Navy sued over manipulation of ‘gay’ datahttp://www.wnd.com/2012/02/navy-sued-over-manipulation-of-gay-data/A federal Freedom of Information Act lawsuit has been filed against the U.S. Navy over the manipulation of “gay” data used to convince Congress to overturn the centuries-old ban in the U.S. military on open homosexuality.
The manipulation of the data was confirmed by the government itself, which in an inspector general’s report marked “For Official Use Only” said numbers were combined to present the image that members of the military approved of Barack Obama’s plan for open homosexuality.
It was the military’s original and now-suspect report that famously was quoted as affirming “70 percent” of the nation’s military members believe the repeal of the long-standing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” practice of allowing homosexuals to serve as long as they kept their sexual lifestyle choices to themselves would have either “a neutral or positive impact on unit cohesion, readiness, effectiveness and morale.”

Soldier surprises his kids at school while on leave for the holidays – Lodi News-Sentinel: Newshttp://www.lodinews.com/news/article_63e19f0d-a107-5680-a6ec-477851dccf90.htmlPrincipal Celeste Borcher had a stern look in her eye as she lectured a group of third and sixth-graders on the lawn outside the office at Erma B. Reese Elementary School.
“There’s a third-grade class and a sixth-grade class that are not doing what they are supposed to be. So we have to take class time to get you out here,” she said. “And I’m pretty disappointed in you. We just had a Lifeskills assembly this week, and here we are not behaving ourselves. Are you understanding what I’m saying?”

Cantor, chaplain in Army National Guard, awaits orders | j. the Jewish news weekly of Northern Californiahttp://www.jweekly.com/article/full/63843/cantor-chaplain-in-army-national-guard-awaits-orders/After growing up in Manhattan, David Frommer moved to the Middle East and joined the Israeli army. Now a San Francisco resident, he might be heading back to the Middle East — this time possibly to Kuwait — as a member of the Army National Guard.
Frommer, 30, is a cantor and a military chaplain. In fact, he’s been told that he’s the first cantor to serve as a chaplain in any of the U.S. armed services.
“In early spring, New York will send the 27th Infantry Brigade combat team to Kuwait for one year,” Frommer said. “The speculation is that from there we may be sent to Iraq or Afghanistan, as needed, to train soldiers from those countries. But it’s impossible to know for sure at this point.”
Running for the challenge

DVIDS – News – Running for the challengehttp://www.dvidshub.net/news/81663/running-challenge#.TvOCImMr2nABAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan — Service members wear the same thing while they run, but they don’t run for the same reasons. Shortly after arriving, U.S. Army Chaplain (Maj.) Stanton Trotter, of La Palma, Calif., threw down the 82nd Challenge—running the perimeter of the airfield 82 times during the deployment.
Measuring roughly 7.5 miles, at first glance it doesn’t seem too extreme, especially to the avid runner. With a total test of 600 miles, the T-shirt payoff may seem insignificant.

More women in combat means more mothers with PTSD – CNN.comhttp://www.cnn.com/2011/12/13/health/iraq-female-veterans-ptsd/?hpt=he_c1Palo Alto, California (CNN) – It wasn’t until five months after Army Staff Sgt. June Moss returned from the Iraq war in 2003 that her real battle began. The horrors of the war — witnessing decapitated and burned bodies amid mass destruction — led to post-traumatic stress disorder.
“I do notice when I’m stressing out that I start having dreams about what I saw and how I felt,” says Moss, now 40 and retired from the Army. “It does come back as if to haunt you.”

Soldier’s sacrifice leads chaplain back to Army service | Article | The United States Armyhttp://www.army.mil/article/68990/Soldier_s_sacrifice_leads_chaplain_back_to_Army_service/After about eight years as a medic in the Army Reserves, Todd Cheney traded his Battle Dress Uniform for a minister’s robe in 1997.
Cheney joined the Army in September 1989 with a friend, hoping to get some help paying for college.
“We were bored and not going anywhere, so we thought, ‘Let’s do something worthwhile,’” Cheney said.
Throughout his time in the U.S. Army Reserve, Cheney served within the ministry. He taught a bible study, worked with the youth ministry, and held various other positions. But in 1995, he committed wholeheartedly to the church.

Rock dreams put aside for God, Armyhttp://kdhnews.com/news/story.aspx?s=61807Despite being an Air Force brat, Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center Chaplain Lt. Col. Dale Potter wasn’t the typical military recruit.
“The phrase ‘free spirit’ is probably a good one,” said Potter, 60, describing himself during his 20s in San Francisco. “The culture that was going on in the (1960s) and (1970s) definitely had an influence on me… . I had dreams of being a rock and roll drummer.”

 Why Does God Allow War? - $10.40 Does God care about the sin and suffering in the world today? Why doesn't he bring an end to war and violence? When our lives seem shattered by personal tragedy, is there any answer? Is there any place to which we can turn to find hope and peace and true happiness whatever our circumstances? The ringing affirmation of this book is that there is indeed an answer-an answer that is rooted in the reality of God himself, and in what he has done and will do for those who know and love him. Dr. Lloyd-Jones wrote this book at the outbreak of the Second World War to a people on the brink of despair. It's message, however, is universal and remarkably relevant today as we seek to understand the crises of our own times. Yet readers will find that the truth it contains is a help for those in the midst of any tragedy, whether personal or national. "A classic book with timeless answers to the questions of war and suffering. Though first published at the beginning of World War II, Martyn Lloyd-Jones provides remarkably relevant answers — grounded in the unchanging truth of God's Word — to the urgent concerns that we all face today." |
