I'd heard rumors alleging this about the despicable Manning.
He had to have a security clearance and supposedly, a thorough background check to have access to the information he released. Somebody obviously dropped the ball.
Bradley Manning got a lot of people killed and needs stood in front of a wall...

All this crap started in the 70s when psychiatrist declared homosexuality was no longer a mental illness. Really! I mean REALLY! I've known a lot of homosexuals in my time, and I can't remeber one that didn't have at least one wheel off the rail in their train. Some of them were just a little disfunctional, and some of them were complete disasters. I guess my question is; did they declare homosexuality normal because they knew more homosexuals would come to them for their services as psychiatrist so they could help them or make money off them with their services? Either way, I think the fears that people had by allowing gays to openly serve in the military are coming true. If a person has trouble understanding who, or what they are, then why would you trust them with secrets that affect national security?
Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

Can't we all just get along ~ RK


WWII veteran Delbert Belton survived being wounded in action during the Battle of Okinawa only to be beaten and left for dead by two teens at the Eagles Lodge in Spokane on Wednesday evening.

Witnesses say Belton was in the parking lot of the Eagles Lodge at 6410 N. Lidgerwood, adjacent to the Eagles Ice-A-Rena, around 8 p.m. Wednesday when the two male suspects attacked him as he was about to head inside to play pool.

Police responded with K-9s to track the suspects' scent but were not able to locate them.

"It does appear random. He was in the parking lot, it appears he was assaulted in the parking lot and there was no indication that he would have known these people prior to the assault," Spokane Police Major Crimes Detective Lieutenant Mark Griffiths said.

Belton died from his injuries Thursday morning at Sacred Heart Medical Center.

"Shorty," as he was known by his friends at the Eagles Lodge, served in the U.S. Army in the Pacific during WWII and was shot in the leg during the Battle of Okinawa. He went on to work at Kaiser Aluminum at the company's Trentwood plant for more than 30 years. Belton's wife passed away several years ago.

He loved playing pool, even though he claimed he was no good at it and had been a member of the Eagles Lodge for the last four months. In addition to playing pool he loved working on cars.

Shorty was Ted Denison's best friend of 23 years; the two played pool occasionally and worked on cars daily.

"He was always there for me when I needed him," Denison said. "We'd joke back and forth. We were always having fun, some sort of fun."

He was the kind of nice old man who'd become your friend in minutes.

"Probably every time I come into town, he'd have a project for me to do," Denison said. "I thought of him more as a dad than I did a friend really."

Now, with the suspects still at large and the Spokane Police Department working to track them down, Shorty's friends are hoping for justice.

"I don't understand how somebody could do this. I really don't," Denison said.

Spokane police are looking for two male suspects in the attack. They said the suspects are African Americans between 16 and 19 years old. One suspect was described as heavy set and wearing all black clothing. The other was described as being about 6 feet tall and 150 pounds. There was no description of what clothing the second suspect was wearing other than a silk do-rag.

The people who would attack that poor man are examples of other people in this country who have some wheels off the track. 

There are a bunch of politicians and educators and journalists in America in need of some serious medication, too.

The description will be excused from court because it is racially biased. Loco
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

I went through same process and they were thorough but it is amazing to see some of the people that either were just pushed through the system or never followed up on. Say What

The UK papers are saying the naval yard shooter was processed by the same contractor.
