An Idea Whose Time Has Never Gone:
Seattle Post-Intelligencer Editorial
Published on Sunday, November 25, 2007
RADICAL ETHICS: NO BUCKS FROM WAR
Just less than a year from now, Americans will choose a new president. After years of debilitating public distrust, President Bush could assure a better atmosphere for his successor by adopting a rather singular idea, one that is an odd combination of radical thinking and good old American common sense.
President Bush (and, ideally, Vice President Dick Cheney, given his power) ought to promise not to accept any profit from war. In doing so, they would set a new, higher standard of White House ethics that might foster more rational public discourse on issues of war and peace.
The radical part of this idea is mainly its origin with Michael Masley, a colorful, bitingly humorous anti-war activist (he calls himself the nation's "artist general") who has been trying to get the media, Congress, anybody to ask Bush to promise never to accept any profits flowing from any military action he authorizes. But this left-wing, left-coast idea actually reaches into the heartland and history of the country. Americans have always had a healthy skepticism about unholy influence by money and power on military and foreign policy decisions. Indeed, great presidents have voiced the same concerns when they have warned about foreign entanglements (Washington), war profiteers (FDR) or the sway of the military-industrial complex (Eisenhower).
As much as we opposed the misguided Iraq war, we never much liked the "blood-for-oil" rhetoric. The administration could turn down some of the heat with a lifetime, no-war-profit promise. Bush's most ardent detractors (who actually might think the administration was deluded not just by neocon fantasies about promoting democracy but also by a desire to pump up profits of companies with which they have been connected) might find the chances laughably unrealistic. Perhaps, perhaps not.
Bush is said to believe history will look more kindly than contemporaries on the war, an idea that may not be entirely fanciful. Setting a new ethical course for himself and, by example, his successors might help clear the air for re-evaluation.
But even if this administration and Congress ignore the idea, the topic ought to draw discussion among 2008 presidential candidates, who have a lot of air time to fill in an overly long campaign. Forswearing profits from war is very little to ask of someone who would be president. More important, anything that can ease the painful levels of distrust among people for this or future administrations is worth consideration.

'Seattle P-I': Stop Bush, Cheney From Profiting Off Iraq War
posted: 11/26/2007
by: E&P Staff:
President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney should pledge not to accept any profits from the war in Iraq when they leave office, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer said in an editorial Sunday.
"In doing so, they would set a new, higher standard of White House ethics that might foster more rational public discourse on issues of war and peace," the editorial said.
The P-I piece took its inspiration from Michael Masley, the perpetually e-mailing anti-war activist who calls himself the "U.S. Artist General." Masley has campaigned to force Bush to promise not to profit from military actions he authorized.
"But this left-wing, left-coast idea actually reaches into the heartland and history of the country," the P-I wrote. "Americans have always had a healthy skepticism about unholy influence by money and power on military and foreign policy decisions. Indeed, great presidents have voiced the same concerns when they have warned about foreign entanglements (Washington), war profiteers (FDR) or the sway of the military-industrial complex (Eisenhower)."
From the start, the P-I opposed what it called "the misguided Iraq war," but at the same time it said "we never much liked the 'blood-for-oil' rhetoric" of many of the war's critics.
"The administration could turn down some of the heat with a lifetime, no-war-profit promise," the newspaper said. "Bush's most ardent detractors (who actually might think the administration was deluded not just by neocon fantasies about promoting democracy but also by a desire to pump up profits of companies with which they have been connected) might find the chances laughably unrealistic. Perhaps, perhaps not."
Presidential candidates, too, should take the pledge, the paper said.
"Forswearing profits from war is very little to ask of someone who would be president," it wrote. "More important, anything that can ease the painful levels of distrust among people for this or future administrations is worth consideration."

SAN FRANCISCO BAY GUARDIAN --Trail Mix
--Steven T. Jones
Artist General's Warning: Recu$al question could be bad for Bush's political health Michael Masley has a question. It's a question he's been trying to get someone to ask for two years, and time is now running short to ask it. It's a good question, and if there were any justice in the world or democracy left in this orange-alerted country of ours, then Jim Lehrer would ask George W. Bush the question during the presidential debate Sept. 30.
The question is this: Will you agree never to accept any personal profits flowing from any military action you authorize or promote? Masley has been harassing journalists all over the country, trying to get them to ask it of Bush and the rest of his war cabinet, as well as John Kerry and anyone else running for an office that lets him or her participate in decisions likely to put foreigners on the receiving end of an American bullet or bomb.
For a Berkeley resident who makes his living as a street musician, Masley has a surprisingly long reach, spending up to 40 hours a week online, mining sources of information, and sending out entertaining and incisive e-missives under his "Artist General" nom de plume. The guy turns phrases in ways that cut to the heart of important issues, just as his question does.
If the question does get asked, Masley thinks Bush might do his deer-in-headlights impression, or that he'd dodge it or lie in a way that might touch off more media interest in the issue. After all, Vice President Dick Cheney has profited handsomely from actions he took as Poppy Bush's secretary of defense, most notably deciding to outsource many military functions and then becoming CEO of Halliburton, which then got the no-bid contracts to do that work.
Who knows, maybe mainstream journalists might even begin questioning why a war cabinet of Texas oilmen lied their way into occupying some of the most oil-rich regions of the world. Or maybe that's asking too much. (Steven T. Jones)

