Some Vietnam Era Posters : Remembering Comrades on Veterans Day

     

I was a Combat Engineer with the 31st Eng. Battalion, 79th Eng. Division and served in Vietnam in 1970. I also was part of a combination of American and ARVN forces that went into Cambodia in May/June; pursuing NVA Leadership Command and Control.

I lost too many brothers over there. They will always be alive however, in my heart and good memories. They were so young. I was 19 years-old. I didn't know shit about politics or anything like that. All I learned was how to survive in a very bad place. When I came home it was a bad place for veterans like me.

Now, I see Iraq and Afghanistan veterans suffering with PTSD, like me, and I wonder when will it ever end? When will we ever learn that war is not the answer?

 Peace brothers and sisters...all of you from every war...alive and those who aren't here anymore. Peace.

Insult to Injury: AIG whines about 3rd quarter profits and gets More Money!

The insurance giant AIG has asked for more bailout money after reporting third-quarter losses. This request amounts to admission that the first effort to fund them failed. So how are we going to know this works? We're not. We're just going to have to sit back and wait until they report their fourth quarter status.

I was against the original bailout and I'm against this increased amount. The American people were sold down the river on that supposed financial crisis stop gap measure.

I hear that the Big Three automakers  are also in line to ask Uncle Sam for more sugar to sweeten their losses!

When are the hand-outs going to stop?

Does anybody else feel like we're getting fleeced while the big-wigs get help in hard times?

It's getting harder to find people who want to go into the military

This blog recently discovered just how desperate we are for new recruits to fight the ground war in Iraq and Afghanistan. This ground squirrel is part of a regiment of rodents that are training in the desert area of 29 Palms, California.

 They undergo tough paw-to-paw training                                                                                         

and are said to be crack shots. Their ability to forage in the field means they will be able to travel light in their pursuit of the enemy.

FDA ignores evidence of a threat to nations babies and young children

The FDA has been claiming BPA (a harmful chemical) is not dangerous. But facts have surfaced and the FDA is reluctantly admitting there's problems with the chemical, but they still refuse to ban it!

This is just another case of deceiving the public to keep making money, regardless of the effects! Canada banned it's usage this year. We should be doing the same. CLICK HERE to read AS IT STANDS Sunday column in the Times-Standard.
