The latest is LT GEN Kiley from the Walter Reed scandal. They still get their pension and I know for a fact that when they are retired, they get better health care than your normal retired enlisted. I also know that they get better care than the people they allowed to live in substandard conditions.

I have a vacation planned for an out of country trip for 5 days, but it looks like my National Guard unit may be placed under a stoploss right before my trip. Would I still be allowed to go or is it illegal to leave under a stoploss, even for just a period of 5 or 6 days?

Or is it just the military that is at war, while the great majority of the American population ignores the whole Iraq mess and goes on with its normal way of life?

Do any Americans really care whether it is the Sunnis or the Sh'ites that wins?

Still, the military hospitals tend to discharge seriously brain-injured soldiers to V.A. hospitals, regardless of their active or retired status. It is how the system works, and challenging it requires constant haggling, which often leaves the families of the severely wounded soldiers feeling abused, resentful and anxious for those soldiers without an advocate. Of course the Republicans do not care.

“We have been let down by a system that is so bungling and bureaucratic that it doesn’t know what it can and cannot do and just says ‘No’ as a matter of course,” said Debra Schulz of Friendswood, Tex., whose son, Lance Cpl. Steven Schulz of the Marines, 22, suffered a severe brain injury during his second tour in Iraq. Mrs Schulz stated the USA Government ( Bush and Republicans) turned their backs on the injured returning troops. This is the way the USA Government operates. This is the war supporters way.

Army Surgeon General Forced to Retire
Walter Reed Scandal Claims Another Job
By PAULINE JELINEK
AP
WASHINGTON (March 12) - The Army forced its surgeon general, Lt. Gen. Kevin C. Kiley, to retire, officials said Monday, the third high-level official to lose his job over poor outpatient treatment of wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

Kiley, who headed Walter Reed from 2002 to 2004, has been a lightning rod for criticism over conditions at the Army's premier medical facility, including during congressional hearings last week. Soldiers and their families have complained about substandard living conditions and bureaucratic delays at the hospital overwhelmed with wounded from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan .

Kiley submitted his retirement request on Sunday, the Army said in a statement.

"We must move quickly to fill this position -- this leader will have a key role in moving the way forward in meeting the needs of our wounded warriors," Acting Secretary of the Army Pete Geren said in an Army statement.

Geren asked Kiley to retire, said a senior defense official speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the record. Defense Secretary Robert Gates was not involved in the decision to ask Kiley to retire, the official said.

Kiley's removal underscored how the fallout over Walter Reed's shoddy conditions has yet to subside. Instead, the controversy has mushroomed into questions about how wounded soldiers and veterans are treated throughout the medical systems run by the military and the Department of Veterans Affairs and has become a major preoccupation of a Bush administration already struggling to defend the unpopular war in Iraq.

Drought blamed on lack of faith

By Liam Houlihan

March 11, 2007 12:00am
Article from: Sunday Herald Sun

A LEADING Muslim cleric has blamed the devastating drought, climate change and pollution on Australians' lack of faith in Allah.
Radical sheik Mohammed Omran told followers at his Brunswick mosque that out-of-control secular scientific values had caused environmental disaster.
"The fear of Allah is not there. So we have now a polluted earth, a polluted water, a wasteland," he told a meeting this year.
"What are the people now crying for? The prophet told you hundreds of years ago, 'Look after the water'."
A Sunday Herald Sun investigation also found clerics railing against "evil" democracy, vilifying Jews and Christians and encouraging jihad and polygamy.
And in a popular DVD selling locally, a foreign sheik exhorts Muslims to take control of Australia by out-breeding non-believers.
British-based Sheik Abdul Raheem Green forbade Muslims from having fewer than four children so Australia would become an Islamic state.
Behind the closed doors of some Melbourne mosques and bookshops, sheiks push for Sharia law, declare Islam at war with the "sick" West and gloat that September 11 boosted Muslim numbers.
At a Muslim information centre in Coburg, extreme literature shares shelves with DVDs by firebrand sheiks from around the globe.

The centre, run by Abu Hamza, serves Muslims in the northern suburbs.
Many CDs and DVDs there feature London sheik Abdul Raheem Green, who is on an Australian Government watchlist.

On one he tells his audience to Islamise Australia through a Muslim baby boom.
"The birth rate in the Western countries is going down. People are more interested in their careers . . . they don't want to have babies," Sheik Green says in one DVD.
"So don't you think, Muslim brothers and sisters, we've got a bit of an opportunity here? They're not having babies any more. So what if, instead, we have the babies?
"In Canada one in three or one in four children being born is a Muslim. What does that do to the demographic shift of a Muslim population in 20 years' time?
Islamic Council of Victoria spokesman Waleed Aly said he was disappointed though not surprised by the Sunday Herald Sun's discoveries.
But he said extremist speech and literature was confined to only a couple of Melbourne groups.
"If I walked into (Omran's group) or (Hamza's centre) it wouldn't surprise me," he said.
Mr Aly said he believed Muslims were radicalised by "cult-like peer groups", not hate literature.

Military compiling Iraq backup plan if Iraq fails.
Pentagon weighing shift from troop buildup to adviser-based strategy
By Julian Barnes and Pete Spiegel,

WASHINGTON — U.S. military planners have begun plotting a fallback strategy for Iraq that includes a gradual withdrawal of forces and a renewed emphasis on training Iraqi fighters in case the current troop buildup fails or is derailed by Congress.
But a drawdown of forces would be in line with comments to Congress by Defense Secretary Robert Gates last month that if the surge fails, the backup plan would include moving troops "out of harm's way." "This could become another Vietnam and the American people are aware of that." said one military man. The troops are dying for nothing just like Vietnam. The Iraq war is a lost cause.

The Army is ordering injured troops to go to Iraq
At Fort Benning, soldiers who were classified as medically unfit to fight are now being sent to war. Is this an isolated incident or a trend?

By Benjamin


March 11, 2007 | COLUMBUS, Ga. -- "This is not right," said Master Sgt. Ronald Jenkins, who has been ordered to Iraq even though he has a spine problem that doctors say would be damaged further by heavy Army protective gear. "This whole thing is about taking care of soldiers," he said angrily. "If you are fit to fight you are fit to fight. If you are not fit to fight, then you are not fit to fight."

As the military scrambles to pour more soldiers into Iraq, a unit of the Army's 3rd Infantry Division at Fort Benning, Ga., is deploying troops who are still injured. Bush stated the troops are fit to fight and trust the military doctors.

Frequently some Iraq war supporters state we haven't had a terrorist attack since 9-11. While agreeing we have had no attack in the US, others maintain the bombs and snipers in Iraq are terrorist attacks. If that is so, we've had thousands of "attacks". What is your opinion?
