LAWRENCE AND PHILLIP WALTER WELLMAN Stars and Stripes KABUL, Afghanistan — Nine- teen years ago on Wednesday, a generation of Americans deployed to Afghanistan to root out the ter- rorists behind the 9/11 attacks, believing that by fighting in the country more than 7,400 miles away, they would spare their chil- dren the need to do so too. But as the U.S. war in Afghani- stan begins its 20th year, some of those same service members have watched as their sons and daughters have deployed to con- tinue the fight. “When we started this, people asked why I was going, and my response was, ‘So my sons don’t have to fight this war,’ ” said Mas- ter Sgt.

    COPYRIGHT MCSWEENEY’S 2020/2021 MCSWEENEYS.NET LEST WE FORGET THE HORRORS: A CATALOG OF TRUMP’S WORST CRUELTIES, COLLUSIONS, CORRUPTIONS, AND CRIMES THE COMPLETE LISTIN G : ATROCITIES 1- 1056 BY BEN PARKER, STEPHANIE STEINBRECHER, KELSEY RONAN, JOHN M C MURTRIE, SOPHIA D U ROSE, RACHEL VILLA, AND AMY SUMERTON - - - Early in President Trump’s term, McSweeney’s editors began to catalog the head-spinning number of misdeeds coming from his administration. We called this list a collection of Trump’s cruelties, collusions, and crimes, and it felt urgent then to track them, to ensure these horrors — happening almost daily — would not be forgotten. This election year, amid a harrowing global health, civil rights, humanitarian, and economic crisis, we know it’s never been more critical to note these horrors, to remember them, and to do all in our power to reverse them. - - - Various writers have compiled this list during the course of the Trump administration. Their work has been guided by invaluable journalistic resources, including WTFJHT, NPR, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and other sources, to whom we are grateful. - - - ATROCITY KEY – Sexual Misconduct, Harassment, & Bullying – White Supremacy, Racism, Homophobia, Transphobia, & Xenophobia – Public Statements / Tweets – Collusion with Russia & Obstruction of Justice – Trump Staff & Administration – Trump Family Business Dealings – Policy – Environment - - - BEFORE JANUARY 2017 1. – February 10, 2011 – In 2011, Donald Trump stoked false claims that Barack Obama had lied about his education. During a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference, Trump said, “Our current president came out of nowhere. Came out of nowhere. In fact, I’ll go a step further: The people that went to school with him, they never saw him, they don’t know who he is.

  • 2017 Research Abstracts Selection for Podium Or Poster Presentation
    2017 Research Abstracts Selection for Podium or Poster Presentation TOP PODIUM PRESENTATION Social Media and Military Medicine SFC Paul E. Loos, NCOIC Surgery, Anesthesia, Records and Reports Section, Special Forces Medical Sergeants Course, Joint Special Operations Medical Training Facility, Fort Bragg, NC Background: As technology in communications advances, best practices in tactical or military medicine can be shared at the speed of creation. Currently best practices are spread through the publishing of texts, scholarly journal articles, word of mouth, or during periodic refresher courses. This leaves many tactical medical providers and medical directors using different protocols and recommendations for patient care. The goal of my presentation is to inform and empower medical providers to more efficiently disseminate needed medical information to medics in their charge utilizing modern communications techniques. Methods: Trial and error and 3 years of experience. Results: 160,000 hits on our website made by over 70,000 unique IP addresses around the world on our blog posts, podcasts and recommendations. Discussion: Due to a variety of reasons, military medics are not getting the most up to date information regarding the treatment of casualties throughout the gamut of tactical medicine. I will submit a layered approach using multiple solutions in improving communication of current best practices and recommendations from unit surgeons down to the end-user medic on the ground. This will include discussions on social media use, and etiquette, by military members to include different social media platforms as well as current USSOCOM and DOD policy. Depending on the content to be released, various social media sites are better used for certain purposes.

  • Breakfast Club
    Monday, 5 Oct 2020 Breakfast Club Good morning, Monday. Over the weekend, Donald Trump’s physician admitted to giving a misleading statement about the president receiving oxygen, the latest in a series of contradictory and confusing accounts about Trump’s coronavirus infection. White House physician Sean Conley told reporters Sunday that Trump had received supplemental oxygen on Friday, after saying the previous day that the president hadn’t been treated with oxygen on Friday. He gave the misleading information initially to “reflect the upbeat attitude” of Trump and his doctors. Broadly, White House officials have repeatedly described Trump’s health as improving even while doctors were administering a rising number of drugs. He received Regeneron’s therapeutic on Friday, and later that night began a treatment course of Gilead’s remdesivir intravenously. Trump had been given dexamethasone, his third therapeutic treatment in as many days. Dexamethasone is used to calm an overly active inflammatory response to the infection, one that typically doesn’t start until the virus has been present for some time. Trump receiving it at this stage is a sign that doctors may think the illness is progressing quicker than expected, or that he’d actually contracted it earlier. Later Sunday evening, Trump unexpectedly left the hospital to greet supporters, waving to them from his motorcade in a bid to demonstrate strength. Biden and Harris both tested negative for the virus. On the right, the VIX, or fear gauge, jumped as much as 12% -- the most since Sept. 3 -- on Friday following Trump’s announcement he has the virus.

CSPAN Suspends Steve Scully for Lying About His Twitter Account Being Hacked - Statement WASHINGTON, October 15 (Sputnik) - The cable network C-SPAN said in a statement on Thursday that it has suspended its lead reporter Steve Scully after admitting he lied about his Twitter account being hacked when he publicly reached out to former US President Donald Trump’s aide Anthony Scaramucci on the social media platform. "Starting immediately, we have placed Steve on administrative leave," the statement said. "After some distance from this episode, we believe in his ability to continue to contribute to C-SPAN." On October 8, Scully asked Scaramucci in a now-deleted tweet whether he should respond to Trump after Trump criticized him on national television that day. Scully was originally set to server as the moderator in the now-canceled second presidential debate that would have taken place on Thursday night. Scully said in a statement that he sent the tweet to Scaramucci because he was frustrated over criticism he received on social media and from the US president. CSPAN said Scully informed the network and the Commission on Presidential Debates on Wednesday that his hacking claim was false. Trump said in a statement the second presidential debate would have been rigged and that the Commission has not treated his re-election campaign fairly.