Summer 2003 - This is me at Combat LIfesaver Class, behind the Mosul Hotel. A class given by the Battalion Medics to teach non-medics basic life saving techniques, and the giving of IV's. It was here I learned of my aversion to blood.
By Cheryl Pellerin
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5, 2010 – Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates urged servicemembers whose military service was involuntarily extended between 2001 and 2009 under the so-called “Stop Loss” program to claim the special pay to which they’re entitled before the Dec. 3 deadline.
“As secretary of defense, one of my responsibilities is to make sure members of the armed forces receive the benefits they have earned,” Gates said in a message aired on the Pentagon Channel.
More than 145,000 people are eligible for the special pay, but fewer than half have submitted claims, defense officials said. Servicemembers and veterans are entitled to $500 for each month or partial month they served in Stop Loss status.
Gates’ message is the department’s latest attempt to reach eligible servicemembers, veterans and beneficiaries. Since October 2009 -- when the War Supplemental Appropriations Act established the retroactive special pay -- the services have used direct mail, veteran service organizations, the media and the Internet to reach those who are eligible.
On Sept. 15, President Barack Obama recorded a video message that is posted on the White House blog page, and Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, posted a blog entry on the topic on the Defense Department’s website.
“If you were affected by Stop Loss, … I would encourage you to go to www.defense.gov/stoploss to learn more,” Gates said. “The average payment has been about $3,800. But don’t wait too long. The deadline to submit a claim is Dec. 3, 2010.”

March 2003 - Brian and I, taking a short break after our second patrol, in the small area known as Al Kufa, just south of the Holy City of An Najaf, Iraq. At this time, we were still in our MOPP Chemical Suits. Although it was March, daytime temps had already hit high 90's.
On this particular day, we patrolled through the local University, and the Dorm housing next to the Kufa Cola factory. I remember fondly how we "laterally transferred" some Kufa Cola to our Platoon. The cans were so hot from sitting in the midday sun, we lassoed some 550 cord around a six-pack, and dunked them into the river (the left one - Euphrates?), tied to a tree to cool 'em down. Maybe it was because we had been drinking water from the water buffalo for 2 weeks straight, but the Cola tasted unlike any Coke or Pepsi you may have had - it was rich with flavor, distinctly cocoa.
Lemon-Lime wasn't bad either.

May 2005, Fort Campbell, Kentucky -This is an M198 155mm Artillery Howitzer, from C Battery, 1/377 FAR, who have since returned to Fort Bragg, and was replaced by Brigade 120mm Mortar Teams. This howitzer has an unassisted max range of about 23,000 meters, and with Rocket Assist, can travel as far as 30,000 meters (18 miles).
example of a nice trade that i found while researching. futures like these have so much leverage it makes it more possible to trade really small time frames and still make good money. this would have made over $200 in about 32 minutes. normally i would zoom in more to time my entry in a STF but i was trading on a 1 min chart already i guess i dont have that luxury.
this happened while i was sleeping in. when i look back i make sure i am not "just picking the best trades". this is another trade that met all my requirements, kept looking good as i zoomed in.

May 2005, Fort Cambell, Kentucky - In the "Back 40" for a week of training in summer '05. The FIST team stayed in the MOUT site on OP2, calling for fire from the 105mm and 155mm Artillery Battalions we supported. At this time, SPC Davis had called hundreds of rounds of artillery, but had never been to the site of fire. I got the okay to take some soldiers with me to the gun line, and saw firsthand what it was like to load, receive coordinates, and finally, pull the string.
didnt get into this one but its another example of a good trade. i found it while it was still going. just about 3 points profit but considering its around midnight and it only took 1.5 hrs, i wouldnt complain much.

The President of Veterans for America reflects on the remarks as Members of Congress discuss the Stop Loss Compensation Act.
Most people don't know about the US Military's Stop Loss Policy. Stop Loss is the involuntary extension of a service member's active duty service under the enlistment contract in order to retain them beyond their initial end of term of service (ETS) date. Read more about it here
turned out to be a great trade, almost 2hrs long. a winner, $370 profit.....if i was able to trade it.

Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) was founded by Iraq war veterans in July 2004 at the annual convention of Veterans for Peace (VFP) in Boston to give a voice to the large number of active duty service people and veterans who are against this war, but are under various pressures to remain silent.
From its inception, IVAW has called for:
- Immediate withdrawal of all occupying forces in Iraq;
- Reparations for the destruction and corporate pillaging of Iraq so that Iraqi people can control their own lives and future; and
- Full benefits, adequate healthcare (including mental health), and other supports for returning servicemen and women.
