Arse?

What are 'we' British, now also, chap?
You sound like you'd be more comfortable with a guitar rather than a rifle, son!

Don't try to scold me about the content of this video; It is what it is. Freedom of expression is what it's about. What only belligerent Haitians, and bombastic anti-DR mysterious characters have the right to express themselves? And then, in an inflammatory manner? What am I banned now, by this breach of your (intelligence) ignonace? Just trying to hip the brethren; Is that ok with you?

On another tip, I am a veteran, FYI; I've been to basic training and worn the uniform. So please don't condescend or fraternize me. I volunteered, I was ready to die; But that was before you were born, maybe. 1974-1978*

Obama and the rest of these NWO robots are ushering in "the beginning of the end", to use one of his intended or unintended cliches.

Glim: That's your name right! Whatever that's supposed to imply;

I just think that idolizing people is foolish, and anyone who does is bound to have a rude awakening one day when their hero turns out to be the Wizard of Oz.. You follow me; yet, rock on! DUDE.
To each his own; but, I don't think that anyone's fervor should impede them from discerning palpable truth; Truth is truth even is you decide it's a lie. It's self evident....You've heard about the pudding analogy?.

............"but there is an evident reason why you didnt make to the decision making stripes !!"........

What's that in Spanglish? You want to say I didn't make rank? Fat chance, troop. I proceeded from
E-1 to E-4 in less than 3 years. I just didn't need to be sent anywhere I didn't want to go. Such as a PR class-mate in Tech-school who got asssigned to 24 months in Thule, Greenland just months after joineing "the Service". I choose my battles, troop. I joined because of the Viet-Nam era, once the Turkey (Carter) moved into the WHHaaatt House, I decided it was time to scoot.

On the music preference; I'm no longer entertained by 'pop' music. Back in the day I like some soul music, and all that jazz; But my heart was really into Latin Music: talking 'bout-----
"Plastico":

El era un muchacho plástico
de esos que veo por ahí
con la peinilla en la mano
y cara de "yo no fuí"
de los que por tema en conversación
discuten que marca de carro es mejor
de los que prefieren el no comer
por las apariencias que hay que tener
pa' andar elegantes y asi poder
una chica plástica recoger
(Que fallo)
...

Oye latino, oye hermano, oye amigo
nunca vendas tu destino
por el oro ni la comodidad
nunca descanses,
pues nos falta andar bastante
vamos todos adelante
para juntos terminar
con la ignorancia que nos trae sugestionados
con modelos importados
que no son la solución.

No te dejes confundir,
busca el fondo y su razón
recuerda: Se ven las caras,
pero nunca el corazón.
No te dejes confundir,
busca el fondo y su razón
recuerda: Se ven las caras,
pero nunca el corazón.
recuerda: Se ven las caras,
y jamás el corazón.

[Coro:]
Se ven las caras, se ven las caras, vaya,
pero nunca el corazón.
Del polvo venimos todos
y allí regresaremos, como dice la canción
Recuerda que el plástico se derrite
si le da de lleno el sol

(Coro)
Estudia, trabaja, se gente primero
allí está la salvación
Pero que mira, mira, no te dejes confundir
busca el fondo y su razón
Pa' lante, pa' lante, pa' lante, pa' lante, pa' lante
y así seguiremos unidos, y al final venceremos.
[Se ven las caras..]

Pero señoras y señores, en medio del plástico
también se ven las caras de esperanza
se ven las caras orgullosas
que trabajan por una latinoamérica unida
y por un mañana de esperanza y de libertad
Se ven las caras de trabajo y de sudor
de gente de carne y hueso que no se vendió
de gente trabajando, buscando el nuevo camino
orgullosas de su herencia y de ser latino
de una raza unida, la que Bolívar soñó.
Siembra!

Panamá, Puerto Rico, México, Venezuela
Perú, República Dominicana, Cuba, Costa Rica
Colombia, Honduras, Ecuador, Bolivia
Argentina, Nicaragua sin Somoza,
el barrio, la esquina, los estudiantes...

Then in to the 80's:
In the 80's there was this guaracha that went like this:

Cambia el paso, busca el ritmo, olvidete de ese rock and roll y ven a bailar Latino...I want to tell you baby....

