Executive Assistant to the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (DASD) for Military Community & Family Policy (MCFP) in the Organization of the Joint Chiefs at the Pentagon.
Today the nations remembers and honors National POW/MIA Day. The Defense Department (DoD) remembers and honors those Americans who were Prisoners of War, those who served and never returned home. The DoD’s POW/MIA Accounting Agency continues the search for the missing, fulfilling the nation’s promise to leave no service member behind. History In the United States, National POW/MIA Recognition Day is observed on the third Friday in September. It honors those who were prisoners of war (POWs) and those who are still missing in action (MIA). It is most associated with those who were POWs during the Vietnam War. National Vietnam War Veterans Day is March 29, the date in 1973 when the last US combat troops departed the Republic of Vietnam. The POW/MIA Flag should fly below, and not be larger than, the United States flag. It is generally flown immediately below or adjacent to the United States flag as second in order of precedence

I have been in the army reserve for a number of years, and last week for the first time acted as excon staff for our unit’s main exercise. The theme was handling prisoners of war in a situation of large-scale regular combat, something The Netherlands hasn’t had any real experience with since the Korean War. Hopefully things will stay that way, but if they don’t it’s better to have thought this through beforehand. One important question is how to handle POW according to the Geneva Convention while retaining freedom of movement and freedom of action for combat operations. The preparation and the exercise provided some interesting insights into the dilemmas and practical problems involved. #cimic #lawsofarmedconflict #

Private armies, also known as private military have become a reality in many parts of the world today. The concept of private armies forming when central governments are weak is not just theoretical; it is a practical solution for landowners to protect themselves and their properties in times of strife. It was the thematic ground when I conceive the idea of orange army. Imagine a world where conflicts are resolved not by countries' armies but by private military contractors. The involvement of private armies in conflict situations raises complex issues regarding human rights and power abuses. While their effectiveness is sometimes acknowledged, the necessity for stringent regulation and oversight is paramount to prevent potential abuses. The discussion around private armies and PMSCs remains a contentious topic in global security conversations, emphasizing the importance of addressing the challenges they present. #PrivateArmies #GlobalSecurity #PMSCs #ConflictResolution

Will Pendragon U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs James J. Klug US Navy John Podlaski The Joint Staff Brian Bardsley Gary Dangerfield Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Marvin Stepson United States Courts Eddy Cavanagh U.S. House of Representatives Paul Friedrichs See my comment on my Navy 56 years AD post. I've filed Whistblowers' & IG complaints in Judicial, Legislative & Executive Branches for protections and award multipliers against VA employees AND 3rd party assignment of entitlement and/or Power of Attorney as unlawful waiver of rights. Only Marines were with me "In Country" (on battle line) none of these 3rd parties. Today 5/7/2024 House approved self-verification for immediate benefits on self-statement of VET, Delay or Denial is financial Crime. ALL Veterans of All U.S. Wars are ONE. Grant's & Lincoln's 1864 Soldiers & Sailors Hospital Act to protect & serve criminal rebel slavers is foundation of VA. I filed a Whistleblowers' and Inspector General Complaint with House Ways & Means, VA and DoD Committees as well as DOD IG, VA IG that House amended VA/DoD/Pact 2024-2025 Budget via SPECIAL BUDGETARY ACTION apparently approved by Senate and POTUS 46. EVERYONE should apply as it is law (now) duty disability, pay, awards, specialty pay and stipends must begin 60 days after application with BURDEN OF PROOF on all levels of Government in judicial Branch PRO SE' #unity #equality #veterans
Agent Orange was supposed to help soldiers during the #VietnamWar by eliminating shrubbery where enemy soldiers might hide. The military knew there were side effects yet continued to spray. Vets have been suffering & dying since. Read more on my website: https://lnkd.in/emfuUvU

Some very important stories and lessons here, I am looking forward to hearing more and how this can be changed for the better
Our important work would not have been possible without the courage of people with lived experience of military suicide coming forward and sharing their story, and the support of the broader Defence and veteran community. Hear from some of those who participated in the Royal Commission about why they got involved. #DVSRC

#israelapartheid should speak to #professional #recruiters on the quality of #candidates they recruit! #israelapartheid is recruiting random soldiers around the world! They killed their own people, and blamed it on someone else! This is the kind of quality you get at workplace when you suck at your job! At the workplace, recruiting randomly will also kill your business! Truth will always prevail even after 70 days of #internationallawbreach, crimes, atrocities, mass destruction, with a closed eye, ear, and mouth from #internationalcommunity, #internationalcourts, and #democratic world #leaders. Naive #Hamas doesn’t have capability for such destruction! To #israelapartheid you are just too stupid!
"Israel’s army on Tuesday admitted that an “immense and complex quantity” of what it calls “friendly fire” incidents took place on 7 October. The key declaration was buried in the penultimate paragraph of an article by Yoav Zitun, the military correspondent of Israeli outlet Ynet. It is the first known official army admission that a significant number of the hundreds of Israelis who died on 7 October were killed by Israel itself, and not by Hamas or other Palestinian resistance factions."

The truth is the second you take off that uniform… No one gives 2 diddly squats about what you did or didn’t do while in the military. 10 deployments, 5 to Afghan, Iraq, Syria, Somalia - pick your poison. No body cares. The quicker you can grasp that concept, the better off you’ll be. For one of my most controversial videos, here ya go: https://lnkd.in/d-aqP4Da
