Your In The Army Now...Really? (1330 hits)

I spent the day watching all the events of World War II turned movies on American Movie Classics (AMC), and as always, the brothers are absent. Between commercials I switched to the news and caught a piece on a soldier scheduled to be executed in December 2012, the first since 1961. So this being Veterans Day, weekend in all, I wonder how many Black soldiers have been executed under military law. I still haven’t found the answer but did run across an interesting article I would like to share. http://voices.yahoo.com/the-strange-story-...

Jake... do your due diligence research.... man, i do not believe what that member stated. I will blog that for the public reading audience!

My Grandfather and Great Uncle served in World War II. My Grandfather fought in Europe and G-Uncle fought in the Pacific.... believe me, it was not with pitch forks. Wow! Mr. Sanford, I leave your blog. No further comments.

To All,
My understanding about the early stages of Vet Nam is the soldiers were ham strung because they were there as observers, so it is conceivable that they would not be allowed to use bullets without permission. Keep in mind Vet Nam was not declared a War by congress but was classified as a police action. king David can give a better assessment of the situation.
@Jake
Yeah look forward to posting new blog on Black NJ once I think I have something of interest to the group...lol!

@jake
Yeah we are very interested in being a participant in the resurgence of Newark. You there use to be a sign when you entered the state that said "if it's not made here, its not made anywhere" well we know that change when the majority of manufacturing was outsourced.

Anyway, back to military.

Mr. Sanford...you must understand the differences between USA military ad visors and USA soldiers... I will personally let a friend who was involved with the "Tet" offense type his experience during that war!!!

Earl Brown
Really....that is my generation Mr. Sanford....who better to give you an assessment! Grew up, watching that WAR, on CBS News, with the late anchor-man Walter Cronkite!!!

@Earl

Yeah, I guess we both did. March in Wall street, Union Square and a few other demos at that time, was still in high school, had my 1H or H1 classification whichever one it was, can't remember a lot was going on and "up in smoke" during that era, bottom line if it continued would have been drafted. Like to read with the guy has to say about Nam.

systematic use of terror, often violent, especially as a means of coercion. In the

@Earl, so good you brought in Israel (did you see our president's news conference that has just ended)...

I bring this up boecause of no questions on teh war being waged by them right now...and, I wonder if tis has to do with our president having already told Israel the american tax payers paying for their war days are over...

and, because the youth in Israel are and hve been protesting against those houses being build and their government either refusing or can't afford to help feed their poor and starving if this means that China is financing Israels' war for its backing the Syrian government???

OR MAYBE IT HAS TO DO WITH OUR PRESIDENT GETTING RREELECTED BECAUSE HE GOT THE MAJORITY JEWISH VOTES AND NOT ROMNEY????
