On the Frontlines

In a Guerilla/Insurgent war everywhere is the 'Front Lines'!

It also is the growth of a Civil War, as soon as an invasion occurs. For the Insurgents are not only going to fight to rid their country of the Occupiers, they will also go after their fellow countrypersons who side with the Occupation and eventually the ones who don't join them, as it starts resembling the beginning of a 'Genocide'!

And as in All Wars the innocents suffer from their just being there, as they are torn apart by All Sides causing the Death and Destruction!

ITN reports with the First Cavalry as it attempts to bring stability to troubled parts of Iraq.

Here are two NPR Reports, by Jamie Tarabay
Roadside Bombs Plague Iraq Patrols

All Things Considered, March 20, 2007 · In Iraq, improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, remain the principle cause of death and injury among U.S. soldiers. NPR reporter Jamie Tarabay learned first hand about the IED threat Tuesday as she traveled with American troops in Diyala province.
Listen to This Report

"That would have killed us," he said. "It was a land mine right in the middle of the road. It was command-wired and pressure-plated, so whether he set it off or we set it off, it would have been a bad day."

"Hey, we got rock throwers on the left in an alleyway — just stay down. Just stay down and watch your head, there's rock throwers on the left. These little kids they're waving, but they probably hate you, actually," he said. "Hey, grab some candy for the rock throwers, throw some peanuts at them."

As Thomas puts it in his recent G.I.Special Newsletter:

U.S., Iraqi Forces Target Diyala Insurgents

The road to the village of Shakarat is pocked with craters from roadside bombs. Cars approaching a U.S. military convoy teeter precariously to the left side of the road, almost falling into the pungent ditch. Shakarat and most of Diyala province are home to Iraq's most fertile land. Towns are squeezed between dense clusters of palm groves and snaking canals.

U.S. and Iraqi forces have taken over some of the houses in Shakarat to establish a presence in the village. One of their new outposts is the largest and nicest house on this street. The owner's son complains that the family hasn't been compensated for the use of its house.

Morning Edition, March 21, 2007 · Sunni insurgents are moving into Diyala province, northeast of Baghdad, to escape a U.S. operation that has become increasingly violent. Now U.S. and Iraqi troops are conducting operations aimed at denying the insurgents access to a region that has been an insurgent stronghold.

U.S. and Iraqi forces have blocked off access for vehicles across the bridge to the village of Shakarat since they began operations here March 14. U.S. soldiers say they will reopen the bridge once the situation is more secure.

Listen to This Report

No matter what Good is attempted, and most sent into these theaters Do Attempt, in trying to win the hearts and minds, an invading force has already lost some of that by the invasion when done for No Justifiable Reason, and continue to lose as they Kill and Destroy!

Throw in the Arrests, of the innocent, and lowering oneself to the gutter of those you condemn, by using Torture and other acts of InHumanity, you have Completely Lost any semblance of a Moral Compass and any described thought of 'Victory'!

You only Create More of that countries, and regions, citizens as your Enemies and Supporters of the Insurgency, of which without support a Guerilla/Insurgent War cannot exist!

Now on the Vote yesterday, in the House, of which I'm not to happy with because I believe leaving our troops In-Country is only increasing the already out of control Sectarian/Civil and Insurgent Wars, Rep. Steny Hoyer stated at the end of his comment {not an exact quote}:

"We did not Vote to put our troops into the middle of a civil war."

As to the overwelming congressional vote in 2002.
Sorry Steny but you all who voted For did Exactly that. Remember 'us' the pResidents 'focus groups', tens of thousands to millions of voices!

Well thousands of those who were ex government officials or military were telling you all, and the pResident, what would happen if this country invaded. As well as thousands of us 'Nam Vets and those Activists who saw it coming. How did we know, as we weren't privy to the Fixed Intelligence {many even seeing how phony that was as well} you all were Supposed to be looking at and understanding not to mention Questioning.
We knew from Listening Closely to Everyone, and Most Importantly History, especially Recent History, and guess what Common Sense! As to Iraq, our history with Saddam and the Country, as to region our Governments Policies towards, as to what was coming, 'Nam, Soviet/Afgan Conflict, as well as other U.S. and Soviet adventures in failed policies. and even knowing what is really going on between the Pallistinian's and Israelli's.

