Of daring young men he's the paragon!
Warmongers may frown from the Pentagon,
But upon his trapeze,
To the media fleas,
He's Lawrence meets Dancing with Taliban.

Every time I look at the films of the landings at Omaha Beach, I get the shakes. How on earth did they do that?

How'd they go up that slope at Fredericksburg? The British learned that cost at Bunker Hill (and would forget it at New Orleans). Atkinson recounts the fumbles and bad choices in The Guns at Last Light. BTW, that's why the National Training Center and the Battle Command Training Program were set up in the 80s, so commanders and staff could learn their trade without butchering so many men.

On the 21st September 2013 it is International Peace Day. We are making an event called 'The Fallen' on the D-Day landing beach of Arromanches in northern France that illustrates what happens with the absence of peace.
Strikes me that these folks have it backwards. If Neville had had his way and "peace" had prevailed then this group would be painting millions of "star of Davids" assuming that the Nazis would have permitted it. Or am I missing something?
He [Maj. Gen Zhu Chenghu, a professor at the National Defense University] suggested that if China came to blows with any of its neighbors, the U.S. might not be a reliable ally. I'll just leave it at that.

D *** NG IT, You call that "E.D." thing-am-a-jig E-tended D-eterrence???
gut nuthin.
* CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > [HuffPo] WHY CHINA + US ARE HEADED TO A CATASTROPHIC CLASH.
* CHINA DAILY > CHINA MAY CALL VIETNAM'S BLUFF + START A WAR: DUOWEI NEWS | REUTERS.
I'm more concerned wid the PHIL front - China's new garrison in the SCS is directly across from the PHIL main island of LUZON. Besides denying use of Luzon's well-developed Air-Sea Ports [Subic, Clark, etc.] to the USDOD + aligned, the PLA needs Luzon to also extend the range of its anti-Naval/Carrier DF-21 ASBMS, + Heavy + Tac StrikeAir, + other LRBMS to deter any US intervening force coming in from EASTPAC.
* TOPIX > [VOA News] CHINA PLANTED OIL RIG TO TEST VIETNAMESE RESOLVE.
US = POTUS Bammer's resolve???
* GUAM PDN > [US] MILITARY MAY DEPLOY [reassign?] THAAD TO SOUTH KOREA,
* JAPAN TIMES > OFFICIALS PUSH TO SCRAP LIMITS TO SDF MISSIONS.
* IIRC SAME > OPINION: WHERE ARE THE SHIPS, PLANES FOR GUAM'S MARINES?
Similarly, Where's the THAAD = GMD-TMD, SUPER-AEGIS???
IMO its as if the US CODEL of McCain + Levine are enticing China + PLA to attack + takeover GUAM-WESTPAC???
Under the Obama-the-Globalist, ...
> RISING IRAN = extended its sphere to the coasts of the Eastern Med, Syria, + Iraq.
> RUSSIA = has the Crimea back, + is making rapperochement wid its former WARSAW PACT satellite nations in eastern Europe, China, + non-India East-South Asia.
This leaves RISING CHINA that still is still isolated to its border coasts, + needs to PCorrectly-Deniably expand its sphere.
* FYI BRAZIL = as per FREEREPUBLIC + TOPIX, seems interested in dev as an AGRO-POWER.
Its Brazil rival = alter-ego ARGENTINA that would like to be MilPol aggressive or bellicose, e.g. repor dev schemas to use Ocean-going tugs to intercept British oil rigs attempting to set up in the disputed Falklands.
Lastly,
* PHIL STAR [repost] > DESIGNS OF CHINA'S PLANNED MILITARY BASE ON MABINI REEF SURFACES.
* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > OBAMA CALLS PROTECTION OF EASTERN EUROPE "SACROSANCT" OBLIGATION FOR THE US.

Have any of these team mates indicated they have been interviewed and submitted sworn testimony to an AR 15-6 investigating officer ?
Where is the 15-6 now? What does it say, and who was appointed as investigating officer ?
SOF elements were allegedly aware of Bergdahl's location but did not attempt to rescue "for fear of losing personnel." I call bullshi*. My guess is they were ordered NOT to attempt a rescue. At that point it begs the question of why, and why were the Klingons allegedly involved ?
#2
If the government knew Bergdahl went native, why did the military promote him while he was a captive(?)? There are a lot of questions to be answered. Whether the military and Congress have the cajones to do so is questionable. We seem to have a "shadow government," operating in out country i.e. a government operating without accountability or subject to scrutiny. The MSM has abetted this process but I sense a slight shift as of late.
#4
Oh lord, please don't tell me this is some kind of cocked up CIA operation where they had a guy go native in an attempt to get good intell on the Talibunnies and find out who is who?
Please don't tell me that.
Of course, that might explain the lack of adult supervision in this escapade.
Please don't tell me the CIA has done it AGAIN.

I'd assumed the SF didn't go after he because they didn't want causalties reclaiming a traitor.

The empty suit White House makes the court of Suleiman the Great in Istanbul look like kindergarten...
Geez, I believe he's got it.
Whew, so the CIA DIDN'T do it again...that's a relief.
So those two guys in the Talibunnie video are probably a couple of DOJ agents from Phoenix...they had to hide those F&F guys somewhere...and it makes about as much sense as F&F. What on earth are those guys in the WH smoking the last six years? Kinda makes Maui Wowwee look pretty tame.

[IsraelTimes] On June 2, Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, and Fatah formed a unity government in the Paleostinian Authority after many months of reconciliation talks, with Hamas nominally dissolving its government in the Gazoo Strip. The move represents the fruit of a long internal debate within the group's higher echelons regarding its future course. Rather than adhering to the seven-year-old strategy of prioritizing exclusive control of "Fortress Gazoo" with no serious effort to heal the rift with Fatah in the West Bank, Hamas leaders have now changed tack toward a different program: transplanting the Hezbollah model from Leb to Paleostine.
For Hamas, this means integrating into the general political system while retaining independent, well-equipped armed forces and striving to maintain control of Gazoo through its existing grip on local bureaucracy, its wide network of social institutions, and, of course, its 20,000 well-trained military cadres and security personnel.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
