well yet another pointless of utter pointlessness . Higher level of cangaroo courts in Turkey have decided the sentences handed out in a coup plotting case are almost correct . No issues with that in the sense they might be discussed in a general ranting on the course of the country . The thing is General staff has sent boxes of candy to the families of the arrested in a "show of support" . It wasn't liked by the families but that's not the issue either . They have , being so cute , have a siluette of the country on the boxes , which inevitably will end up in the trash bin after the contents are used . For anyone slated to receive a box of candies from General Staff probably has all sorts of medals and mementos all over the house , no room for a candy box on the wall , right ?
ı don't get all these sorts of mind games on the officer caste . They have proven to be easy , smack on the neck and get their meal easy ... No need to teach them they could discard the country and something like that , right ?
yeah , nobody gets it . It's so unfathomable and stuff . How about this way ? This boxing is to stop now!
people should grow up , you know . How about putting the picture of the Syrian Freedom fighter , the heroic commander who wiped his bottom with the flag , to incite Turkish civilians inside Turkish borders so that they could be taught who owned what ?

Interesting. There is a field manual for using pack animals in Special Forces operations.

Mammoth U.S. Navy ships arrive in the Philippines to help typhoon victims
Tacloban, Philippines (CNN) -- The U.S. Navy arrived with a mammoth aircraft carrier Thursday to bring much-needed aid to hundreds of thousands of Filipinos who have gone without food and clean water for nearly a week.
The Navy cut short the shore leave of the crew of 5,500 to send it on the relief mission to the area ripped apart last week by Typhoon Haiyan, one of the strongest cyclones on record.
Seven more ships accompanied the carrier USS George Washington. All total, they have about 80 aircraft on board that could participate in search, surveillance and distribution missions, said Paul Macapagal, a Navy spokesman.
But for now, they will lean the most on their 21 helicopters to carry supplies to hard-to-reach areas destroyed in the storm.
One of the ships, a nearly 700-foot supply vessel, made its first delivery of food and water to the devastated city of Tacloban in the Philippines.

Evidently Turkey is still worried about Syria getting froggy with their forces near Turkey.

HMS Illustrious to help in Philippines aid effort
The British Navy will send the aircraft carrier HMS Illustrious to help with the relief effort following Typhoon Haiyan, which hit the Philippines last week.
David Cameron announced the news during a visit to India, and added that the UK had given more than £20m in aid. The Prime Minister said that the ship will replace HMS Daring, which has already been deployed to the 7,000-island nation.
The Illustrious is currently in the Gulf and is expected to arrive in the Philippines on 24 November.
Its helicopters may be used to assist with the distribution of food and water to survivors stranded in remote locations, and its facilities to make water drinkable are likely to be in demand in a country where supplies have been badly disrupted by the typhoon.

From the article:
In an interview with Defense News, which observed the simulation, Assa said the scenario was based on extreme, yet realistic events, reflecting cyber capabilities that exist or are projected to materialize by state and non-state actors in the coming years.
What we all learned was how quickly localized cyber events can turn dangerously kinetic when leaders are ill-prepared to deal in the cyber domain, Assa said.

Recovery Effort Takes on Great Energy, Task Force Commander Says
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19, 2013 The goal of thousands of soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines engaged in areas of the Philippines devastated by Super Typhoon Haiyan is to restore normalcy to peoples lives, the commander of the U.S. military task force contributing to the relief effort said this morning.
Marine Corps Lt. Gen. John E. Wissler, commander of the 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force, spoke with the Pentagon Channel via satellite from his Joint Task Force 505 headquarters in Manila.
Wissler said 13,000 U.S. soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines are engaged in the relief effort. Troops have delivered 1,300 tons of relief supplies, logged nearly 1,000 flight hours moving 1,200 relief workers into Tacloban, and airlifted more than 8,000 survivors out of affected areas.
Wed begun an air bridge between Manila and the city of Tacloban that had initiated a significant surge in the relief supplies, the general explained. From Tacloban weve pushed supplies to other areas, Ormoc and Guiuan, and from there to people outside those major hubs, in a hub-and-spoke system that has worked very well.
He said the World Food Program has performed significant work in reestablishing sea- and ground-based lines of communication and distributing food assets so the military forces could eliminate their early reliance on the air bridge between Manila and Tacloban.

International Officers Bring New Perspectives to Pacom
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22, 2013 When Royal Australian Navy Commodore Ian Mandrake arrived at the U.S. Pacific Command headquarters this summer, the sea change it represented for the Pacom staff wasnt immediately clear.
As one of six combatant commands with responsibility for geographic regions, Pacom has a long history of hosting liaison officers in its Hawaii headquarters. Typically mid-grade officers, they serve as representatives of their home militaries who coordinate bilateral issues and activities with the Pacom staff on a daily basis.
But Mandrake represented the first wave of a new initiative that Navy Adm. Samuel J. Locklear III, Pacoms commander, is introducing to integrate senior allied officers into his staff.
The first international senior flag-level officer to arrive at the headquarters, Mandrake serves as Pacoms deputy director in the J5 Planning and Policy Directorate. A member of the Australian senior executive service, Cameron Ashe, arrived soon after to serve as deputy director in the J2 Intelligence Directorate. Another international officer, Canadian Air Force Brig. Gen. William Seymore, came on board as the international operations and engagements Officer in the J3 Operations Directorate.
All three positions previously had always been held by U.S. flag officers.

That is one low-level flying machine.
Oh right. It's taxiing. Looking for passengers to pick up, I suppose.