It didn't take Rocket Science, and None but a Few were paying Real Attention in the Halls and Branches of the Federal Government, remember We Were 'Focus Groups' That Shouldn't Be Heard!!

America’s Broken Social Contract – Our Betrayal

Bobby Muller


As we enter the fifth year of our war in Iraq, I am deeply distressed that our country is betraying our service members.

As a veteran, I can assure you that there is no greater pain than the sense of betrayal by a government and a country that send you to war.

Thirty-eight years ago, while serving in Vietnam, an enemy bullet ripped through my chest as I led an assault against a hill, just below the demilitarized zone, defended by North Vietnamese regular forces. It is a miracle that I survived, albeit as a paraplegic confined to a wheelchair. The military medical evacuation was the best in the world. I was flown out to the hospital ship the U.S.S. Repose and given immediate life-saving surgery. The care was spectacular. Then I entered long-term rehabilitation and things went downhill fast.
My first day in the New York City veterans' hospital, where I was to stay as an inpatient for a year, was the first time I cried since being wounded. I was overwhelmed with despair at the circumstances I found myself in. LIFE magazine depicted my ward as a "medical slum." It was awful.
When my government asked me to serve, I did. I paid an immense personal price, and my country subsequently turned its back on me. I had been betrayed.
As the war began to wind down and we became aware that our government lied about the necessity and purposefulness of the war, I became very angry and the betrayal that I felt was debilitating.
I have fought for service member and veterans benefits for more than 35 years. I used to believe that the changes enacted as a result of our struggles would lead to better care for future generations. It was my hope that no service member or veteran would ever feel a similar sense of betrayal by our country.

I was wrong.

Today's service members and veterans are being forced to fight the same battles we fought.

It is shameful.

How is it possible that America has not learned from its mistakes?

How is it possible that we collectively ignore the challenges of service members until the suffering and neglect are horrifying?

I'll tell you how:

There is a social contract between a country and those it sends to war, and America's social contract is broken.

When our citizens are willing to serve and, in some cases, sacrifice their lives for America, our government has a corresponding moral obligation to ensure that this willingness is not squandered. We must recognize and defend this obligation prior, during, and post deployment.

First, we need to ensure that deployment is absolutely necessary. The conflict must be worthy of the sacrifices being asked. Decisions that require the greatest sacrifice from our citizens must be subjected to full congressional and public debate.

Second, when our nation deploys troops, the government has an obligation to provide the capacity, the strategy, the numbers, the equipment, and any other support our troops require. Today, it is clear that our service members are not getting the support they deserve.

Third, when our service members pay a personal price by serving our country, we must do right by them when they return. This means ensuring that health, rehabilitative, and readjustment programs adequately provide for their specific needs. Everyone in America realizes that this is not the case today.

The media and public uproar following the Walter Reed debacle was a necessary first step. Now, this foundation must be built upon.

Walter Reed is symptomatic of a country disengaged from its wars.

Less than half a percent of our population is being asked to bear the burden of this "long war." Our all-volunteer military has allowed most of the country to remain oblivious to the horrors of our wars.

We must begin to equitably distribute this sacrifice - not by sharing the burden of combat, but through the burden of political engagement.

The American public can create a strong social contract. We must begin to pressure our government to uphold its end of the bargain. Our service members are in desperate need of our advocacy. The betrayal felt by this generation must be reversed.

Whether we like it our not, these are our wars, and we must begin to take ownership of their causes, conduct and consequences.

What does America owe to those who serve? We owe them a social contract worthy of their sacrifice.

{Please help Veterans for America repair our social contract by supporting S. Res. 39 and H. Res. 163 that require the president to receive congressional approval before taking offensive military action against any additional countries and S. 117 and H. R. 1354 important first steps in assessing and providing adequate care to today's service members and veterans.}

Breaking the Army...

