One important point that Judge Matthew Solomson touches on below: Parenting. We must call out the woke colleges and lower schools that have indoctrinated students with a brand of DEI that includes support for jihadi terrorists, but excludes Jews. The past month has exposed the hypocrisy and hollowness of many brands of DEI. But where are parents? Do parents not talk to their children anymore? If you have a child who has rallied to support the most barbaric murderers and rapists in the world, have you talked to your child? Have you asked your child if he/she is aware of the atrocities that Hamas committed on innocent civilians on October 7? Have you asked your child what “From the River to the Sea” means? Have you asked your child how someone could gleefully rip down a poster publicizing a three-year-old girl being terrorized 24 hours a day for more than a month by the worst monsters on the planet? It is obvious that many “elite” educational institutions cannot be trusted to carry out their mission of educating our children because the schools’ values are immoral. But where are the parents?

This story is such an eye-opener. shubhangi palve highlights the many issues paramilitary forces face - disparity, suicides, early retirement and job vacancies in crucial security posts . A MUST READ!

I'm deeply touched by the thoughtful review written by a retired military wife. Her decision to purchase another copy for her daughter and her family is the highest compliment I could receive. Knowing that my work is making a positive impact on families, especially in helping them struggle less with navigating such important matters, means the world to me. #GratefulAuthor #MilitaryFamily #PositiveImpact #ThoughtfulReview #PeaceOfMind #MakingADifference #JustInCase #EssentialPlanner #GetOrganized #JustInCaseSolutions

Do you belong to a tribe? How does it make you feel? Sebastian Junger covered the war in Afghanistan for more than a decade, often embedded in dangerous and remote military outposts. He is well regarded by members of the armed forces as journalist who captures well themes such brotherhood, trauma, and the relationship of the individual to society. (Thank you to FourBlock for this interview.) In this 4-minute video he explains to Veterans that...In a wealthy society, we really dont need each other very much, but when you go to combat, you are in a tribe and learn to trust other people with your lives - even if you dont like them. If these warriors and then dropped into an American suburb, they can easily become isolated and the risk of mental illness and suicide goes up. He explains further ... as a species we are wired to get over trauma but we are not wired for alienation and loneliness. If Veterans have a negative reaction to our society, he goes on... they may actually be doing quite well. They may have learned that a meaningful life requires being part of a group and reciprocity.

Season's Greetings to everyone. May the new year bring in better health, more wealth, continuing peace to everyone of us. May all the good wishes come true. Grateful. #resolutions #timetointrospect #whywedowhatwedo #nationfirst #thinkingoutloud #progress Time to introspect.... 1. Why do we wish people only for season's greetings? 2. Why do we remember the Armed Forces Personnel only during Independence days and Republic days? 3. Why do we think of the Nation more only in crisis? Time to do things right..

LEST WE FORGET: #Remembrance Day: every year on 11 November, #Armistice Day is commemorated across #Europe and the United States as it marks the effective end of the First World War (#WWI) - a day to remember the millions of lives lost to a years-long #conflict. At the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, the Great War ends. At 5 a.m. that morning, #Germany, bereft of manpower and #supplies and faced with imminent invasion, signed an armistice agreement with the #Allies in a railroad car outside #Compiégne, France. The First World War left nine million soldiers dead and 21 million wounded, with Germany, #Russia, #Austria-#Hungary, #France and Great Britain each losing nearly a million or more lives. In addition, at least five million civilians died from disease, starvation, or exposure. Remembrance Day is a memorial day observed in #Commonwealth member states since the end of the First World War to #honour armed forces members who have died in the line of duty. During the Second World War, many countries changed the name of the holiday. Member states of the Commonwealth of Nations adopted Remembrance Day, while the #US chose #Veterans Day (sources: History and British Legion).

“Armistice Day” commemorates the armistice agreement that ended the First World War on Monday, November 11, 1918. Lord knows we have so much more in common than we do which divides us and a complete evolution from all war would be invaluable for so many. Unless you’re a military industrial complex “defense” contractor. Then it financially makes sense to always have a “boogie man” to “protect” against. Armistice Day aka Remembrance Day is not only an opportunity to honor courage of past times but also an opportunity to reflect on what war means for future times. Particularly if it’s an industry we want to continue supporting or not. One of the easiest ways to ensure actions speak louder than words is to explore investment portfolios. To understand exposure into the “war machine”. Investors have a choice. Choose wisely. *none of this message is meant to disparage personnel who’ve survived or died in war — my own grandfather was shot down into the water from his helicopter during the Second World War Image credit: Peakpx #remembranceday #armisticeday #antiwar
