4:38 pm - Holy crap!
|
Today I found out about the Japanese having a Submarine that could launch planes than they sent to attack the West Coast, but the mission was called off due to the surrender.
There was a specific plane made just for this task (being launched from a Sub) the Aichi M6A Seiran and it is mind-blowing (to me) that the Japanese were still developing experimental aircraft and subs in the last months before they surrendered.
I never knew there was a Sub the could launch three planes after crossing the entire Pacific during the Second World War. I didn't even know that the concept of the Submarine/Aircraft Carrier had been studied since 1922.
I wonder why (other than the ENORMOUS engineering problems) is no longer being studied. There is a saying that the Navy has two kinds of ships if a war with a peer-level enemy breaks out, "Submarines" and "Targets". I guess that today the planes would be drones controlled from either the sub or by satellite, and the more I think about it, the less I believe that this is not being studied or implemented. One way or another, this was a pretty informative session of procrastinating on the internet when I should be studying or getting ready for work.

11:42 pm - Not until just now
|
I was off line / away from news until late,
I only just heard about Fort Hood. How many total hours have I spent sitting in an SRC waiting to clear to deploy/redeploy with my fellow soldiers? 40?, 50? 60? It is too easy to imagine someone pulling out a pistol or two and just starting to shoot everyone.
The thing that blows my mind is... 12 dead, 31 wounded.... that is at the very least 43 bullets. With a 15-round pistol that is AT LEAST two re-loads. (They mention another pistol in the report - early as it is). This isn't some Infantry soldier fresh back from MOUT school, this is a Major/Psychiatrist. I am sure we will hear more about this but, my lord...
Thank you everyone who donated blood in and around Ft. Hood. My sympathies to everyone who lost someone when they were not fully prepared for the possibility of losing them - and to everyone who has months or years of recovery ahead of them after being shot.

Oh Lord... Why?... Why did they put this up in my town?

2:42 pm - George and Me, the Saga Continues.....
|
One last painful assrape from the outgoing administration.
As many of you know, Senator Jim Webb, the Democrat from Virginia elected in 2006, proposed the new Post-9/11 Expansion of the G.I. Bill of Rights. This restored the educational power of the G.I. Bill to levels similar to what it was when my father finished his time in the military back in the 1950s.
This expansion was opposed by both President Bush and Candidate John McCain. McCain eventually abstained from voting on the issue - stating that extending educational opportunities to veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan might discourage them from continuing military service. Despite the opposition of the two most prominent Republicans of 2006, the bill passed the Senate and became law. The President could not have vetoed the bill with as many votes as it carried.
These benefits were going to begin August 1, 2009 - with much fanfare from veterans, educators, and Americans in general....unless the outgoing Bush Administration could find SOME way to throw a wrench into the entire affair. Remember, the entire premise of the Republican Party is that "Government always fails at everything" - something they like to repeat enough that every soldier, policeman, fireman, judge, teacher, and so on knows that the Republican party personally opposes the services they provide to their country (at least that is what I get out of their often repeated message). To keep up this hatred of our government and nation, it is important that they sabotage any and all programs they have any influence in.
In this case, the administration of the new benefits for hundreds of thousands of vets were going to be handled by less than 750 individuals. The VA's own staff brought up that this was going to result in a "clusterf*ck" and that they were requesting the resources to make the process work ahead of time. Outsourcing was discussed, but ultimately beaten back by the VA committees and by the lobby of the American Legion. What finally happened was that the Administration did NOT grant the VA the additional resources it needed to process the new benefits.
As of last week, about 11% of claims have been processed. This means that if they started school full time Aug 15th, as I did, that 89% of those vets have been operating without funds they were expecting for almost 2 months. That means starting to get nasty letters from the bursar's office and electric company and such. God help you if you have kids during this process. Some media reports are getting out there quoting the main concern of vets, that if you were told 3 - 4 weeks, then 4 - 6 weeks, and the latest message is 6 - 8 weeks to expect some kind of processing or payment, then you really have no capacity to plan for when or if this benefit will ever be paid. We have already seen a doubling of the expectation of time to process, and that means expecting things WELL into the middle of the semester.
Well, the VA responded to this interestingly. With a Facebook Page to Answer Questions followed VERY shortly with a 'Call for Civility on our Facebook Page'. Since people who had enrolled in school full time were now on their second month without any kind of income - and the timeframe they were told to wait had more than doubled - and they were less than happy with the situation. Now there is another program to issue a "relief check" of up to $3000 that will be deducted from the theoretical future benefits that will be processed if the veteran has not received anything as of Oct 2nd.
As of this time, I am going to hold off on the "relief check". I don't want ANY additional information or activity to slow down the final processing of my benefits - and I am not starving or without books or such - and the university has not threatened to disenroll me or stab me in my sleep yet. Still a clusterf*ck. I am quickly losing the security of having the specter of an Evil Laughing Bush and Cheney to cling to when forces bigger than myself bring about bad events in my life. When my 401(k)'s value was nearly cut in half, when gas hit $4 a gallon, when I was in Iraq without a clear mission or purpose, when I lost friends who were clearing routes for KBR convoys, when we were acting on bad intelligence obtained from bad interrogation practices, I always had that image of Cheney smiling to cling to - like "As soon as this asshole is gone, things will be better". OK, he's gone - start getting better!
I catch myself thinking "I go to school full time, I work, I pay my taxes, I'm an A student, I served my country... I've done my part - now the other side needs to come through. Deliver on your promises - that is all that I am asking here, come through on the promises that you have made to me." and that is a more self-centered "woe is me" frame of mind than I like to be in. Hopefully in a week or so things will process and I will be in a more positive mood.

