GATES: TOO FEW IN THE U.S. BEAR THE BURDEN OF THE WARS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN
This blogger has been been blogging about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan for over two years and I concur completely with Secretary of Defense Gates.
Most people in the United States have a little or no interest in the wars even though we have over 200,000 young Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan combined.
My blog has attracted over 690,000 visitors in the past two years, but most of them are vets, service people and the families of those in the military.
It is my opinion a military draft would change all this in a heartbeat.
It is not right that we keep sending the same troops back to Iraq or Afghanistan for their third or fourth tour.

News of the day for Sunday, September 26, 2010
In this May 7, 2004 file photo, then-Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld rubs his eyes while testifying about Abu Ghraib prison before the House Armed Services Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington. Fending off demands that he resign over the ensuing scandal, Rumsfeld told Congress he had found a legal way to compensate Iraqi detainees who suffered 'grievous and brutal abuse and cruelty at the hands of a few members of the United States armed forces.' (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais, File) Cry me a river: as of today, zero compensation has been paid to any of the Abu Ghraib victims. See below.Reported Security IncidentsBaghdadAn employee of the Committee on Anti-Corruption is flagged down on the airport road and shot dead. You may remember this highway as the site of constant attacks during the height of the insurgency in 2006. An employee of the culture ministry is shot dead in Jami’a by assailants using silenced weapons.A bomb near a gas station on al-Sadoun Street destroys several cars. Reports so far are unclear on casualties but the latest from Aswat al-Iraq says at least person injured. Update: Xinhua clears up the confusion: Six people are injured as an explosion apparently targets the car of Sa'id Ne'mah Jaiyash, head of the office of the Shiite politician Mowafaq al-Rubaie.In what is evidently a separate incident, a bomb in Karradah targeting a police patrol kills one passerby and injures 7. There does not appear to be any Sadoun Street in Karradah but honestly, I can't find it anywhere. -- CA member of Parliament from the Iraqiya bloc escapes an assassination attempt by car bomb in Mansour.Roadside bomb injures 3 people near Beirut Square. Beirut Square is the intersection of Palestine and Thawra Streets. This clearly does not correspond to any other reported incident, but it is only mentioned by Reuters.Two Katyushas strike the Green Zone, no information at this time on damage or casualties. MosulTwo brothers are shot dead in separate attacks. It is not clear whether this was politically motivated.
FallujaSuicide car bomb attack on a checkpoint kills 3 police, injures 3 more police and one civilian. Fox News reports 4 police officers killed by I won't link to them. --
CAbu Skheir, north of BasraPolice find and deactivate 3 rockets set to be launched. This report also mentions numerous arrests in Basra, but only 4 appear to have been of possible insurgents.Other News of the DayIraq inaugurates a new fleet of patrol boats to police the Umm Qasr oil terminal. However, if you read down a bit you will learn that "Crews for the high-speed patrol boats are currently being trained in the United States, where they were manufactured, with 15 ultimately set to be delivered to Iraq." So in other words, they had a ceremony but they don't actually have the boats yet. Oh well.The total compensation paid by the U.S. to victims of prisoner abuse in Abu Ghraib is, err, zero. Excerpt:
Fending off demands that he resign over the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, Defense Secretary Donald H Rumsfeld told Congress he had found a legal way to compensate Iraqi detainees who suffered "grievous and brutal abuse and cruelty at the hands of a few members of the United States armed forces." "It's the right thing to do," Rumsfeld declared in 2004. "And it is my intention to see that we do."Six years later, the US Army is unable to document a single payment for prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib.

My brother-in-law had friends he was visiting in Waziristan. As he was a guest there - and as is the custom of the people - many of the locals gathered to welcome him into the area. He was sat with a group of these people from the community when everybody gathered to pray the evening prayer (‘Isha) together. The drone attack happened in the middle of the prayers and the entire congregation was martyred. . . . People who had witnessed the attack had come to tell us and described what they saw of the remnants and damage in the aftermath. They said the attack was so severe that they could not even distinguish the bodies from one another- even the bones of the people were completely blown apart. The dead were completely unrecognisable.Haider. I cannot vouch for the source but this scenario is certainly plausible. -- C

MEMBERS OF US PLATOON IN AFGHANISTAN ACCUSED OF KILLING AFGHAN CIVILIANS FOR SPORT
Members of U.S. platoon in Afghanistan accused of killing civilians for sport
By Craig Whitlock Saturday, September 18, 2010; 9:39 PM
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/18/AR2010091803935.html?wprss=rss_world/asia
AT JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, WASH. The U.S. soldiers hatched a plan as simple as it was savage: to randomly target and kill an Afghan civilian, and to get away with it.
For weeks, according to Army charging documents, rogue members of a platoon from the 5th Stryker Combat Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, floated the idea. Then, one day last winter, a solitary Afghan man approached them in the village of La Mohammed Kalay. The "kill team" activated the plan.
One soldier created a ruse that they were under attack, tossing a fragmentary grenade on the ground. Then others opened fire.
According to charging documents, the unprovoked, fatal attack on Jan. 15 was the start of a months-long shooting spree against Afghan civilians that resulted in some of the grisliest allegations against American soldiers since the U.S. invasion in 2001. Members of the platoon have been charged with dismembering and photographing corpses, as well as hoarding a skull and other human bones.
