Today's Event at Fort Hood, Texas
Today,, the nasty event at Fort Hood could be a 'going to school event' for our military experts. In the late 1970s, I worked on a project that would computerize the U.S. Army. Since the development of the computer system had to consider future war possibilities, our project was allowed to view the war threats identified by the CIA. One of the war threats was the continuation of the View Nam war.
The View Nam war became a ghetto war. Such a war was new. Prior to such a war, the military planners used the Forward Edge of the Battle (FEB). With the FEB, friends are on one side of it and enemies are on the other side. Since a ghetto war does not have the FEB, the enemy is everywhere. This ghetto war is thus filled with uncertain events of the enemy and can confuse the mind of any human.
The Iraq and Afghanistan wars are ghetto wars. And we notice that more military men and women are coming home with mental problems. Perhaps, the event at Fort Hood has a known cause.

imperialism has a price.
that price was paid in some way at fort hood.
of course americans will blame it on one man then one religion.
until we see the capitalist system for what it is this self destruction will continue.
americans know little about the systems influence on behaviour and outcomes.
as an individualistic country we continue to focus on individuals.
nations dont change until they reach bottom.
in the united states that will be a third world status of haves and have nots.
already one per cent has more wealth than the bottom 95%.
the wealth of america is on the decline.
without the borrowing of money and printing money the united states would have a total economic meltdown.
both wars are unwinable.
but we will pull the same stunt we did in nam.
obama will send troops our paradigm in america is imperialism and self righteous ness.
we must have a war for profits every decade to maintain the status quo for our industrial military complex.
ike warned us but no one listened.

in american they have been brainwashed to believe that capitalism and patroitism are one and the same
religion knows little about the words of jesus when we have an economic system that believes it is moral to make mega profits off the sick and needy.
and a health care system that uses pre existing conditions to enhance profits
we may be a chruch going nation but we are an immoral nation
moral nations dont have wars for profits.
that is religion gone amuck.
jesus saw this all around him even in the temples.
what we sow we reap and in america we are reaping big time
few look at the system most just blame individuals like on wall street and bank CEO's

I notice that you know that U.S. Christian protestant churckes are not teachings Jesus Christ honestly. Neither are the Catholic Churches.
