Sadly, many officers have been fired - for such things as teaching the truth about Islam, or even having the viewpoint that two men shouldn’t get “married”. The military is not what it used to be, or should be. No doubt there are still many many good members. But unless there is mutiny, they will not go against the higher ups who get their marching orders ultimately from the CIC. Look at the rotten ROE in Afghanistan as an example.

Have a look at these. They’re quite relevant to the situation at hand and for that purpose. Heating costs are going to go way up before long because of the flood of political folks into energy company investments (almost like another tax). The heaters don’t need much wood at all (about 1/5 compared to conventional wood stoves), and they’re stealthy (nearly no smoke, mostly steam, like a dryer vent). And they’re cheap to build and safe if built with close attention to all instructions in the e-book and elsewhere (especially double sealing the exhaust pipe with high-heat gasket sealer, muffler tape, clay, etc., e-book in second link apparently a freebee).

Those abominable policies were forced into ostensible military policy by political, business and academic leaders in both political parties. But in some of those instances of changes of command, there is something else going on.

There's much more behind the "War on Terror" than widely publicized. There are parallels in the past. Russia, for example, instigated and supplied arms to the enemy for the Six Day War. Russia wants warm water ports as one of its small steps toward conquering the world.

Not all is as it seems from media material--something said about the future (which is now) in a heads-up by President Bush, before he left office. He's a Texan. He has advised Obama. Some of the bosses in south Texas are different--not stupid.

Most of them were in the oil business. They talk to commoners as fellow commoners. I grew up with some of their families. A daughter of one of them was in my public school classes during the '60s and early '70s. She was open, sweet and unpretentious, as were her other family members. They communicated and thought like President Bush. Other close friends of my lower-middle class family were also business leaders--relationships that we seldom see now. They were more decent, caring and honest than most of the upper-middle class families around us.

The U.S.A. now advertises even less of what it's really doing in defense, because international situations have been getting more dangerous for years. Other friendly nations are doing the same while publicizing a few less sensitive news releases.

Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt were lefties. Wilson's people ("progressive") campaigned on keeping the U.S. out of war, but WWI rushed toward the U.S. Same with Roosevelt and WWII. Expansions can happen more quickly than expected by most and become more dangerous by the year. And there are more nuclear weapons buildups in the mix than before. Bullies, including international bullies, don't stop trying to expand their control or building up with the worst of weapons possessed by such nations.

Russia, Iran, N. Korea and several other nations are building up nuclear forces while declaring intentions and initiating actions to conquer other nations. Those moves are only stopped by U.S. forces being present and ready to strike in those areas. Sadly, the nuclear buildups in several of the more evil nations will most likely be followed by exchanges.

And it's likely that many Americans are keeping the now prevalent political chatterers in mind while planning and building to take cover from the likely coming consequences of their policies (thus, the widely advertised plans among the connected to designate the perceived unworthy as zombies to be exterminated and a couple of related, premature incidents, their repeated efforts to outlaw weapons for the unworthy, etc.).

For combat specialty soldiers, except for rare, unnecessary physical injuries or similar problems of dis-function for defense purposes, drill sergeants are the unquestioned authority on training posts. In warfare, social problems are weeded out quickly. Agreed on rules of engagement problems. Those nations should be denazified, but trade and government income interests don't want the necessary manufacturing base, revenues properly spent or many more boys returning home as men to take proper positions, have kids, etc.

Denazification, cumulative review. Report, 1 April 1947-30 April 1948.