10:49 pm - My Life as of Late:
|
What has been going on with me: An update as of 9/27/2009:
I am now:
1) A Full Time Student)
2) A Substance Abuse Technician
3) Involved in three research projects at The University
4) Involved in some local Political Groups
How this came to be:
Over this summer, after my trip to Dallas/Austin/Mexico, I was in talks with a PMC to go back overseas to the Middle East and pull security for one of their facilities. However, political plans changed and the mission that we were going to support did not come to be. This is probably for the best. From 2002 to 2008 I spent Three years training for and deployed to Iraq as a soldier, and 2 years in Iraq as a civilian for a different companies. I need to be American again.
So, in July I began to transition back to the life of a Student. This consisted of applying for the post 9/11 G.I. Bill and finding a school in my state that offered the classes I was looking for. Only the UCMO in Warrensburg fit this bill, which works out well as it is conveniently close to my hometown of Kansas City, Missouri.
I am now a full time student finishing up work on another degree and exploring either going to Graduate School or getting back into "The Game." I just got back the first round of exams for my classes this week. I am - for the time being - a straight A student this semester. Sorry, strangers on the internet, but I am wicked proud of this and had to tell somebody.
I also needed to find work where I could simultaneously earn some gas/beer/ramen money and gain practical experience in my field. I started my job full-time (for a while) at Pathways Behavioral Health Center. Our facility helps people with detoxification and addiction recovery. In Missouri in 2009 that means we mostly treat people for Methamphetamines and Alchoholism, with a growing number of prescription drug abusers. I like the work so far, but I don't feel confident in predicting how I will do over time. It looks great for building experience and perhaps making some connections, but it is by no means financially rewarding.
After another month or two, I should go down to being a part-time employee where I work, and that should help with my studies quite a bit. I am involved in three research projects with the University and I am slightly involved with some local Democrats. Time is a right now a very precious commodity. I have still somehow found time to exercise regularly and play through Metal Slug 2, X, and 3 (haven't done parts 1,4, or 5 yet) This is done mostly by not having any kind of a social life whatsoever. I've been flirting (mutually, I think) with a few women I have found interesting, but I really lack the time to date ANY of them. In a perfect world I would write them thank you notes for helping feed my fragile ego while I am not dating anyone.
I am living in some Apartments owned by the University just off campus. They are MUCH nicer than what I was expecting for the money. I have a 5 minute drive to class and a 15 minute drive to work. It isn't bad at all. My income/expenses during this period are rather tight - if I do not want to dip into savings - so I have almost made an art form out of frugality. This involved rediscovering the generic brands of things, extreme energy conservation, Spartan cooking and the Dollar Stores, but it feels pretty good - I am not helping fund telemarketers, TV ads that scream at me or doing excessive harm to the environement. I DO miss living as large as I have for the past couple years - but I really don't have the time to appreciate that anyways.
So that is my life as of this moment - feel free to comment/advise/ridicule any aspect of it if you are so inclined.

