Obama Urges Congress to Support Tricare Fees

On Monday the White House pressed the Pentagon to rein in Tricare costs and begin a new round of base closings as the Senate took up the National Defense Authorization Act on the military’s 2014 budget….

Veterans and  Retirees Write your Politicians and remind them that we fought for our right to vote and that we do exercise it… A lot of us were promised Free medical if we gave the Government 20 years… Now we pay through the teeth twice?

Hoping for some Change

  The people in charge should be kicked out and required to personally pay this money back...
"
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers cannot produce about $1 billion of receipts for fuel and other supplies it bought in Iraq using Iraqi money, a government investigation has found.
The total amount of funds unaccounted for has now reached a staggering $7 billion, officials say — and they warn that the Iraqi government is likely to demand at least some of that money back.
The United States has been managing billions of dollars of Iraqi money through the U.N.-created Development Fund for Iraq (DFI)"

 UN is running our policy?

22 Cuban Missile Crisis: “When the Right Words Counted”

http://www.navalhistory.org/2012/10/22/cuban-missile-crisis-when-the-right-words-counted

On 22 October 1962, President John F. Kennedy delivered a televised speech, arguably “the most serious speech delivered in his lifetime” and the “most frightening presidential address” in U.S. history.’  Soviet missile-launch sites had been discovered under construction in Cuba.  The response resuIted from deliberations among the President and his ad hoc Executive Committee (ExCom).  

Its final draft was improved significantly by an unlikely person: the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), Admiral George W. Anderson, Jr.

Sen. Linda Lopez Statement on Tucson Events

Image by Freedom To Marry via FlickrA Few days ago  Arizona State Senator Linda Lopez made a statement about the shooter in Tucson being a Afghanistan vet.
  I sent her a Email castigating her for Shooting from the lip and placing blame on the Veterans and the Military.
Although she did not apologize she did in my opinion make a conscious effort at damage control.an dtha is at least one small step in the right direction. Here is the text of her Email....

Sen. Linda Lopez Statement on Tucson Events

“Shortly after the shooting of my closest friend I gave an interview with Fox News.  As part of that interview, I wrongly reiterated some information told to me immediately prior to the interview that the suspect shooter in the Tucson attack was possibly a veteran of the war in Afghanistan. As we know now, there was a great deal of misinformation about not only the shooter, but also the status of the victims.   

I am a staunch supporter of our brave men and women who serve in the military.  I understand and greatly appreciate the sacrifices they make for our country each and every day they serve.  My husband is himself a veteran of the Vietnam War. I also understand that many people were upset about the description of the shooter that I passed on. My statement in no way was a reflection of my feelings about our veterans or the people currently serving our country.

With that, I would ask that we continue to keep Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and all of the other victims of this horrific attack in our thoughts and prayers.”

I did not expect a reply as I am a veteran from Oregon...

Safety burden shifts to State Department after Iraq war

Military urged to aid workers with logistics

The Obama administration has not settled on a plan to protect and supply thousands of State Department diplomats and employees left behind in Iraq once all but a relatively few U.S. troops leave the county in a little more than a year.

In what would be the first time a large contingent of American government workers will remain in an active war zone without U.S. military protection, the State Department is urgently demanding that the Pentagon provide equipment at no cost.

The State Department also wants the Army to let it tap into the huge, billion-dollar logistics system that fed and supplied more than 100,000 combat troops at one time. So far, the Pentagon has not given the State Department an answer.

"I can't think of another time when the State Department will have been required to take over a mission of this magnitude," Grant S. Green, a member of the special Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan, told The Washington Times. Read more at www.washingtontimes.com
