War

I was skeptical of the big reduction in unwanted sexual contact reports in the military, and now a senator has accused the pentagon of covering up the real numbers.

ISIS and al Qaeda can't rule for the same reason communists couldn't.
"“If we don’t make a military stand in SE Asia,” was the consensus, “the Reds will take the entire region.” So it looked in 1967. So we hear again today. Just replace “Reds” by al-Qaida or ISIS."
That's why the only way to win the war on terror is to stop fighting it.

US accused of exposing Marshall Islands natives to radiation to study radiation poisoning.
"Some use the term ‘savage’ to refer to people from primitive cultures, but nuclear experimentation pushed savagery to new levels. In the 1950s, the U.S. conducted 67 atomic and hydrogen bomb tests in the Marshall Islands, vaporizing islands and exposing entire populations to fallout. The islanders on Rongelap received near fatal doses of radiation from one test, and were then moved onto a highly contaminated island to serve as human guinea pigs for 30 years." 
That's abominable.

The US ignores the murder of opposition leaders in Ukraine and sends money, equipment and US troops to support the murderers.

The Texas Mohammad cartoon gunmen were well known to the FBI. One even posted a threat online.
