VIDEO GAMES AND ARMY GUNS
2012-01-10 16:46:00 In a controversial move, the U.S. Army will be teaming up with CTA Digital, makers of guns for video game systems, to create military-branded product for popular combat titles like Call Of Duty 3: Modern Warfare. It is reported that the guns will feature a high level of authenticity including the Army's logo. What's most striking is that the move is part of an effort to recruit more young people into the armed forces via the glorification of games and guns. Nuts!
Court Reverses Termination for Default and Criticizes the Army Corps of Eng
2012-01-06 21:38:00 By: Michael H. Payne A decision was issued by the United States Court of Federal Claims on December 20, 2011, in Martin Construction Co. v. United States, a case involving a Corps of Engineers construction project in North Dakota. Martin was represented by Michael Payne and Joseph Hackenbracht, of Cohen Seglias Pallas Greenhall & Furman, and the case involved a termination for default by the Omaha District of the Corps on a multi-million dollar project involving the construction of a marina. The termination occurred because the Contracting Officer concluded that Martin was at fault for failing to complete the project by the required contract completion date. Martin had argued that the Corps’ design of the cofferdam (temporary dam), which was critical to the construction of the marina, was defective and that the contractor was effectively prevented from completing the marina according to the original schedule. The Court agreed that there was a defective design and found tha...

Army to Drawdown by 50,000 - The head ?Scout? of the Army?s Enlisted Force
2011-12-08 15:29:00 SMA Chandler with 170th IBCT (see below for photo credit) Sergeant Major of the Army (SMA), Raymond F. Chandler took some of his critical time to speak with the Bloggers Roundtable on Wednesday. He said felt like the lead Scout of the Army?s enlisted force and wanted to give us a feel of what the enlisted soldiers where concerned about and how the Army was dealing with their issues. The SMA was lively, interested in our questions and provided some great responses as he described an ?amazing Army?. He told us we were at a crossroads in the Army with reduced budgets and a drawdown of forces that will impact everyone. After he made opening remarks, I asked if he felt that the Army was taking care of the troops that were separating or retiring with employment information and assistance. He said this was a ?huge concern? and that they were ?doing the best we can?. Recent efforts within the Department of Labor, VA and White House have resulted in a coordinated program to meet the c...

Indian Army Abuse ? A Young Indian?s View
2011-02-25 00:27:00 I received this note from a young person living in India. Interestingly, in this person's report, the Indian army comes off badly and not the police. In the years that I lived in India, many Indians had great respect for the army but widely despised the police for their cruelty and corruption. Whatever the case, Sathya Sai Baba is heavily surrounded by both police and army personnel all the way to the very highest echelons. These days, he is very fragile, his thoughts and actions unfocused, but he still rides around on his huge gold chariot, mounts his golden throne, and celebrates his birthdays with an enormously extravagant and wasteful pomp that attracts the scorn of most and the blinded fervour of his devotees.

Indian Army and Police Torture: Wikileaks Revelations
2011-01-20 07:35:00 At Sai Baba's ashram at Puttaparthi in the south Indian State of Andhra Pradesh, one cannot but notice how - up to the top echelons - the ranks of the armed forces and police are to be seen represented in the mass pilgrimage there. For decades it has been so. These same Indian armed forces and police who flock to Sathya Sai Baba number many of those guilty of human rights violations, and the sort of atrocities referred to in the two articles from The Guardian, see below ... Where, then, is his restraining, so-called 'Divine Hand' on his countless devotees who are members of those barbaric forces? And on the governments who deploy them? Indian democracy? Yes, one may think it good idea .... The very forces of democratic law and order in India are far from reformed. His long-ago made undertakings to transform India are, at every level, refuse stacked on the tall pile of his many broken promises and predictions.

Police and Army Rapists Rarely Punished, Says Kavita Krishnan (Of AIPWA)
2011-01-11 00:48:00 Kavita Krishna, Secretary, All India Progressive Women?s Association, is one of those social justice reformers in India to whom I have at various times referred. Sathya Sai Baba forever preaches truth. right conduct and non-violence but here is an Indian woman who, among other terribly beleagered social justice advocates in India, risk life and limb. Like many other social reformers in India, she has pointed out: "Rape in police custody is very common in India, and in such cases, inevitably there is a huge cover-up and rarely at all has any police or army official ever been brought to trial in such cases". For many decades, visitors to Puttaparthi have seen Sathya Sai Baba surrounded by police and armed forces personnel all the way up to the top brass. His influence, then, in "cleaning up", to use his phrase, his "own backyard" before transforming the world has some severe limitations. These days, he is surrounded by Israeli-trained security personnel. The social justice a...

Notre Dame vs. Army - Good, Bad & Ugly
2010-11-22 07:15:00 No one here at On Down The Line is really excited about making the transition back to serious writing. But while I wouldn't go so far to say that we've recovered from our all-day Saturday blogging bender, at some point the sun for the next day rises, the beer bottles get swept away, and you have to get rid of that nonsensical final post with a beaver as the title pic from the front of your cruddy website. As much as Saturday was a win for ODTL, and a loss for calorie-counting as a practice, it was a comprehensive victory for the Notre Dame defense. Thanks to a demon-exorcising shutdown of Army's option attack, the Irish managed to make a trumped-up 'showdown' against a semi-frisky Black Knights team seem almost as beneath them as we'd hope it to be.
The Notre Dame-Army game has a Twitter account, and other absurdities
2010-11-18 01:00:00 Not like, 'it's a topic on Twitter' or 'the NBC account is pimping it constantly on Twitter', but no, the game...itself...has its own damn Twitter account. And a Facebook account....hell, maybe it's on Digg. At least unlike the Game T-Shirt, the social networking apparatuses can be quickly shed once the game has shown itself to be a dud. Buying individual game t-shirts has always struck me as moronic, but I'm also the type of person who spends a lot of time trying to judge what player's jersey I should buy based on the likelihood they'll stay with the team and whether they project to maintain their performance level over the next few years, so perhaps the inherent lack of re-usability of all this is just conflicting with my tendency to be a cheap bastard.
