Hi Steve,
Dan’s recent alert letter outlining the tremendous amount of military surplus equipment that is now up for sale/auction dovetails exactly with the letter I sent you a few weeks ago regarding the transition of the US military to an Expeditionary Force. By definition, Expeditionary Forces are light and mobile….however, they are not built for protracted or heavy combat operations. Thus, the shedding of “unnecessary equipment” that Dan describes makes perfect sense.
The US military’s foundational change from at Theater-Based Force to a Threat-Based Force was/is by design— and brings with it risks that most Americans do not yet comprehend. In general, I believe the US public has a “frozen” image of US capabilities. We still imagine we can successfully conduct two wars in two different theaters of operations as we did in WW II. This is not even remotely true….unless we are willing to resort to nuclear weapons and then accept the probability that these weapons will be used against us as well.
Nor, can we rest on the illusion that our technological superiority will compensate for our diminishing force structure. The harsh reality is, the technology-gap between the “military haves” and the “military have-nots” has shrunk dramatically. The US Donald Cook incident should be a wake-up call to everyone. I am convinced the US Navy, is taking the situation very seriously. I am not sure the rest of our government is. I would feel much better if there were urgent concern (as we saw during the Sputnik era) rather than the seeming complacency I see now.

I like this quote: “Until the peoples of the US Republic and the world decide to likewise swarm like angry jungle ants on a helpless dung beetle, the federal govts on the planet and their masters will continue to rule cruelly and with malice towards all.”

MR GENERAL! Why in the heck do you and all your other so called Patriots who left the military and REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT OUR NATION? You are a scumbag for not lifting one finger to stop anyone in power. Since you were so high ranking, why don’t you pull any strings, or any military at all DO ONE THING TO SAVE OUR NATION? You TRULY ARE the problem why the U.S. is headed to destruction, and a TRAITOR to your oath you taken, and to YOUR NATION! As a old WAR VET, you are nothing but dog krap who are more then willing to accept your $4k A MONTH BRIBED PENSION to keep your under the control of the Gov. Millions of real patriots expected ReAL MEN in our military to help us, yet, not one single so called patriot General in high office NEVER ONCE LIFTED ONE FINGER to put our country back on track.
My you and your family rot for all eternity for your betrail of your oath and word as a Officer, to protect our nation from foreign and domestic enemies. I wish you and your children all the most worldly pain while on this planet for your crimes against all you claimed to protect. Their are millions of dead honest vet who gave their all for their nation; only to have slim like you Mr General and ALL MILITARY PERSONNEL TODAY, to use the American Flag as your own toilet paper; and refuse to do your oath. Sorry but the truth is hard to handle now isn’t it?