For those of you who don't follow MOJO, Mother Jones, or haven't visted lately, get their updates in your e-box, or just plain don't know about this magazine, you miss some fine investigative reporting, digging deeper on breaking news, great commentary, and an erge to do your own digging for more info from other sources.
Here's just a few from the recent MOJO. Than below those a few other reports of interest. {the two graphics are theirs from this newest report on the troops}

Revelations about the appalling living conditions at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center have exposed the bureaucracy and neglect that many wounded soldiers face after returning from Iraq. But this is only one aspect of the sad aftermath of this war. More than 1/3 of the troops currently deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan have served multiple tours, negatively affecting the army's readiness and putting pressure on the National Guard and Reserves. Furthermore, 23,000 troops have been wounded in action in Iraq and countless more are struggling with the psychological wounds of war. Check out Mother Jones' Iraq 101 package for some compelling facts on what it takes to put a GI back together again, what U.S. soldiers have experiences in Iraq, and how the Iraq War is breaking the army.
Read: Breaking the Army

Much has been written about how President Bush and former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld waged war on the cheap, but the Veterans' Administration has also been shortchanging soldiers who come back wounded. Cutbacks, cooking the books, privatization schemes, and even a proposal to close down the VA's operations have all been in evidence.

It's easy to send soldiers off to war; it's a lot harder to face them when they come home. Check out this photo essay on returning from Iraq and the damage done.

Take Some Action

While the "support the troops" mantra is ubiquitous in Congress, medical facilities like Walter Reed Army Hospital have been stretched to the limits to care for injured soldiers. Yet the 2008 military budget proposal emphasizes funding for next-generation weapons that have nothing to do with the troops on the ground in Iraq. Learn more and tell your representatives what you think.
According to a report prepared for the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs, thirty percent of surveyed vet centers said that they need more staff. The same report concluded that "the administration's failure to adequately increase staffing and other resources for Vet Centers has put their capacity to meet the needs of veterans and their families at risk." Find out more and take action.
There are numerous charities that make a difference in GIs' lives by sending letters, gifts, and packages, and helping troops keep in touch with their families and friends. Find out how you can get involved here.
Most Americans now think the best way to support the troops is to bring them home, but soldiers are still being sent in Iraq without proper training, equipment, or rest periods between deployments. Senator Barrack Obama recently introduced binding legislation that would cut the number of troops in Iraq, put forward, specific benchmarks for success, and establish a timeline for redeployment. Learn more and take action here.

OK, now this next ones got me stumped, or should I say, Not Surprising! Considering all we've been Finally getting out of the MSM about Military and Veteran Care and the Incompetence of the Military/Civilian Leadership of the Armed Forces!
Now we All know the total Incompetence of this whole Administration, it just keeps stacking New failed Policies and Incompetent Cabinet members foulups, not to mention the pResident, One on Top of Another and Another and Another and Another...................................................................!!
We also know about the totally Incompetent and Corrupt previous Congess, betja their really pissed that they've got to stay in Washington and WORK for their pay now! Jury still out on the New Congress but at least We've Finally Got Questions Being Asked and Investigations going on!
But how the Hell does a Professional Military, or rather Professional Military Leaders, not have a clue as to How Many of their Military Personal, intelligent folks indeed saying we no longer want anything to do with your Illegal Immoral Iraq War and the Failed Policies of the Administration, are Not Reporting For Duty! Of all Branches of a Government a Military knows when one sneezes let alone where their troops are. The report below, my guess is, just gives a tip of what else they haven't a clue about, like the Monies they oversee as well as equipment and a whole host of items and issues.

Army Lacks Accurate Count on Deserters
by Nancy Mullane
Listen to Report
Morning Edition, March 19, 2007 · The Army can't provide a specific number of deserters. At least 3,000 soldiers have left the ranks in the last year. Critics say that without an accurate count, the Army has an incomplete picture of military readiness.

Thoughts from Baghdad

'I Wish the U.S. Government Had Asked': Thoughts from Baghdad
On the fourth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, get the scoop from one of the country's strongest women and civil society leaders. Dr. Rashad Zidan answers OneWorlders' questions about sectarian divisions, the role of women, media portrayals, and much more.