4:07 am - Congratulations!!!!!
|
Congratulations to the RIGHT WING HATE MACHINE of LIMBAUGH/BECK/O'REILLY/FOX NEWS for...
INSPIRING THE MURDER OF YET ANOTHER AMERICAN!!!
This time it was the Hanging of a U.S. Census Worker in Kentucky. The murderers even scrawled the word "FED" on his chest when they hung the 51 year old from a tree, he was found Sept 12th - Glenn Beck's Day! That'll show the Obama government to try and count the population of the State of Kentucky!!! I would like to issue a special thanks to Minnesota's Representative Michele Bachmann for stirring up fear about the Census... this wouldn't have been possible without your efforts!!!
The right wing hate machine has really been working overtime since it looked like Republicans were going to lose the 2008 election, generating hours and hours of hate and paranoia every day to work people into a murderous rage. Thanks to their hard work over the last year, the list of people they have inspired to take up arms and murder their fellow citizens just grow and grow!!!
Right Wing Hate Machine Murders:
There was the inspired Mass shooting at the children's pageant in a church in Tennessee in 2008, the shooter even left a manifesto behind to let everyone know that he was inspired by right wing hate.
Then there was the inspired murder of Dr. George Tiller in a church in Kansas. O'reilly put alot of time and effort into making this happen, talking up his "Tiller the Baby Killer" bit again and again. But it worked!!! Chalk up another murder to the right wing hate machine!
Shortly thereafter was the inspired murder of three members of Pittsburgh's police force who thought that "Obama's gun ban was on the way". He took the initiative and did his share of murdering his fellow Americans before those nasty Liberals could take assault rifles away from responsible gun owners like him who only want only to exercise their constitutional right to murder the police.
And now, the inspired murder of a census worker on Glenn Beck Day!
If they keep up their current pace of inspiring hate and paranoia against other Americans, it won't be long till we get the big result.... ANOTHER OKLAHOMA CITY!!!! The right wing was REALLY REALLY proud of itself for inspiring this, and it really hurt their feelings when September 11th came along and another group of terrorists murdered Americans in greater numbers than the Right Wing Hate Machine could. Since then they have been trying REALLY REALLY hard to remind Americans who is the greatest hate and murder generator of them all!!!
All these people inspired to murder and it's only a matter of time before the next Oklahoma City....
THANK YOU RIGHT WING HATE MACHINE
AND YOUR SPONSORS WHO KEEP YOUR HATE ON THE AIR!!!
KEEP INSPIRING THE MURDER OF MY FELLOW AMERICANS!!

