Military Must Agree to Murder Americans as Re-enlistment Rules. BREAKING NEWS British Intelligence Reports Obama Military Takeover ! Senators Demand the Military Lock Up American Citizens in a “Battlefield” They Define as Being Right Outside Your Window. UPDATE III: The Senate rejected the Udall amendment 38-60. While nearly all Americans head to family and friends to celebrate Thanksgiving, the Senate is gearing up for a vote on Monday or Tuesday that goes to the very heart of who we are as Americans.
The Senate will be voting on a bill that will direct American military resources not at an enemy shooting at our military in a war zone, but at American citizens and other civilians far from any battlefield — even people in the United States itself. Senators need to hear from you, on whether you think your front yard is part of a “battlefield” and if any president can send the military anywhere in the world to imprison civilians without charge or trial. The Senate is going to vote on whether Congress will give this president—and every future president — the power to order the military to pick up and imprison without charge or trial civilians anywhere in the world.

American soldier admits to thrill kill in Afghanistan An US soldier admitted to a judge yesterday that it was a “bad decision” to fire a machine gun at an unarmed teenager while serving in Afghanistan in 2010.
Private Andrew Holmes, 21, pled guilty to the murder of a civilian yesterday, a year after initially proclaiming his innocence. Speaking in a military courtroom outside of Seattle, Washington on Thursday, Holmes took responsibility for the killing and also admitted to drug use and keeping a finger from the victim as a souvenir. The case may not ever have progressed to this point had Holmes not posed in front of the slain 15-year-old boy, mugging for the camera while holding up the head of the dead teenager. Holmes said he used a heavy machine gun to shoot but added that he has says Holmes, reports KPLU News.

Opinion A Veterans Affairs Canada policy that denies veterans funding for long-term care if they choose private care is both ludicrous and heartless. Marie Goodfellow of Red Deer, who is 102, has had her federal government long-term care funding cut off because she moved from Bethany CollegeSide, a facility run by a not-for-profit society, and into a private nursing home run by Home Nursing Service Inc. Her care now costs $3,400 a month, or $40,800 a year. In the past, Veterans Affairs covered half that cost. Not anymore. Goodfellow, who served as a nurse during the Second World War, and two other veterans in Home Nursing Service's care in Red Deer, have lost their federal benefits simply because they chose a private caregiver.
Marie Goodfellow's needs changed: She wanted more personal care and so her family moved her, to improve her quality of life. Canada to pull out of key NATO air defence program - Politics. The government of Canada intends to cut its participation in a NATO air surveillance program, CBC News has learned. The cuts have not yet been publicly announced, but sources tell CBC that Defence Minister Peter MacKay raised the issue with some allies at a NATO conference in Brussels, this week. The NATO Airborne Warning And Control System (AWACS) is a series of military airborne surveillance and mission control planes that provides the alliance the ability to monitor air space, and to control fighter aircraft patrolling the skies. The AWACS planes are staffed by a multi-national crew from alliance nations, including Canada. The planes have been in heavy use in the Libyan campaign, monitoring the skies above the war-torn country, and guiding fighter planes towards their targets.
It's not clear when Canada will end its participation in the program, but sources report the decision has apparently angered some allies. The apparent decision comes at an odd time.

Surge in applications for redundancy in the Army. 18 June 2011Last updated at 10:20 The Army has been inundated with requests for voluntary redundancy There has been a surge in applications for redundancy in the Army, figures obtained by the Daily Telegraph show.
The overall size of the Army is due to fall by 7,000 from a current strength of around 100,000 soldiers. In April the Army said it would make 1,000 soldiers redundant, hoping half of those would be voluntary, but has in fact had 900 applications. BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Beale says this will fuel concerns that the "brightest and best" may leave. The Army is seeking redundancies as part of its reaction to the Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR), which came out in October. It demanded cuts in numbers in the Army, Royal Navy and RAF. Among the 900 who have volunteered to leave are several officers who were earmarked for promotion - including two tipped to be future generals - and a number of experienced NCOs. Colonels queuing up.