In January you voted Rashad Zidan OneWorld's
Person of 2006. In February we gave you a
chance to ask Dr. Zidan about life in Baghdad,
politics, the U.S. role in Iraq, women's rights,
and much more.

As the fourth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of
Iraq passes (technically, it was yesterday), why not take a few
moments to find out what Dr. Zidan had to say about life in
the midst of the Iraq conflict.

Here are a few excerpts of the conversation:

Jeffrey Allen: At the big anti-war protest in Washington DC last
week I saw a sign that said "71% of Iraqi people want the U.S. to
leave by September." Do you think that's true? What do most Iraqi
people want the United States government to do?

Rashad Zidan: I wish the U.S government had asked most Iraqi
people this question before the invasion. This number was taken from
an American poll done in September 2006 and I think the percentage
of Iraqis who feel this way is really greater. In Iraq, the population is
about 25 million, and no more than 1 million supports the occupation.
This war has destroyed the infrastructure of our country. It has killed
hundreds of thousands of civilians, producing huge numbers of widows
and orphans with no one to take care of them. It has dissolved the Iraqi
army, opening the border to all types of insurgents armed with heavy
weapons, training criminals and militias who are above the law. In the
face of the misery of our daily lives, what can ordinary Iraqi people say
to the American occupiers?

Joe T.: Do you believe that the main problem is civil war? Or, is there
something else going on that keeps security from becoming a reality
in Iraq?

Rashad Zidan: From the first day of the occupation, we started hearing
these strange words, such as majority, minority, ethnic division, sectarian
war, etc...

"Moving A Nation..."

Recently I was honored to be asked to contribute a few answers to questions sent to me by Ilona Meagher for her book "Moving A Nation To Care". That honor was extended further when she used abit of what I had givin her in her pages of an outstanding, easy to read and understand book, that though looks small is loaded with a library of information, compiled by her and those who helped her from ePluribus Media.

I don't need to guess, for like myself long long ago, I doubt if many of those with Ilona, herself included, had given much thought to PTSD untill, what us Vietnam Vets promised long ago we would not allow to happen again Happened, another failed policy debacle of invading a country that did absolutely nothing to us and certainly it's citizens did not deserve the Death and Destruction we wrought upon them.

As we saw it coming we also were warning about what would happen if the policy were carried through, it was, and with Extreme Sadness we were right, not those who made the policy, as most everyone knows now!
So everything that happens in a War Theater, especially one to be warned as another Guerilla War, has happened, and continues to be so. Including the damage done to minds of those serving and those living in those theaters!

Press Release New OEF/OIF Combat PTSD Book 'Moving a Nation to Care' a Timely Resource for Citizens, Military Families and Veterans

"Moving a Nation to Care brings desperately needed attention to the devastating hidden costs of war. Anyone who wants to 'support the troops' should read this important book," Paul Rieckhoff, author of Chasing Ghosts, and Executive Director of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA).

Steve Robinson, director of veterans affairs at Veterans for America. "If it creates debate in Congress or causes a parent to fight for the healthcare of their loved one then it has accomplished its mission."

Trish Wood, author of What Was Asked of Us: An Oral History of the Iraq War by the Soldiers Who Fought It, adds that "This is a must read for returning troops and their families. Ilona Meagher's book will save lives."

You can read the full Press Release and download the pdf to distribute or for yourself at link above.

As I said above PTSD wasn't even in my mind in my younger years, though I was viewing the results of at differant times in my life, without understanding except knowing the incidents that happened to cause changes in the people they happened to had something to do with the tragic events.

It wasn't even in anybody elses vocabulary as those four letters, PTSD, and words 'Post Traumatic Stress Disorder', didn't exists together. The other names, like 'battle fatigue' or 'combat stress', as to Wars/Conflicts, were heard but that's all, they came than just left. If someone carried it with them, further into their lives, other reasons were brought up and only an occasional "Well he served in the War!" would be mentioned but not really understood. And as most know, many veterans of conflicts will rarely discuss what they saw or did. Most of that has to do with the 'How does one speak the words that others will understand without them having the experiance of something that can't be explained., existing in a hell on earth'.

