Walter Reed National Military Medical Center Terminates Catholic Pastoral Care Contract During Holy Week

Walter Reed National Military Medical Center Terminates Catholic Pastoral Care Contract During Holy Week. Well here you have it, let’s violate the First Amendment. The Pentagon should crap all over the people who made this ill-advised decision, but they’re probably in on it.

 Walter Reed National Military Medical Center has issued a “cease and desist order” to Holy Name College, a community of Franciscan Catholic priests and brothers, who have provided pastoral care to service members and veterans at Walter Reed for nearly two decades.

The government’s cease and desist order directed the Catholic priests to cease any religious services at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. This order was issued as Catholics entered Holy Week, the most sacred of days in the Christian faith, in which they participate in liturgies remembering Jesus’ passion, and leading the Church to celebrate the Resurrection on Easter morning.

The Franciscans’ contract for Catholic Pastoral Care was terminated on March 31, 2023, and awarded to a secular defense contracting firm that cannot fulfill the statement of work in the contract. As a result, adequate pastoral care is not available for service members and veterans in the United States’ largest Defense Health Agency medical center either during Holy Week or beyond. There is one Catholic Army chaplain assigned to Walter Reed Medical Center, but he is in the process of separating from the Army.

US military bases that housed Afghan evacuees suffered $260 million in damage

US military bases that housed Afghan evacuees suffered $260 million in damage.  Oh, well. Only $260 million, a paltry sum compared to $60 billion to Ukraine for money laundering.

A new Department of Defense (DOD) report found that the U.S. military bases that housed Afghan evacuees suffered $260 million in damages, with the Air Force saying the damage was “unrepairable.”

“Air Force officials described tables, chairs and cots broken by guests and tents and cots ruined by spray paint, human biological matter and holes,” it continues.

“The Air Force described materials as ‘completely depleted, such that no materials remain available for other real world missions,'” it adds.

Some of the damage to the buildings left them unusable for the military until the plumbing and walls are repaired.

Major Web Browsers Drop Mysterious Authentication Company After Ties To US Military Contractor Exposed

Major Web Browsers Drop Mysterious Authentication Company After Ties To US Military Contractor Exposed. If you like your spying you can keep your spying. We often wonder who’s spying on us. This paranoia is obviously warranted.

This week several major web browsers quickly severed ties with a mysterious software company used to certify the security of websites, three weeks after the Washington Post exposed its connections to a US military contractor, the Post reports.

“Certificate Authorities have highly trusted roles in the internet ecosystem and it is unacceptable for a CA to be closely tied, through ownership and operation, to a company engaged in the distribution of malware,” said Mozilla’s Kathleen Wilson in an email to browser security experts. “Trustcor’s responses via their Vice President of CA operations further substantiates the factual basis for Mozilla’s concerns.”

‘They Are Getting Ready for Trump’s Second Term’: Former Pentagon Brass Encourage Military to Disobey Orders

‘They Are Getting Ready for Trump’s Second Term: Former Pentagon Brass Encourage Military to Disobey Orders. Sounds like treason to us. Where’s the firing squad?

What follows are 16 enumerated “best practices” that deal with the chain of command, political pressure, and civilian control of the U.S. military, all signed by former Pentagon brass including Ash Carter, Mark Esper, Bob Gates, Chuck Hagel, Jim Mattis, Leon Panetta, Martin Dempsey, Joseph Dunford, and Peter Pace.

“Military officers swear an oath to support and defend the Constitution, not an oath of fealty to an individual or to an office,” the letter explains. “All civilians, whether they swear an oath or not, are likewise obligated to support and defend the Constitution as their highest duty.”

Another point discusses the “responsibility of senior military and civilian leaders to ensure that any order they receive from the president is legal” and “to provide the president with their views and advice that includes the implications of an order.”

Save the Military By Starting with a Woke Purge

General Milley Woke

Save the Military By Starting with a Woke Purge. Any generals with penises in the house? We need you to step up to the plate and dump General Milli Vanilli and other assorted military cucks.

Let’s understand that the woke joke military we see today is not the one that vets like me served in. Planning and executing was what we did; what we see going on in Kabul looks less like the result of the military decision-making process than bad improv, as if there’s any other kind.