2:59 am - So... this dude running for office:
|
So there is this guy from Rolla, Missouri running for congress. Moderate Democrat running in a politically neutral area, but against a Moderate Republican. Generations-long Missourian, local educator, etc... What makes this awesome, however, is that he is a former Ranger and Special Forces Operator. There are NOT many former SOF in Congress. Especially SOF veterans of Iraq and/or Afghanistan. This guy looks like he could change that.
And he GETS SOF! He contributed on a panel discussing the future of contractors withing military operations, and discussions about "BattleSpace" and "Convoy OKs" and "24 hours advance clearance for ops" and so on came up, and he defended the necessary nimbleness of SOF units and separation from conventional forces. The difference between my first and second Iraq tours could have been a case study in when this principle is or isn't followed. The political leadership that determines if and how SOF will be funded and supported NEEDS to grasp this lesson and soon. Conventional military frameworks can neutralize the capabilities of SOF almost as well as IEDs.
Here is something he wrote on "Nanomanagement" which was about the management challenges of an high-information battlespace:
"Occam’s razor might explain a third and most troubling cause for persistent monitoring by distant superiors—they can, so they do. In professions, especially in the military, senior officers rise through the ranks. Now at the pinnacle of their careers, the tasks of generals shift toward tasks of budget, management, external relations, long-term planning and administration. In short, as professionals rise in organizations, they do less work that forms the heart of the profession.
The ability to nanomanage now allows these senior officers a choice—work on the budget and watch endless PowerPoint slides, or fire a Hellfire missile and watch the action on a plasma. When taking action defines the profession, where the warrior ethos is inculcated, technology now allows those distanced to drift into the fight. Indeed, with the industrial revolution, complexity, distance and scale forced generals to retreat from the front lines. Today, however, the information revolution allows them to stride back to the virtual front." (Sowers, 2008)
-CTC Sentinal, Vol 1, Issue 5, April 2008
Holy sh*t! Give the kid a gold star!
One of the worst examples of military leadership I found out about when I was a contractor in Iraq was the "review" of an NCO who was leading a convoy that had been attacked. There was UAV footage of the event. This NCO was brought before his leadership (including some of his leadership which he had nearly zero contact with up to this point) and was shown this UAV footage and asked - "Why DIDN'T you do this?" or "Why DIDN'T you do that?" and it a very painful and pointless exercise.
In my opinion (for what it's worth) the NCO and his soldiers performed VERY well under VERY challenging circumstances. However, given hours to think about it - AND A GOD'S EYE PERSPECTIVE OF THE BATTLE that can be watched again and again, his leadership could come up with scenarios that might have had even better outcomes. Eventually JAG became involved and sided with the NCO, he did the best anyone could be expected to do in that situation.
Why did their leadership put their soldiers through this? There are defensible reasons - lessons could be learned, accountability has to be maintained, discipline is critical to unit effectiveness.... but there is also the indefensible - a day of looking at UAV footage of a firefight beats a day putting together powerpoint slides. That personal dimension to the situation should not be ignored.
So, I'm supporting this guy for office (my support is basically limited to pursuading VoteVets and the College Dems to support him - he is not in my district). He is running against an incumbent with alot of support - but crazy stuff happens all the time so who knows? I don't know alot of this guys positions on issues that are important to Missourians, but I'll try and find out. His website is http://www.sowersforcongress.com/, and my only complaint so far is that this candidate,and his bride to be, are a FAR TOO YOUNG AND ATTRACTIVE COUPLE to fit into the Washington crowd. On the other hand, what a ringing endorsement of Missouri they would make with their presence! Missouri! It's not all meth-addicts and morbidly obese people wandering around the Wal-Mart!