I had an interest in how the mind works, including mine, from a young age. That blob in our heads does amazing things and really is a wonder. Didn't have the deeper drive to pursue an education in Psychology or related fields, as even in other interests, but did read books and magazines on the subjects it covers.

I've known people, friends and others, who had tramatic experiances, from my young years to the present, who have changed, from minor changes to almost complete personal changes right after their experiances happened. In my younger years you couldn't really put a name on it, you just knew that the experiances had something to do with the changes. Now one can give a name to what is happening, PTSD, just four letters makes everyone understand, everyone that is who has been paying attention.

I had a couple of uncles, and others I've known, who served in WWII, and Korea, that latter in life the silent trauma they had been experiancing finally came out completely breaking them from what they were, triggered by some experiance years after their initial nightmares started. But again there wasn't a specific label to place on what they were going through, so recent events were looked at not the past traumatic events.

After joining the Navy in '67, and some how ending up serving on shore bases my whole 4yr tour, a Naval Air station in Mississippi for a year, a small Naval base at the mouth of the Panama Canal, Pacific side, across the bridge from Panama city for a year and a half, I got orders to Counter Insurgency Training prior to a tour in 'Nam.

Right from the beginning, where boot starts making the changes to Military thinking, even in Navy boot, from that which you've been taught or observed since childhood, by parents and others, religious teachings, history teachings, etc. etc. etc., you are prepared to confront the enemies{?] that exist in the world. Back than it was mostly a Political Ideology that was the enemy{?} and those that lived under that umbrella of that Political Ideology Leadership.

Those military mind changes are attempts to soften the experiances of a War one might be sent to serve Your Country in, amoung other needed militay mindsets.
Once PTSD was recognized, and my tour in the Military and 'Nam, all those past reflections of family and friends, and their changes, started rushing back, I could finally understand what was causing them to start acting completely differant from the way they had been before.

I even began to understand why some friends, who had served tours in 'Nam, came home only to volunteer to serve there again, some being killed on those second tours and a few on their third tours. What others had told me about how they had completely changed, after returning from their first tours, was made clearer. They couldn't live in a relative safer stable society, they had to rejoin their nightmares.
It also made it clearer as to why some, who serve in Military's, come out only to turn around and become Mercenaries in others Wars, Guns for Hire sans who's right or wrong. Mercenaries have been around as long as man's Wars and so has PTSD.

Visit Ilona's site PTSD Combat: Winning the War Within, and continue to visit, not only hers but the other sites now found easily with this tecnology, some linked from hers, relating to what can happen to those who serve in War Theaters and never forget the citizens who live in those Theaters.

Pick up a copy, or two, of Ilona's book Moving A Nation To Care. For it's a fresh referance work that is needed in these times and for the generations of now. To lead one into the studies that came before and the knowledge of those who created those studies. With hope that it will finally be studied even further as to cause, what happens to the mind, better care for those who suffer from, a better understanding of War, and how it can effect civilians who experiance traumatic events, along with a whole host of other related information.


Visit ePluribus Media, for I know that this group of folks who came together and took on the issue of PTSD and the returning Iraq/Afgan Troops, amoung other important issues of citizen journalism, like Ilona, will not be dropping this issue. Even as they research the many things that should be further studied in an ever growing complex world.

ePluribus Media Community

Visit the ePluribus Media Timelines, and if you find something relating to the timelines, contribute.

Donate, if you can, to help further their collective work, not only as to PTSD.

This is a subject, and book, not only to 'Move A Nation' but should be used to 'Move This World' for PTSD has no borders!

PTSD, can and does happen to more than Military Personal and Civilians of War Theaters! It can and will happen to many who face a traumatic experiance. This generation, and those to come, must grasp a further understanding of what happens to ones mind to better understand the causes of and the treatments for!

A few who suffer from their traumatic experiances, and you need only a few, carry those nightmares into their reality causing destructive behavior towards others creating even more victims of!

Let the present generations pick up, that which in mine was only started, and throughly get involved in the understanding needed, Please!
