Aussie Soldier Killed In Afghanistan;

Five More Wounded
24 May, 2011 by GEORGINA ROBINSON, The Canberra Times [Excerpts]

A decorated Australian special forces soldier has been killed and five other soldiers
wounded during two separate attacks in Afghanistan.

The Chief of the Defence Force Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston said Sergeant Brett
Wood, 32, from Victoria, was killed about 11pm AEST yesterday, while conducting
clearance operations in southern Afghanistan.

An improvised explosive device detonated, killing Sergeant Wood and seriously

wounding two others.

The men, all members of the elite 2nd Commando Regiment, were on foot at the time.

Three more soldiers working with an Afghan Provincial Response Company were
wounded in a separate incident, which occurred yesterday evening AEST.
"There was a gunfire exchange and they sustained fragmentation," Air Chief Marshal
Houston said, adding that he expected them to be discharged from a medical facility in
Tarin Kowt later today.

Air Chief Marshal Houston described Sergeant Wood as a "decorated warrior" with more
than 15 years' service in the Australian Defence Force.

Sergeant Wood was awarded the Medal for Gallantry in 2006 after leading a commando
team in extremely hazardous circumstances in the Chora Valley.

This was Sergeant Wood's third deployment in Afghanistan. He also served in Papua
New Guinea, East Timor and Iraq, Air Chief Marshal Houston said.

He is survived by his wife.

His two colleagues were flown to a medical facility where they are listed as seriously ill.

Sergeant Wood is the 24th Australian soldier to be killed in Afghanistan since 2002 when
Operation Slipper began.

Brad Melton Killed In Afghanistan

May 17, 2011 Written by Kristen Gosling, KSDK

A Rolla family is mourning the death of a soldier killed in Afghanistan.

Pfc. Brad Melton, 29, was killed by an IED while working with a clearance team on
Monday morning.

He had been in Afghanistan for about three weeks.

Pfc. Melton was in the military for more than a decade. He had also completed two tours
in Iraq.

Melton, who family members describe as friendly, loving and courageous, comes from a
military family and always knew serving our country was his calling in life.
"He always said 'dad I want to be just like you. I want to be just like grandpa', because
my father was also retired military, and he said 'I want to make you proud,'" said Steven
Beem, Melton's stepfather.

Melton has two children who are living with his ex-wife.

In addition to his two sons, mother, stepfather, and two sisters, Melton is survived by his
fiancé. Family members say Melton had hopes to marry her when he finished his third
tour, in the spring of 2012.

Melton's body is expected to return to St. Louis within the next couple of days. Funeral
arrangements are still pending.

Kabul - A bomber detonated his explosives in a busy restaurant in eastern Afghanistan

on Monday, killing four people and injuring 14 others, government and Taliban
spokesmen said.

The attack occurred in the main market of Ali Shing, a district in Laghman province, said
Faizullah Pathan, spokesman for the provincial governor.

'The four dead were tribal elders and the 14 injured people were innocent civilians, who
were having lunch in a restaurant,' he said.

However, Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said four militia commanders

were killed and 14 of their bodyguards were injured in the suicide attack that was
carried out by an insurgent named Abdul Wali.

'Some people might call these people as civilians, because they still wear civilian
clothes and don't have any uniforms,' he said.

“For Our Soldiers In Vietnam, Something

So Honest And Everyday As A Lighter
Became A Powerful Token Of Pre-War
Life, And A Way To Express Their
Frustration, Fears, And Loathing Over
The War”

[Thanks to Fabian Bouthillette, Military Resistance Organization, who sent this in.]

5/14/11 via The Selvedge Yard [Excerpts]

For our soldiers in Vietnam, something so honest and everyday as a lighter became a
powerful token of pre-war life, and a way to express their frustration, fears, and loathing
over the war.
These young men were sent into Charlie’s jungle to fight an invisible enemy, over a
conflict that many didn’t trust or understand– and about the only items they could take
with them from civilian life were a wristwatch and a lighter.

The Zippo became a symbol of their souls.

The often dark and powerful haiku-like sayings and mottos engraved on the side of the
old chrome Zippo’s often reflected themes of delusion, death, drugs, or sex. It was a
way for the soldier’s to express who they were, and how they felt. Many were like tattoos
not worn on the body, but carried in a pocket.

The old Zippo’s live on today as American folk art, and a haunting reminder of a
confusing and painful time for the men who were there, and our country as a whole.

Zippo got behind the movement with their massive marketing team, and flooded the PX’s
with their lighters to ensure they were easily in the hands of any soldier who wanted one.