12:45 pm - Health Care Policy Input form a Random Jackass
|
Six parts of the Ideal Health Plan according to me, some random jackass:
1) A Public Option that resembles Medicare in terms of reimbursement that is available to every American if they so choose. No limits on income, disability, or whatever. Every singe American Citizen can buy into it. Funded by premiums, but run Federally. Individuals OR employers or groups could buy into this. Once this exists it will become on of the most popular things the government has done in 50 years.
2) No individual mandate. I would prefer that this not exist without either significant subsidies OR without a strong public option or both. The worst of all possible outcomes would be an individual mandate that would force individuals who could not afford it to buy crappy for-profit insurance without an meaningful subsidy because it is the law.
3) An employer mandate. This is a huge thing - currently we are in a situation where employers who wish to provide insurance to their employees are undercut by employers who choose not to. Size and other factors can play into this, deductions etc... but the important part is that if you work - you should be able to get health insurance. This become affordable if a public option is out there.
4) An end to recisssion. Once the insurance company starts taking your premiums - they should have to provide you coverage. The end - no time-machine paperwork scouring in an attempt to deny you coverage AFTER you have been paying for it but only when you started to need it.
5) An end to pre-existing condition exclusion. This MUST exist to avoid pushing all of the sick to the public option. I expect the insurance companies to find a way to play with rates to make pre-existing conditions effectively excluded, if not explicity excluded.
6) Stronger regulations on the insurance companies. This has been discussed but unless agents are fielded with badges and guns and the ability to arrest people and prison sentences are involved for insurance agents and executives who systematically violate the law - I do not see it happening. If you use fraud to make the company money - the agent gets a bonus. If that company then is caught, a fine is paid by the company - but the agent still gets to keep the bonus (those get paid in cash). Only a trip to ass-rape prison really changes the risk/benefit ratio - and even then enforcement has to be better than the spotty enforcement of insurance companies we have seen so far.
7) Taxation of ridiculously lavish heatlh care packages. Any insurance plan that covers spa days should be taxed as income. This is a no brainer. It also would provide some revenue to offset some of the costs of the plan.
I might not be just a random jackass. I have worked in Health Care, for an Insurance Company, and for an Insurance Regulatory body. I have been a consumer of private health insurance AND the VA. I eat, drink, and breathe politics. What is best of the average health care consumer, most employers, and our nation's long term fiscal health are all listed above. They are also fairly obvious to any group that has looked into the issue. It happens to be the opposite of what is best for a handful of the biggest and most corrupt insurance companies.

7:27 am - The Public Option
|
Man, I've worked in the health care field and been into politics forever, so this is kind of a big deal to me:
Here is why the public option MUST be part of any reform:
#1) It's good policy. A self-funding health care provider that competes with the private insurers that every American in every county can buy into and that is based on the Medicare model is the best policy for the health and welfare of the American people. Period. That should be the end of the debate. But policy isn't everything.

4:58 am - Turn up the contrast
|
Here is the bullshit version of the war in Afghanistan:
OMG! IT'S AN AWESOME VIDEO GAME!!! IT'S JUST LIKE CALL OF DUTY 4! SIGN ME UP!!!!
MY RECRUITER TOLD ME THAT IF I ENLIST NOW I GET 2 EXTRA LIVES AND WALLHACKING!!!
And here is the reality of the war in Afghanistan:
This August was the deadliest month for U.S. forces in Afghanistan so far. The second most tragic month for casualties on record was the previous month - July 2009.
As an American, as a veteran and as a halfway decent human being, I feel like we owe it to recruits to do a more honest job of attracting people to serve their country. Maybe I'm over-reacting (I do that sometimes), maybe it's the game-like visuals and on-screen display effects or maybe it's that I've been spending alot of time around Generation Xbox lately. It is easy to forget that there has been Americans fighting in Afghanistan since these young adults were nine years old* There are video games about this war for consoles that aren't even in production anymore. No, I'm not over-reacting. I've been downrange, I've played video games about being downrange - it's not the same damned thing and we shouldn't ever lead the new kids into thinking it is.

6:48 am - BAM!
|
Baitallah Meshud is claimed dead. This is the rare occasion when drone missile strikes have hit someone everybody has heard of.
This is a game-changing event. Whoever steps up to fill the vacuum in the Taliban will be far more likely to concede demands to the Pakistani Government and NATO. This is significant because a governing coalition that includes former Taliban elements is likely the only way Afghanistan will be stable enough for NATO forces to leave someday.
Cooperation from these same elements is also how any Al Qaeda elements that may still be in the region would get turned over. Big win, and a kind of validation for the "Send Robot Planes to kill the enemy" strategy. This was not something I was in love with - the Civilian/Target ratio for this operation has been far higher than anything that would be tolerated if the civilians being killed were not third world poor people.
If anyone has differing opinions or additional insight as to what this means, I'd love to hear it.