82nd Airborne Division’s Immediate Response Force Headed to D.C. amid Riots

82nd Airborne Division’s Immediate Response Force Headed to D.C. amid Riots. We can guess who’s going to win this one.

The 82nd Airborne Division has been ordered to deploy to Washington D.C. in order to help break up the riots in that city. The 82nd was the same group sent into Iraq to quell the Iranian insurrection. Let’s see Antifa try pulling stuff on them.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), “And, if necessary, the 10th Mountain, 82nd Airborne, 1st Cav, 3rd Infantry — whatever it takes to restore order. No quarter for insurrectionists, anarchists, rioters, and looters.”

As Washington DC faces coronavirus spike secret military task force prepares to secure the Capital

As Washington DC faces coronavirus spike secret military task force prepares to secure the Capital. Little known, but they wield a lot of power in a crisis.

District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser yesterday ordered a one-month extension of the state of emergency, as cases in the region grow at a rapid pace. Federal officials in the nation’s capital expect a New York-like epidemic in the District, Maryland and Virginia, one that could potentially cripple the government.

“No one wants to talk evacuation, especially when there’s nowhere to go,” says a senior military officer working on continuity of government planning; he requested anonymity because he is not authorized to speak on the record.

But a little-known military task force charged with evacuating Washington has already been activated, a task force charged with the most sensitive government mission of “securing” Washington in the face of attackers, foreign and domestic—and if necessary, moving White House and other key government offices to alternate locations.

Activated on March 16, Joint Task Force National Capital Region (JTF-NCR) is chartered to “defend” Washington on land, in the air, and even on its waterfronts. The special task force, the only one of its kind in the country, demonstrates how there are two sides of government preparedness. The public face, and even the day-to-day work of most men and women assigned to JTF-NCR, is the same as it is everywhere else in the country—medical support, delivering supplies, manning health-check stations.

ANALYSIS: Democrats have a Colonel Vindman problem

ANALYSIS: Democrats have a Colonel Vindman problem. Yes they do. He’s an anti-Trump Colonel who’s violated the military code and should receive ‘vacation’ to GITMO and a court martial in our opinion.

1) Beyond his opinions, he had few new facts to offer.

2) Vindman withheld important information from investigators.

3) There were notable gaps in Vindman’s knowledge.

4) Vindman was a creature of a bureaucracy that has often opposed Trump.

Pentagon has known of crime reporting lapses for 20 years

Pentagon has known of crime reporting lapses for 20 years. So how many other squirrel brains are running around with guns they should be barred from owing?

The Pentagon has known for at least two decades about failures to give military criminal history information to the FBI, including the type the Air Force didn’t report about the accused Texas church killer who assaulted his then-wife and stepson while serving as an enlisted airman.

US court bars Trump from reversing transgender troops policy

US court bars Trump from reversing transgender troops policy. Yep, suing Trump to screw with his plans involves only finding an Obama or a Clinton appointee judge. In this case she’s a Clinton appointee.

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ruled that the transgender service members who had sued over Trump’s policy were likely to win their lawsuit. She directed a return to the situation that existed before Trump announced his new policy this summer, saying the administration had provided no solid evidence for why a ban should be implemented.

Bowe Bergdahl whines that the US treated him WORSE than the Taliban as he faces a life sentence for desertion

Bowe Bergdahl whines that the US treated him WORSE than the Taliban as he faces a life sentence for desertion. Maybe they should get a firing squad who will tell him they’re going to shoot him, that’s honest.

‘At least the Taliban were honest enough to say, “I’m the guy who’s gonna cut your throat”,’ the 31-year-old Army sergeant told the The Sunday Times of London in an interview released on Sunday.

West Point Appears FUBAR: Colonel Who Reported Communist Cadet Slams West Point Leadership

West Point Appears FUBAR: Colonel Who Reported Communist Cadet Slams West Point Leadership. Evidently Commie Cadet Rapone isn’t the only problem. Sounds to us like Obama’s leadership has taken over.

“The Superintendent refuses to enforce admissions standards or the cadet Honor Code, the Dean refuses to enforce academic standards, and the Commandant refuses to enforce standards of conduct and discipline,” the letter charges. “The end result is a sort of malaise that pervades the entire institution.”
