"NATIONAL SECURITY PERSONNEL SYSTEM [NSPS]"

"..About 60,000 DoD employees, the first spiral in a wave of over 300,000, will transition into the NSPS system as early as July 2005. "

"GLOBAL POSTURE AND BASE REALIGNMENT AND CLOSURE [BRAC]"

"The new global security environment drives the approach to our domestic force posture as well." "..heavy Cold War garrisons will be replaced by logistical and training facilities that can be accessed quickly and without extensive negotiation or legal constraints."

<-watch out, this guy is dangerous

"Today, as we watch the great sweep of freedom slowly cross the world, we can still catch glimpses of Dr. King’s vision. We see it in the men and women in uniform who long ago recognized that skin color is of no consequence during times of great peril."

Donald Rumsfeld at the "Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Breakfast" (http://www.defenselink.mil/speeches/2005/sp20050113-secdef0981.html)

Ya, "skin color is of no consequence", cause the rich white kids dont hang out in the warzone, they stay at home like your friend Dubya did back then, bitch.

The Unknown
As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don't know
We don't know.