I felt I needed to comment on this, as I mentioned his story before.
The Navy released information that the remains of Scott Speicher were found in Iraq. This man grew up in Kansas City and eventually was shot down in Iraq in the first Gulf War. He was MIA for 18 years.
I wish his family and loved ones peace. His family and friends remained diligent for almost 20 years pushing the Military and Civilian agencies to resolve Speicher's status. Their efforts, and the efforts of everyone in the Department of Defense that helped them over the years, finally paid off after all this time and I wish them the best.
At this time 86 servicemen and women from Missouri and 46 servicemen and women from Kansas have lost their lives in the more recent Iraq war, I wish their families peace as well.
I also grew up in the Kansas City area and spent a year on a Contingency Operating Base named in honor of Scott Speicher. I've always felt a connection to this story, and I am glad that his loved ones finally will know the resting place of this man.

For the love of god read this article if you haven't already
From the Chicago NBC Affiliate
Whoever titled the article "Wienermobile penetrates Wisconsin home" deserves a Pulitzer right now. God bless you Mr. "BJ Lutz". Whether his name is a childish pseudonym or a happy coincidence, the article reads as if he had been waiting your entire life to use just-subtle-enough-to-get-published language about a giant representation of a food/phallus crashing into something.
I've never claimed to be the most mature person on the planet. I've never been the lone serious person in a giggling crowd of teenagers, and moments like these are as if the Creator has personally reached down from the heavens to make sure his children have smiles and mirth on this day. Like the scene from the Sistine Chapel, but involving fiberglass motorized wieners.

3:43 am - Average Americans Are Smarter Than WP Editors
|
Sometimes I overlook the collective wisdom of my fellow citizens.
So William "Making the World A Crappier Place Every Time He Speaks Or Writes Anything" Kristol writes his usual wrong moronic drivel in the Washington Post in response to Barack Obama's Sunday Op-Ed about the state of the Ecomony.
Bill repeats his standard "Nanny State", "Central Planning", "Condensending" yada yada.... you've all heard and read this B.S. a million times before.
But the Comments Section is WONDERFUL! Nearly every post is some variation of "F*ck You, Retard!" or "You've Always Wrong About Everything, Retard!" or similar sentiment (they refrain from using the actual term 'retard' out of respect for the mentally challenged). Some even ask "Why is the Post paying you to write this sh*t?" and so on...
I've always been under the impression that somewhere there is a loyal fanbase of people SO F*CKING RETARDED that they can't wait for William "The Big Retard Who Smells Bad" Kristol to say his piece every Sunday. However, it now looks like a majority of Post readers that read his weekly retarded sh*t say to themselves "Why do they PAY for this retarded sh*t?".
JennofArk even gives a pretty good definition of Conservative Economics, as belief that "...the greatest goal of a democratic republic - which is supposed to represent all of us and serve the interests of all - is to make it easier for a small minority of us to own everything."
If only the Editorial Boards of our National Media were as smart as a few dozen random people flinging their unpaid opinions at the internet, William "Eats Poop and Touches Children" Kristol's stupid ideas wouldn't get more exposure than the ideas of the 299 million Americans who have clearer, more established and more verifiable opinions than Mr. Kristol.

11:59 am - The coolest person on the internets
|
So ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) crotchgoblin sent me this Craigslist post with a warning of "Hey, make sure you don't become this guy, OK?" and the advice is kind of relevant (I like letting myslef fall into the burly woodsman look now and then) but then I read his post:
I live deep in the woods, I Need woman to cook clean chop wood and take care of my other personal needs. "Must have job" I feel that one of us needs to have a job!
And I saw his pics:
I took notice that he does nothing except make demands of his ideal woman and mentions that he has no job. I realized then, at that moment, that THIS MAN HAS THE BIGGEST BALLS ON THE ENTIRE INTERNET.
I have written an Email to him letting him know he is the f*cking coolest person alive. I will tell you all how that turns out if he ever responds. If this Craigslist post gets him laid, then we know that there IS A GOD and that GOD LOVES THE BIG LEBOWSKI. That's all.
