All-female U.S. Marine team in Afghanistan
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Warriors on 3/Jan/2011 18:10
Hospital Corpsman Shannon Crowley, 22, US Marine with the FET 1st Battalion 8th Marines, Regimental Combat team II patrols in the bazaar as an Afghan man rides by watching Nov. 15 in Musa Qala, Afghanistan.
“Elena Grothe writes:Here is a selection from the photo essay by Getty Images photojournalist Paula Bronstein that Getty moved this morning. Photographed last month, the images depict the women deployed as the second Female Engagement team in Afghanistan.
Getty reports that the women gain access where men cannot and train for any possible situation, including learning Afghan customs and basic Pashtun language.”

Separating Terror from Terrorism

Separating Terror from Terrorism is republished with permission of STRATFOR.
By Scott Stewart
On Dec. 15, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sent a joint bulletin to state and local law enforcement agencies expressing their concern that terrorists may attack a large public gathering in a major U.S. metropolitan area during the 2010 holiday season. That concern was echoed by contacts at the FBI and elsewhere who told STRATFOR they were almost certain there was going to be a terrorist attack launched against the United States over Christmas.
Certainly, attacks during the December holiday season are not unusual. There is a history of such attacks, from the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 on Dec. 21, 1988, and the thwarted millennium attacks in December 1999 and January 2000 to the post-9/11 airliner attacks by shoe bomber Richard Reid on Dec. 22, 2001, and by underwear bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab on Dec. 25, 2009. Some of these plots have even stemmed from the grassroots. In December 2006, Derrick Shareef was arrested while planning an attack he hoped to launch against an Illinois shopping mall on Dec. 22.
Mass gatherings in large metropolitan areas have also been repeatedly targeted by jihadist groups and lone wolves. In addition to past attacks and plots directed against the subway systems in major cities such as Madrid, London, New York and Washington, 2010 saw failed attacks against the crowds in New York’s Times Square on May 1 and in Pioneer Courthouse Square in downtown Portland, Ore., on Nov. 26.

2011 Navy Swim Camp
Registration is now officially open for the 2011 Navy Swimming Camp. At this time, we are accepting brochure as well as online applications. The online registration is more consolidated. If you have registered online in the past, we expect that you will find the 2011 process easier and less time consuming. Information regarding how to get signed up is explained on the page dedicated for registration; http://navyswimmingcamp.com/NAVY_Swimming_Camp/Application.html
Of note, Lejeune Hall will be under renovation for a lengthy period including the 2011 camp season. We are fortunate to have multiple aquatic venues at the Naval Academy allowing us to still offer an outstanding program. The only difference is that all pool sessions will take place in McDonough Hall. As a result and to maintain an emphasis on the quality of the camp, we will be capping the camp at a lower number (TBD.)
Look for more information about the 2011 camp on the official camp website. Also, for quickest access to updates, follow us on Facebook and/or the camp Blog located within the camp website (www.navyswimmingcamp.com ).
Banning Guns, Crossbows and Knives is not enough: Big Sticks must also be Banned!
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Opinion on 1/Jan/2011 02:30
There is nothing funny about this video. The point is that banning weapons does not solve the problem of crime, it only takes away powerful tools for self-defense from law-abiding citizens.
At least half a dozen states say they will propose bills to fight illegal immigration.

By JULIA PRESTON
“Legislative leaders in at least half a dozen states say they will propose bills similar to a controversial law to fight illegal immigration that was adopted by Arizona last spring, even though a federal court has suspended central provisions of that statute.
Legislators have also announced measures to limit access to public colleges and other benefits for illegal immigrants and to punish employers who hire them.
Next week, at least five states plan to begin an unusual coordinated effort to cancel automatic United States citizenship for children born in this country to illegal immigrant parents.”
