I’ve documented how Gabbard hasn’t been anti-war for years.[1] This war against Iran has been the plan all along, as Brian Berletic has pointed out several times.[2]
New satellite imagery reveals a significant concentration of U.S. military aircraft and bombers on the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, including strategic B-52 bombers, KC-135 tankers, F-15 fighters and a C-5M heavy transport aircraft—a buildup signaling enhanced readiness for potential operations amid regional tensions.
In recent years, we have gotten calls on the GI Rights Hotline from service members concerned about having to police the US-Mexican border and/or police demostrations in the US. Others feel disturbed by US support for specific overseas operations, like Israel’s actions in Gaza and the West Bank. Many call us with a troubled conscience, and some ask about applying for a conscientious objection (CO) discharge. Military regulations spell out very specific criteria for military members to qualify as a conscientious objector. Keep reading to see if a CO discharge may be appropriate for you. Even if you don’t meet the definition of a conscientious objector, you may still qualify for a different discharge. You can call us on the hotline to discuss your options: 877-447-4487.
Donald Trump apparently has decided to attack Iran. Mark this date. It is the beginning of the end of the Trump Presidency. Trump has been persuaded that the Iranian air defense is weak and that a US bombing run will eliminate any chance that Iran can build a nuclear device. He has been a victim of lies. He will shortly discover, if these attacks take place, that Iran retains a significant capability to shoot down US aircraft. In fact, I fully expect Iran will capture and put on display several US air force officers in the next week.
If Trump launches this attack, Iran will retaliate against US bases and Israel. Israel, for the first time in 77 years, will suffer devastating losses. If Trump thought the Houthis were a tough customer, he’s going to learn a hard lesson with Iran.
I have a bad feeling about this… though it could just be the Mac and Cheese staging a rebellion.
During this year’s Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth laid out an alarming vision for the future of the Asia-Pacific region, a vision that includes the same type of U.S. military encroachment and confrontation that has turned Europe, North Africa and the Middle East into devastated battlegrounds over the past two decades.
He said that through the years they were able to modernize and now he relies on the VA Hospital in Madison for his primary health care.
He said he was there recently and became alarmed to hear about cuts now under the Trump administration.
“When I was up there six weeks ago for an incident, I asked one of the nurses, ‘Can I get a pad of paper and a pen to just write some stuff down in the interim between the examinations,’” the veteran recounted. “And she said, ‘I’m sorry we don’t have office supplies. We have to bring in our own pens and paper and marking pens, because the VA doesn’t have it.’”
…
“Don’t just thank me for my service. Tell me what you’re doing to make this country better,” he said.