You could pick one up for a little over a buck and have it engraved by a local vietnam
“jeweler” for about fifty cents. The Zippo’s also became like currency– a soldier could
barter their prized lighter for just about anything– a night on the town, or the company of
a woman.

*********************************************

One of the first acts of the Nixon administration was the appointment of the President’s
Commission on the All-Volunteer Force, to recommend proposals for eliminating the
draft.

The Gates Commission completed its work quickly, issuing its report in February of
1970, and soon afterward the signs of change began appearing.

In May, the Army announced that appearance regulations would be revised to allow
slightly longer hair.

A month later, in a dramatic signal of the new emphasis on personnel problems, the
Pentagon shocked the Navy establishment by appointing Admiral Elmo Zumwalt Chief of
Naval Operations. Zumwalt was promoted over thirty-three other admirals and assigned
the special mission of improving service life and bolstering sagging reenlistment rates

The liberal innovator immediately began shaking up Navy traditions, ordering numerous
changes through a series of highly publicized personal messages to the fleet, so-called
“Z-grams.”
Among the measures announced during Zumwalt’s first four months were relaxed
uniform regulations, beer in the barracks, the opening of hard rock clubs,
allowance of beards and longer hair, a ban on “panic painting” and other forms of
unnecessary harassment, and liberalized leave policies.

In December, Army Chief Westmoreland followed suit with a major directive

altering the traditions of Army life — among other things, eliminating morning
reveille, easing pass restrictions, and introducing beer in the mess hall.

In that same mother [January 1971] the Army launched a comprehensive Volunteer
Army (VOLAR) experiment designed to test its new liberal policies, focusing on the
197th Infantry Brigade at Fort Benning, the 3rd Armored Cavalry at Fort Lewis, and the
192nd Infantry Brigade at Fort Knox.

An example of the program was the Fort Benning Plan, which comprised some
106 proposed administrative actions for improving Army life, including such
measures as greater variety of food in mess halls, reduction of work schedules to
five days a week, replacement of soldier KPs with civilians, scheduling of
additional dances at post service clubs, and the improvement of barracks lounge
areas.

In addition, the Army conducted an experimental volunteer Army training program for
basic trainees at Fort Ord. The program for the first time eliminated the requirement for
shaved heads and called for a change in the traditionally abusive manner of drill
sergeants.

The experiment also removed such practices as infiltration-course training, midnight

inspections, and excessively long working hours

Of course, the end of conscription did not halt the GI resistance movement.

The assumption that a professional military would be free of dissension, that volunteers
would be more docile and acquiescent than draftees, proved wrong.

In fact, the GI movement had always been primarily a movement of enlistees, and filling
the ranks with volunteers thus actually increased the likelihood of internal dissent.

Indeed, the volunteer armed forces have encountered record peacetime levels of AWOL
and desertion and are still troubled by widespread political opposition and black unrest.

The volunteer force has faltered in other respects as well. It has created an
unprecedented crisis in the defense budget and has contributed to severe manpower
difficulties in the reserves.

Many have warned that an Army composed only of volunteers will no longer be
subject to the healthy internal questioning evidenced during Vietnam.

Inherent in this position is the view that the GI movement developed primarily
because the military was forced to draft middle-class college students.
While disgruntled ex-college students may have sparked some Gl-movement
activities, particularly certain of its more articulate expressions, the bulk of the GI
resistance came not from draftees but from volunteers.

The evidence available from an examination of the Gl movement suggests that the
majority of dissenters and organizers were volunteers from working-class backgrounds.

While by no means conclusive a number of small-scale surveys conducted in recent

years confirm this.

In March of 1970, the National Council to Repeal the Draft looked into the backgrounds
of twenty-five members of GIs United Against the War at Fort Bragg. According to Tom
Reeves of the Council, seventeen of the twenty-five activists had volunteered and
sixteen of the group came from lower-middle-class families.

In November of 1971, the United States Servicemen’s Fund sponsored a GI-movement

conference in Williams Bay, Wisconsin. Of the approximately fifty active-duty GIs and
veterans attending from various organizing projects, the vast majority were volunteers,
not draftees. At one meeting of active dissenters, an informal poll showed that eighteen
of the twenty men present had volunteered.

Additional evidence comes from an independent survey taken among members of

Vietnam Veterans Against the War encamped on the Mall in Washington, D.C., on April
2, 1971. The results of 172 returned questionnaires showed that approximately two
thirds of the veterans had enlisted in the service, while nearly 49 per cent listed their
father’s occupation as ‘labor.”

Further indication of the volunteer origins of GI dissent comes from the extensive
history of protest within the Air Force and the Navy, neither of which uses
conscripts, and the continuation of the GI movement beyond 1972, despite the
end of the draft.

