The SWAT team that murdered Iraq War veteran Jose Guerena in his home near Tucson kept a medical team waiting for more than an hour as the 26-year-old father bled to death, and then “sent them away,” reports Tucson ABC affiliate KGUN.
Jose Guerena survived two combat tours of Iraq, only to become a casualty of the Regime’s longest war — the one waged against its domestic subjects in the name of drug prohibition. The former Marine was slaughtered by a SWAT team during a May 5 assau
The US military on Monday withdrew its fighter jets from the international air campaign in Libya, officials said, after NATO asked Washington to keep up bombing raids for another 48 hours.
The United States will deploy additional amphibious ships to the Mediterranean, the military said on Friday, as part of the Obama administration’s plans for responding to ongoing violence in Libya.
To say this is a busy time for the U.S. military is an understatement: Iraq, Afghanistan, helping Japan recover from its greatest postwar crisis, and now Libya.
Again, that would be -- will be? -- the very point of any type of Western military intervention in Libya: to kill a popular, democratic movement that is at present beyond the control of the imperial militarists along the Potomac.
Bradley Manning’s attorney, David Coombs, writes about the true reason Bradley Manning is being stripped each night and forced to report naked each morning in the same way Iraqi prisoners were tortured at Abu Graib:
For the first time in nearly 20 years, members of the U.S. military might have to pay more for healthcare. Some say tightening budgets and ever-escalating personnel costs are setting up a fight inside the Pentagon budget: people versus machines.
Indeed, top officials continue to insist that they are mulling different options for how to use military force against Libya, and while some are warning that it might be hasty, more troops and warships continue to be moved into the area.
Over the past few years the US military has aggressively ramped up its commitment to battlefield robots. Now the Pentagon is forging ahead with fantastic plans to build robot armies. By 2015 it's expected that up to one-third of America's fighting
