A Truth Journal: WTF? Outrageus Afghanistan: Many Reasons Wrong Idea To Commit To Another Decade There: From Denny: This is crazy. America does not need to remain in Afghanistan for any reason and certainly not for an undetermined amount of time, committing any amount of troops. To hear the Afghans tell it they expect us to subsidize their economy by training and financially supporting their entire army. It's outrageous.

The Afghans possess both the natural resources - and a thriving drug trade - to pay for themselves. American taxpayers do not want to spend billions of dollars more on this boondoggle with the tail wagging the dog yet again...

A Truth Journal: Egypt In a Nutshell: Muslim Brotherhood Are Terrorists, Opponents To Peace: From Denny: Violence erupts in Egypt. The knee jerk reaction is the Pentagon howls about what they might be in jeopardy of losing. The Pentagon never does get their priorities right. So, President Obama hurriedly does the Pentagon's bidding and rushes out onto the international stage to make their case before he fully understands Egypt.

The State Department is collectively wringing their hands that Egypt might become another Syria with years of civil war on the horizon. And the rest of the world is shaking their head at the inept policies coming out of the American government that seems to be rudderless in addition to clueless.

Here are the principle players in this international drama: the Muslim Brotherhood, the people of Egypt who want a secular government and peace with their neighbors, the Pentagon and Big Business defense contractors.

Here is Egypt's current situation in a nutshell summary...

Warriors Pearl Foundation

Helping homeless female military veterans come home. Started up this foundation charity when I read about how 5,000 or more female military veterans are homeless, most due to having been raped while serving in the military.

Currently, the Pentagon is not helping them as active women service members only make up 15 percent of the military. Their needs involve the issue of PTSD. The Pentagon is falling down on helping ALL soldiers with PTSD as thousands commit suicide every year from being denied help for eight months or longer after returning from a war zone.

This little foundation charity is working off the model of giving its profits to those charities who are working to help those suffering from PTSD and homeless female military vets. For those of you who are already supporting this funding effort, thank you! Please tell your friends and let's pull together to get our former service members properly housed and the medical help they need.
