Trump And The Military-- A Very Bad Match

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 38 seconds ago
Mark Hertling is a retired Lt. General, who wrote, yesterday at CNN.com, that "If you ask people who *haven't* served in uniform what it takes to be a great military leader, many would say "strength," "toughness" or "courage." People who *have* served-- and particularly those who have had the honor of commanding-- will tell you there's a lot more to it. Leaders-- military or otherwise-- need character, intellect, vision, humility and will. Leaders also need empathy. In fact, this particular trait is discussed in detail in the publication *Army Leadership*... The doctrinal defini... more »

In 1935, the United States Military Bombed a Volcano

Michael Peck at The National Interest - 35 minutes ago
*Michael Peck* *History, Americas* [image: Reuters] Why? *Here's What You Need To Remember: *This would not the be last time that Mauna Loa would feel the wrath of American airpower. The U.S. Air Force returned to bomb Mauna Loa in 1975 and 1976, in an experiment using 2,000-pound bombs to divert lava flows. On December 27, 1935, the U.S. Air Force attacked a most fiery enemy ever: a Hawaiian volcano. Technically, it wasn't the air force in 1935, but the U.S. Army Air Corps. Nor had Congress declared war on the volcano, or passed an Authorization of Military Force Against Volca... more »

The Fate of a Closed Philosophy

Unknown at The Conservative Socrates - 45 minutes ago
A closed system of philosophy does not change willingly, and if it’s ruled by a confederacy of dunces (unwise and bureaucratic people), then it becomes all the more incapable of noticing its errors, examining new knowledge, reacting to new philosophical developments, and answering the questions posed by their detractors. Thus they become destined to fester within the walls of their closed fortress—they decline in isolation until all trace of them is extinguished.

Richard Hanania at The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Richard Hanania* *Security, Americas* If American leaders were really interested in protecting our democracy, they would forgo regime change overseas and remove incentives for election interference at home. This month, U.S. intelligence reported that Russia wants Donald Trump to win reelection, while China and Iran seek to help Joe Biden. Both sides of the political aisle have cited the report, claiming that one adversary or another would be happy if the other party takes power in January.

The coronavirus situation has prompted wholesale societal changes at every level, leading many to proclaim that wearing masks, social distancing and avoiding face-to-face human contact should be the “new normal.” But recently, stats directly from the CDC’s own website have contradicted the prevailing media-given numbers that make it seem as if all coronavirus-related deaths are caused directly by the virus, placing the number of deaths attributed only to the virus at a paltry 6%. The other 94% had at least one, or multiple co-morbidities, casting doubt on whether COVID-19 shou... more »

AltHealth Admin at AltHealthWorks.com - 5 hours ago

AltHealth Admin at AltHealthWorks.com - 5 hours ago

This was found more than 40 years ago, and yet not much has changed in the way th... more »
