With an election book by a SEAL, real or imaginary, out now, it is time for an honest discussion of “Special Operations” from someone who has actually sat through “mission planning” sessions involving three continents.

Writing for a defense publication has its issues. I am restricted from writing on things I work on myself. Come to think about it, I should be thanked.

Raised on war propaganda, political claptrap and only mildly suspicious that America had been overthrown in the Coup de Etat on November 22, 1963, I was going to do my part.

Every military and intelligence operation has a "cover and deception" aspect. Most have several, backup stories to use if one fails, like the inflatable tanks that Patton's "empty army" used in Britain in 1944 to fool the Germans.

She walked onto the campus of the West LA Veterans Hospital in her Anne Taylor outfit and instantly could feel her throat tighten. "You OK Ma'am?" said one of the VA tour guides, a young male half her age.

Former CIA Director Panetta condemns Marines peeing on dead Taliban with "utterly deplorable" comment. Ain't that the pot calling the kettle black? .

Did you know that Osama bin Laden quite probably had been awarded civilian and military decorations by the United States? Osama bin Laden is responsible for more high risk intelligence and combat support operations on behalf of the US than any member of our military today. Sources indicate that his equivalent rank, when representing the United States government to the Mujihideen was that of Colonel and that he qualified for combat awards including, not only the Bronze Star but multiple Silver Stars as well.

As many of you already know, I volunteer at the "National Veterans Hotline" a few nights per month. The hotline website can be found at www.Veterans911.com Last night, I was on duty for close to four hours and during that time I talked to over twenty callers.

It really isn't funny, I guess but you leave yourself open for such thing when you choose to deceive. The lies started long ago, long before even the staged 9/11 demolitions and simulated hijackings, yes, we know that too.

I was sent an email by a veteran who had lost his job last summer, and has been searching hard for a place to find work.

I seldom get moved about a movie, or a cause, beyond the confines of my own home, where I take time for my own kids every day, day after day, week after week.

I could have done 5 years in prison...though I think I behaved in a civilized manner toward the Vietnamese I didn't kill.

I recently read a story online about a little 8-year old girl from Israel and the trouble she encounters just going to her local elementary school everyday because some ultra-orthodox Jews living in a city called Beit Shemesh take offense to the way she dresses .

"Yes, Children are being Killed the dissidents say"   NOTICE:  GRAPHIC VIDEOS ARE EMBEDDED IN THIS STORY.    by Ken Smith   I admitted upfront in an earlier post that I know even less than...

A friend of mine called and said: We should try to find ways to advance ourselves with our allies and even our perceived enemies by sharing our knowledge of prosthetics.

War is a racket, Afghanitan the worst in our history. The "War is a Racket" part I borrowed from Smedley Butler and will continue to do so. As for Afghanistan, I am supposed to be an expert on the region, have been brief and have briefed top military experts on the region.

Two VT columnists, one from America and one from Pakistan exchanged ideas, concepts and concerns. This posting reflects questions and answers that are important to both of our countries.

A new Veterans nonprofit, "Veterans Workshop" has begun their nationwide recruitment for Volunteers who can assist with answering calls from American Veterans via a new Veterans911 hot-line.

The Continental Marines were the Marine Force of the American Colonies during the American Revolutionary War.

Military suicides have increased since the start of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to a study conducted by the Center for a New American Security.

A veteran commits suicide every 80 minutes, according to a study published Monday.

I was called recently by someone I know, who asked me to talk to a veteran that he knew who was in trouble.

There are hidden wounds soldiers have always experienced upon returning home from every war- this documentary will shed Light and Healing on these many issues through the Voices of Veterans and their Families.

Like many Americans I follow the war in Afghanistan though the media. I watch our troops perform their duties with honor and courage.

"It took Obama two years to find his own birth certificate, how long will it take to find Usama bin Laden's death certificiate?"

Tensions between Pakistan and the USA are escalating as the two sides are blatantly playing a blame game over the terror love child neither party wishes to acknowledge.

The Zionist/Globalist bogey man, ridiculed as Al-CIA-duh by the free-thinking Internet Intelligentsia, remains the gang that not only can't shoot straight, but that inevitably shoots the Muslim world in the back. As a former Army Opposing Force's (OPFOR) Controller, I view Al-Qaeda as a nominally red (enemy) force that inevitably acts in support of blue (allied) strategic objectives. If there were no Al-Qaeda, then we would have to create one to keep the Global War going.

Anyone who accepts the official version of this event obviously has lost the ability to tell bad TV fiction from reality.

The annivesary of 9/11 is being turned into a carnival, a celebration of crime, a celebration organized by those responsible for planning and executing the greatest attack on American soil yet.

Bin Laden denied that he was "involved in the 11 September attacks" — the FBI never claimed that he was.

This video makes up one small piece of evidence leading investigators to Tel Aviv when looking for the real perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks. You see, this video was prepared and passed on to Fox News prior to 9/11.

In the end, an inexorable end, we will have bred generations, Orwellian generations, capable of endless cruelty. Watch the news, what news we have. Nothing can hide it.

Navy Seals from the Osama bin Laden operation died in what is reported as a helicopter crash in Afghanistan. The chances of this story being true is almost nil. The chances of this being a staged coverup is over 80%. We believe these people were murdered to silence them. This is why.

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch has played a significant role... 9/11 terrorist attacks, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the economic meltdown.

I remember real combat. First times out, paralyzing fear. After that, you just don't care anymore. After that, you are dead inside, a "dead" that never goes away. Real combat vets call the look that comes with that "the thousand yard stare." I can kill someone as easy as looking at them. We all can but we work to convince people otherwise. We all became actors.

What Netanyahu actually did was drag it out of his pants and hose them down. Why did he do it? The answer is simple, because he could? Was it wrong? Caligula put his horse in the Roman senate. American's never get the whole horse, just the horse's ass

Fox has generally been little more than a propaganda outlet, a professional "disinformation" service crafted to serve a globalist agenda. Their purpose has been to run interference for financial criminals and political extremists, totalitarian oligarchs in the US and to provide cover for Israeli war crimes.

This system is totally controlled by American Zionists whose first priority is Israel, not the USA. Zionist Slaves, the American people are forced to live according to principles and laws laid by them.

Drug empire would be built in Afghanistan churning out enough dirty money to buy every "free election" in the world. Interfere and get tied to Nazi orgs run by Israeli intelligence through ties to Jewish lobbies in USA.

President Obama is now exploring avenues for a faster withdrawal from Afghanistan. American is flat broke, busted and our allies in Afghanistan have proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt. that they are far worse than our enemies.

For those of you who are regular readers, my absence has been noted, some with consternation, others with relief. Most of this time has been spent in Nigeria, attending the inauguration of President Goodluck Jonathan and conferring with members of his government.

It has been over two weeks since the orchestrated ever-changing Bin Laden Death. The question of what happened remains the same except it doesn’t seem to matter any longer.