Anyway, Glim, 'ta 'to; Tu por aya, y aqui parao'. De ahi a ahi!

And as far as touchy....Not really; However, just because I was once into music, doesn't mean---
Que tu vas a grabar conmigo, maestro.
De eso nada! Creo en Paz y amor....pero nadad de falta de respeto, ni nombrecitos fuera de confinanza. No nos conocemos para bufear asi.

Peace out, troop.

RE: For The Record: Do Not Enlist (Suicides)


US: Army base ordered on stand-down after multiple suicides
By Naomi Spencer
29 May 2009

Members of the 101st Airborne Division were ordered to suspend regular operations at the Fort Campbell, Kentucky, Army base Wednesday after the suicide toll rose to 11 for the year.

The stand-down, termed the “Second Suicide Stand-Down Event,” by acting top commander Brig. Gen. Stephen Townsend, was prompted by two suicides on base last week. Fort Campbell, which leads the Army in base suicides, instituted a similar stand-down in March that was effective across the entire Army. The current, base-specific stand-down is in effect until Friday.

Speaking to the 25,000 personnel stationed at the base, Townsend told soldiers not to hide suicidal feelings and to assist others to get help. He ordered soldiers to complete part of a suicide prevention program in the next few days.

The Army’s reported number of active-duty soldier suicides has climbed every year of the Afghanistan and Iraq occupations. In January, the suicide rate surpassed the combat death toll.

So far this year, the Army lists 64 confirmed or suspected cases in which troops have taken their own lives. This comes atop a record 133 confirmed suicides reported by the Army in 2008, an increase over another record-breaking year in 2007, when at least 115 active-duty personnel killed themselves. Suicides in other branches of the military, such as the Marines, are also on the rise.

The 101st Airborne is a heavily deployed division, particularly for operations in Afghanistan. Its three combat brigades have been redeployed to Iraq for at least three tours.

According to a May 28 Associated Press report, Fort Campbell’s 4th Brigade has just returned from a 15-month tour in Afghanistan. Such deployments have inflicted deep psychological trauma on troops and strain on military families. Head chaplain Col. Ken Brown commented to the AP, “We’ve been at war at this installation for seven years.... I think that has a cumulative effect across the force.”

The latest suicides come as the Obama administration escalates US operations in Afghanistan and Pakistan. By the end of the year, the number of US personnel in the region will reach some 68,000.

The stand-down order is not likely to prevent suicide, according to mental health experts who were interviewed by the cable news channel CNN. Dr. Mark Kaplan, a military suicide researcher who has worked for the Veterans Administration on prevention programs, said, “It sounds like an order.... I’m not sure that a command like this is going to alter the course of somebody who is on a trajectory of self-harm.” Kaplan noted that far from encouraging treatment for mental or emotional problems, the military fosters a social and professional stigma around psychological disorders.

Individuals are ordered into violent situations, where they witness or participate in horrifying acts. Soldiers charged with imposing an occupation on a hostile population are subject to a culture of brutality, paranoia, suspicion of civilians, and hatred.

Although deeply disturbed by their experiences, soldiers are under pressure to hide their trauma from their peers and families. Soldiers come back from tours to financial and relationship strains at home and are pressured to redeploy, in some cases even after being diagnosed with mental disorders. They suppress trauma with alcohol and pills for stress and insomnia, which frequently compound psychological instability.

“More often than not, these are individuals who’ll get liquored up, so to speak, and have access to a gun and die from a self-inflicted gunshot wound,” Kaplan told CNN. The stand-down order was “the equivalent of ‘Just Say No’ to prevent drug abuse,” mental health expert Bill Lichtenstein at Columbia University added.

Mental disorders are extremely common among combat veterans. Currently, about one in five military personnel who have been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan—300,000 in all—have post-traumatic stress disorder or major depression, according to a 2008 Rand Corp. study. The study estimated that only slightly more than half sought any treatment.

At the same time, the military issues blanket prescriptions for active-duty soldiers. A recent Army mental health survey reported that 12 percent of soldiers in Iraq and 17 percent in Afghanistan were taking antidepressants, anxiety medication or sleeping medications.
