mau Mau uprising against British colonialism successfully filed a petition recently at a British court for compensation.

The government of Kenya assisted these Kenyan veterans in their bid to seek redress from their former colonial master that had wronged them so much.

Local Veteran Releases Encouraging New Memoir

The book is available through bookstores nationwide.

(FOREST GROVE, OR) - Author Onan A. Hill announces the release of his encouraging new memoir, “Dear Wanda.”

“Dear Wanda: A Memoir of World War II” is a very personal account of Onan Hill's life for four years in the military from 1942 to 1946. This long letter was written specifically for his wife and four children.

Dusty Old Helmet, Rusty Old Gun

I salute my old friends in the corner,
I agree with all they have said -
And if the moment of truth comes tomorrow,
I'll be free, or By God, I'll be dead!

(CARLINVILLE, IL) - Many years ago I quoted the 2^nd paragraph in a speech I gave to a group of veterans in Carlinville Il.

They saw an article about it and wrote me on how to get permission to use it on a granite veterans memorial they were building. I ended up as the guest speaker at its dedication.

Infantry Deaths: Pres. Truman`s Atomic Bombs and Pres. Obama`s Drones

The bomb and drones both save infantry lives.

(PORTLAND, OR) - After barely surviving General Patton's Army in WWII, I and my infantry division was scheduled to attack Japan where infantry deaths were predicted to be about one million as the Japanese were going to attack troop transports with kamikaze suicide pilots.

We infantry couldn't possibly survive that. President Truman probably saved a million infantry lives.
