Warfare in the new Millenium

I am sure in past conflicts there were many authors who captured their thoughts and observations on good old fashioned paper.  Where once written is was stuffed into a footlocker or box and is not resting comfortably in an attic or basement. 

Students of history will tell you that all that we needed to know about warfare we learned, in some cases the hard way during world war two.  I am quite confident that the greatest of generations has a plethora of undiscovered facts and recollection on paper yet to be discovered. 

Where I am going is that there is A LOT of "stuff" which is published electronically on the web that in times past was just not easily accessible.  It is difficult to sort though what might be good info and what is not.  I am just happy that there is in fact all this "data" which is being published.  I just wish I had more time to read blog posts, electronic journals and contribute to the data pool with my own observations... 

A note to the leaders of the new military;
1. Food, an Army Navy Air Force, Marines, OGA's and contractors need it, keep it good! 
2. Pay, don't fuck it up!  Make it easier to fix when it is. 
3. Most Important, high speed internet! 

Comic Targeted for Execution!

Once again, we have people outside our borders, dictating actions of our citizens inside our borders.   Yep, our troops are in danger, they always are when they go into harms way!  We, Americans should not have to live in fear for exercising our "Rights" in OUR Country!

"The Seattle cartoonist whose work sparked the controversial "Everybody Draw Mohammed Page" on Facebook has gone into hiding at the advice of the FBI, the newspaper that published her comics said Wednesday.

Molly Norris has moved and changed her name following a call by U.S.-born Yemeni cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, The Seattle Weekly said. Awlaki reportedly said she was a "prime target" for execution and that her "proper abode is hellfire.""

After defeating their rivals in Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement, Muslim extremists are focusing their attacks on Christians in Gaza City. Christians in Gaza City have issued an appeal to the international community and a plea for protection against the increased attacks by Muslim extremists.

Father Manuel Musallem, head of Gaza's Latin church, told the AP that Muslims have ransacked, burned and looted a school and convent that are part of the Gaza Strip's small Romany Catholic community. He told the AP that crosses were broken, damage was done to a statue of Jesus, and at the Rosary Sister School and nearby convent, prayer books were burned.

Gunmen used the roof of the school during the fighting, and the convent was "desecrated," Mussalem told the AP.

"Nothing happens by mistake these days," he said.

Father Musalam additionally told The Jerusalem Post that the Muslim gunmen used rocket-propeled grenades (RPGs) to blow through the doors of the church and school, before burning Bibles and destroying every cross they could get their hands on.

Catholic Online reports that the heads of Christian churches in the Holy Land have urged both sides to put aside their weapons, noting that the infighting diverted international attention from the national goal of Palestinian independence.

"This domestic fighting where brother draws his weapon against brother is detrimental to all the aspirations of achieving security and stability for the Palestinian people," they said. "In the name of the one and only God as well as in the name of each devastated Palestinian, many of whom are still dying, we urge our brothers in the Fatah and Hamas movements to listen to the voice of reason, truth and wisdom."

One young woman told the Catholic News Service that she was concerned the Islamic extremists would "enforce a strict dress code, forcing women to wear veils and robes."

One Christian teenager spoke to the Catholic News Service on the condition that her name not be used. She said the days of fighting had been "very difficult" but they were "OK now." "We all hope it will be better, but it will never ever be good with Hamas," she said.
