I received this email from a friend in Hawaii. This
was written before 1947. My friends grandfather was
flying a small plane for recreational enjoyment on Dec 7, 1941,
flying over Honolulu as the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor (and
the rest of Oahu) began.
Very interesting slice of life here. 3
pages. What is very interesting also is the
"denial". They landed their plane during the
attack, got out, moved 30 planes to separate them in case of a
further attack, and then drove to the police to inform them of the
attack, and the police basically laughed at them, in denial that we
could have been attacked, especially by the Japanese.
Read it. Drop a comment.
By the way, in case you didn't know, this is the anniversary
of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
I was a soldier some decades ago. I stood watch on the East
German Border protecting the "West" from the tyranny of a police
state. A place where indefinite detention and torture was not only
legal but done every day. It was the soldier that ensured that
there was no freedom. And it was the soldier that made sure that
kind of evil did not spread any further.
And sadly as I am writing this with tears in my eyes; it will be
the soldier that will come and take these freedoms away.
For those of you who are still unaware: S.1867 specifically
authorizes the US military to operate inside the United States. It
allows for US citizens to seized , tortured (by sending them over
seas) detained indefinitely or just executed. Under this Bill
the government no longer has to bother with the Bill of Rights, due
process or Habeas Corpus. This bill and its companion in the House
have already passed. Only 7 Senators upheld their sworn oath of
office to protect and defend the Constitution. In the live free or
die state freedom came in last. Obama is saying he will veto the
bill. But it is not because of the actions of the soldier that he
is concerned. Apparently there is a section in the Bill that might
enable a victim to claim certain rights under the Geneva
Convention. The final bill presented to the President will most
likely delete this section..........

It is the Soldier, not the minister
It is The Soldier, not the reporter,
It is The Soldier, not the poet, It is The Soldier, not the campus organizer, It is The Soldier, not the lawyer, It is the Soldier, not the politician It is The Soldier who salutes the flag,
The soldier