These findings confirm the opinion of nearly every leading GI-movement figure with
whom I had contact in writing this book.

They also corroborate my own experience.

At Fort Hamilton and Fort Bliss, most of the people involved in anti-war work
were, like myself, volunteers from working-class families.

To be sure, many had volunteered most reluctantly, and some had been to college, at
least for a time; but very few were draftees.

This should not really surprise us, given what we have seen of the oppression of enlisted
service and the economic compulsion of volunteering.

It seems certain that lower-middle-class enlistees will not shirk protest against policies
and conditions they find intolerable.

This was best summed up by Sp/ Jim Goodman, former editor of the Baumholder
Gig Sheet in Germany:
“Draftees expect shit, get slit, aren’t even disappointed.

“Volunteers expect something better, get the same shit, and have at least one
more year to get mad about it.”

“It Is The Aim Of The State Police To
Support Zionism And Its Emigration
Policy As Fully As Possible”
From: Human Smoke; The Beginnings of World War II, By Nicholson Baker, Simon &
Schuster; New York 2008

REINHARD HEYDRICH, head of the intelligence branch of the German secret police,
read a position paper prepared for him concerning Jewish policy.

It was May 24, 1934.

“The aim of Jewish policy must be the emigration of all Jews,” the paper said. Jewish
“assimilationists”—those who wanted to live their lives as Germans within Germany—
should be discouraged; while Zionists—those who wanted to emigrate to Palestine—
should be encouraged, according to the memo.

“It is the aim of the State Police to support Zionism and its emigration policy as fully as
possible”:
Every authority concerned should, in particular, concentrate their efforts in recognizing
the Zionist organizations and in supporting their training and emigration endeavors; at
the same time the activities of German-Jewish groups should be restricted in order to
force them to abandon the idea of remaining in Germany.

In this way, Germany would eventually become a country “without a future for the Jews.”

Heydrich, a blond man with a high forehead and long, spidery fingers, began helping
Zionist organizations set up agricultural training centers, so that Jews would know how
to farm when they reached Palestine.

OCCUPATION PALESTINE

“For The First Time Ever, The

Palestinians Have Switched From
Commemorating Their Displacement
With Statements, Festivals, And
Speeches, To Actual Attempts To
Return To Their Homes”
“The Arab Spring’s ‘Winds Of Change’
Are Blowing Through The Refugee
Camps, No Less Than The Arab Capitals,
Toward Palestine”
[Thanks to Michael Letwin, New York City Labor Against The War & Military Resistance
Organization, who sent this in.]
22 May 2011 International Solidarity Movement [Excerpts]

On Sunday, June 5, the 44th commemoration of the Naksa, or setback, Israel’s 1967
expulsion of 300,000 Palestinians following the Six-Day War, Palestinian refugees will
return en masse to the borders.

Announcing the mobilization on May 18, the Third Intifada Youth Coalition said, “The last
few days proved that the liberation of Palestine is possible and very achievable even
with an unarmed massive march if the nation decides it is ready to pay all at once for the
liberation of Palestine.”

The Preparatory Commission for the Right to Return, a nonpartisan coordinating body,
has requested that supporters of the Palestinian liberation struggle also take action on
June 5, by staging rallies, marches, and protests throughout the world demanding
Palestinian refugees’ right to return.

Appropriate venues could include Israeli embassies, consulates, and missions, BDS
campaign targets, and foreign governments and international organizations that enable
Israeli crimes. ”The May 15 marches were not an isolated incident, but were rather a
declaration of the foundation of a new stage of struggle in the history of the Palestinian
cause, entitled: ‘The refugees’ right to return to their homes,’” a statement by the
Commission says.

For the first time ever, the Palestinians have switched from commemorating their
displacement with statements, festivals, and speeches, to actual attempts to return to
their homes.

The scene of refugees marching from all directions towards their homeland of Palestine
sent a powerful message to the entire world that the refugees are determined to return to
their homes however long it may take; and that 63 years were not enough to kill their
dream of return; and that the new generations born in forced exile who have never seen
their homeland are no less attached than their grandparents and fathers who witnessed
the Nakba.

What happened on May 15 was only a microcosm of the larger march soon to come, a
march that will be made by Palestinian refugees and those who support them. They will
pass the barbed wire and return to their occupied villages and cities.

The crowds will head out from everywhere there are Palestinian refugees toward the
West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and occupied Palestine’s borders with Jordan, Syria, and
Lebanon, in peaceful marches raising the Palestinian flag and the names of their villages
and towns, the keys to their homes, and certification papers.

The Arab Spring’s “winds of change” are blowing through the refugee camps, no less
than the Arab capitals, toward Palestine. And they show no signs of stopping.
