You should also mention those politicians that send these serviceman and women off to war in the name of national pride and defense only to stymie their attempt to get any benefits they are entitled to when they return from war with devastating injuries.
They talk a good game about supporting the military where in actual fact the government treats them just as bad as the enemy they fought.

I was an American soldier that spent 20 months in combat as a forward observer. I performed honorable acts, I performed acts that many of you would frown upon. I witnessed things that no man, woman, or child shoud see. I did things that makes my stomach churn when I think about it. I did all of those things for one reason, survival.
Those that sit at home watching your tv, playing on your computer, or just going to sleep at night without the wondering if tonight is the night your time is up, will never understand. The pressure and stress levels are through the roof. If you make a mistake people die. We just want to go home, after awhile the stress starts to get to you. You become more aggressive, less likely to put up with the bullshit lies the locals try to feed you.
By the end of my time sadly, I started looking at them as insects instead of humans. I could call in fire or an airstrike on a group of people and think nothing of it. If a couple civilians got taken out, well shit happens. This sounds horrible, and that's what the news reports. Leaving out the part that five of us died in an ambush minutes before. Leaving out the part that the same soldier was looking for my battle buddies legs just so his family can bury all of him, last month. There is no such thing as civilians when it comes to the middle east, they will kill you for their religion. My time there slowly killed my soul or atleast injured it beyond repair.
In short soldiers for the most part are good people, trying to survive. If what many of you think will happen with the whole NWO, the soldiers will fight with the American people. We will fight to defend this country, and we will fight for those who can't fight for themselves. Yet people still want to bash on them. Why? Cause the media only reports part of the story, always the negative part too. Next time you hear how soldiers did some awful act, think what would you do. What would you do after you just picked up your friends limbs to send back to their family.

Good news for humanity ...
Most-wanted Mexican drug lord 'El Chapo', Joaquin Guzman arrested.
Working on the information gleaned from Guzman's bodyguards, Mexican marines swarmed the house of Guzman's ex-wife but struggled to batter down the steel-reinforced door, according to Mexican authorities and former U.S. law-enforcement officials briefed on the operation.
As the marines forced their way in, Guzman fled through a secret door beneath a bathtub down a corrugated steel ladder into a network of tunnels and sewer canals that connect to six other houses in Culiacan, the officials said.
Guzman fled south to Mazatlan. On his heels, a team of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents set up a base of operations with Mexican marines in the city, according to the current U.S. law-enforcement official.
Early Saturday morning, Guzman's reign came to an end without a shot fired. Marines closed the beachside road in front of the Miramar condominiums, a 10-story, pearl-colored building with white balconies overlooking the Pacific and a small pool in front.
Smashing down the door of an austerely decorated fourth-floor condo, they seized the country's most-wanted man at 6:40 a.m., a few minutes after the sun rose.

UK spies intercepted webcam images of Yahoo users
UK spies intercepted webcam images of Yahoo users
British spy agency GCHQ intercepted webcam images from millions of Yahoo users around the world, according to a report in the Guardian.
Yahoo denied prior knowledge of the alleged programme, describing it as a "completely unacceptable" privacy violation.
According to leaked documents, sexually explicit images were among those gathered - although not intentionally.
In a statement GCHQ has said all of its actions are in accordance with the law.
The operation, which was called Optic Nerve and was aided by the US National Security Agency, is alleged to have stored images between 2008 and 2010. In one six-month period in 2008, images from 1.8m users were gathered.
The report originated from documents leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden. It suggested that sexually explicit content would be captured by the system.
"Unfortunately … it would appear that a surprising number of people use webcam conversations to show intimate parts of their body to the other person," it read. "Also, the fact that the Yahoo software allows more than one person to view a webcam stream without necessarily sending a reciprocal stream means that it appears sometimes to be used for broadcasting pornography."
"We were not aware of nor would we condone this reported activity," Yahoo said in an emailed statement. "This report, if true, represents a whole new level of violation of our users' privacy that is completely unacceptable and we strongly call on the world's governments to reform surveillance law consistent with the principles we outlined in December. We are committed to preserving our users' trust and security and continue our efforts to expand encryption across all of our services."

Boeing makes 'self-destruct' top secret smartphone
A smartphone designed for handling top secret communications has been developed by Boeing. If the phone is tampered with, it automatically deletes any data and renders itself inoperable. Better known for its aeroplanes, the firm said it needed to help organisations get "trusted access to data to accomplish their missions".
The device, named Black, joins a growing range of high-security smartphones entering the market. At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, a similarly-titled Blackphone was announced, aimed more at businesses and consumers worried about private data.
Boeing already provides secure communications for US government officials - including the president. Boeing's Black is not intended for mainstream use - and does not yet have a price or release date.
The device took 36 months to produce, the company said, and has drawn on expertise from recent acquisitions of companies specialising in mobile technologies.
Product specifications posted on Boeing's website state that the device contains two SIM cards to allow switching between government and commercial networks. The smartphone runs a heavily-customised version of Google's Android operating system and Boeing has added its own branded security apps.
But where Black goes beyond typical mobile security is in physical enhancements to the hardware itself. "There are no serviceable parts on Boeing's Black phone and any attempted servicing or replacing of parts would destroy the product," the company explained in documents sent to the Federal Communications Commission.
"The Boeing Black phone is manufactured as a sealed device both with [extremely strong glue] epoxy around the casing and with screws, the heads of which are covered with tamper-proof covering to identify attempted disassembly. Any attempt to break open the casing of the device would trigger functions that would delete the data and software contained within the device and make the device inoperable."
Furthermore, the phone's hardware can be expanded to include biometric sensors, satellite receivers or solar panels.
