Look, it's Top Secret, really above TS, but you've been there, done that, you've earned the right to know. But don't tell anyone else, okay?
Never rains just scares the piss out of the angels.......

Much of my correspondence centers on “neocon,” as in Buchanan’s wrong label “neocon court historian.” I’ve written no biography of any administration official, much less been subsidized or asked to do any particular writing to further an administration goal. I have been to the White House only on 3-4 occasions, always accompanied by a larger group of historians of widely differing views.
Neocon means “new conservative” and I suppose refers to those of the once hard left who, largely in distrust of the Soviet Union and disillusionment with Great Society programs, moved right, most prominently during the Reagan era. Buchanan himself worked with them in the Reagan White House, and I would imagine supported their tough, correct stance on rollback, and the questioning of 1960s entitlements.
The word became a pejorative slur with gusto in 2003 with the lead-up to Iraq. Perhaps some essays by neo-cons questioning the motives and patriotism (wrongly I think) of paleo-cons accentuated the falling out. But the big break came in 2004-6 with the insurgency in Iraq, when neocon became de facto synonymous with “Jew” and there were overt efforts to tie Kristol, Perle, Wolfowitz, Feith and others to a sort of covert cabal that had forced us to go to war for Israel — this despite the fact that Bush, Cheney, Powell, Rumsfeld and Rice were neither Jews nor neocons nor malleable dupes. That Francis Fukuyama, James Woolsey, or Bill Bennet were neocons seemed likewise to have had little effect on the Israel “amen corner” thesis.
Neoconservatism has been around for decades. And now you post VDH claiming that it supposedly became a secret code word just 5 or 6 years ago? This proves your original statement to be false. But I already knew it was false.
Take your bilge somewhere else.
The term “neoconservative” was created by the socialist Michael Harrington about 40 years ago and many of the accused were Catholic.
Like many of our words today, “neocon’ doesn’t mean what it may have meant 40 years ago.

“Here’s a question: Why do we still have military bases in Germany?”
Strategic interest. We have bases all over the world to provide closer support our troops anywhere on this planet.
“Is the Warsaw Pact resurgent?”
No. But we support our troops in the middle east from our bases in europe. We need these bases, especially those in Japan and Germany to cover the word with our supply chain.
“I sorta understand why we’re still in Korea (although they should be paying us) but Germany?! Huh?”
I think you “sorta don’t understand” why we’re still in Korea. We’re not there to defend south korea, we’re there to keep the north under control.
There are two training centers for the german “Luftwaffe” in the US. One is Holoman AFB Alamogordo,NM the other one is Ft. Bliss El Paso, TX.
So everything there has changed since my two tours? I was the hotline operator (early warning intelligence analyst for the DMZ) at I Corps Group G-2 the first time and was in charge of analysis for three DPRK corps in my second tour. But why don’t you explain the situation there to me.
“Do we have bases here, in America, that are maned by foreign troups?”
Well, ya see, the thing is....
We won WW2.
“So everything there has changed since my two tours?
...
But why don’t you explain the situation there to me.”
The DPRK is chinas long arm only nothing more but nothing less. They’re there to probe how seriously we’re willing to keep up our role as defender of the free world. And we’re there to show’em that we take this job dead serious.
Thanks, Cindy.
Iran’s rhetoric increasing.daily.
This won’t end well.
Israel's capable of keeping a secret - might be a long time before we know.
