Thirty-two basic training instructors from Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, one of the nation's busiest military training centers, are under investigation on allegations of misconduct with 62 recruits and technical training students, all but three of them women. The following photos detail the events of the abuse-of-power scandal.

A judge today found an Air Force boot camp instructor, Staff Sgt. Eddy Soto, guilty of raping a former trainee.
Lt. Col. Matthew Van Dalen moved swiftly to the sentencing phase, where the victim tearfully testified about the impact the incident had on her life.
Identified as Airman 2, she said she pushed herself to come forward in the case in order to protect other airmen from being victimized.
“I just want to tell the Air Force if they can do something in basic training they won't have victims like me later on,” she said before leaving the stand, walking out of the courtroom with her head bowed.

Veterans for Peace says City of Boston reneged on St. Patrick’s Day parade agreement
03/13/2013 6:42 PM
By Martin Finucane and Travis Andersen, Globe Staff
Veterans for Peace, a national veterans’ group that has organized a second St. Patrick Day’s parade following the traditional parade in South Boston, is crying foul because, it says, the city has backed out of an agreement this year not to run street sweepers between the two parades.
The group asked a federal magistrate judge today to issue an emergency ruling ordering the city to abide by the agreement.
The judge, who has been presiding over the case for years, didn’t immediately issue a written ruling but said from the bench that, despite the city’s interpretation of one of his previous rulings, he had never meant to order the sweepers to roll between the two parades.
~snip~
But on Friday, the city, citing the 2004 ruling by Collings, informed the group that, while it would leave the barricades in place, it would deploy the street sweepers.
unhappycamper comment: I'm sure Mayor Menino would love to hear your thoughts on this decision.

It’s 2013, But Boston’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade Still Excludes LGBT Groups
Yesterday at 1:25 pm by Walter Frick Posted in St. Patrick's Day
This Sunday, much of Boston will head to Southie for the St. Patrick’s Day parade. But amid the drinking and the music, there’s a legacy of exclusion that continues to hang over the event.
~snip~
Fast forward to today and nothing has changed. It’s 2013, and yet the St. Patrick’s Day parade, a centerpiece of Boston culture, continues to exclude LGBT groups. Instead, there’s now a second parade organized by Veterans for Peace that starts right after the first parade, following the same route. And the best the City of Boston can do, apparently, is hold off on sweeping the streets until after the second parade finishes, so as not to give the impression that it’s time to go home after the first one.
The irony, of course, is that Massachusetts was the first state to legalize gay marriage a full eight years ago. And yet this kind of exclusion is still tolerated.
~snip~
Perhaps the most depressing thing about all of this is that most of the parade-goers this weekend will likely have no idea that the event they’re watching is organized by a discriminatory institution that has gone to great lengths to avoid moderating its stance. The parade is one of Boston’s marquee annual events, but it should also be a source of our collective shame.
unhappycamper comment: The Smedley Butler Chapter of the Veterans For Peace sued the City of Boston to put the street sweepers at the end of the second (ours) parade. We received word yesterday that Meninio said to put the street sweepers after the first parade.
I'm sure Mayor Menino would love to hear your thoughts on this decision.

FILE - In this July 19, 2012, file photo, military job seekers line up to speak to law enforcement recruiters during a job fair Thursday, July 19, 2012, in Irving, Texas. Even as it faces budget cuts and forced employee furloughs, the Pentagon is spending nearly a $1 billion a year on a program that sends unemployment checks to former troops who left the military voluntarily. But eligibility for the military compensation requires only that a person served in uniform and was honorably discharged.
Pentagon spends nearly $1B a year on unemployment
By PAULINE JELINEK, Associated Press 1:05 a.m.March 15, 2013
WASHINGTON — Even as it faces budget cuts and forced employee furloughs, the Pentagon is spending nearly a $1 billion a year on a program that sends unemployment checks to former troops who left the military voluntarily.
Unemployment Compensation for Ex-Servicemembers, a Labor Department program, is a spinoff of the federal-state unemployment insurance program. The Labor Department says the overall program is meant to help "eligible workers who are unemployed through no fault of their own" such as during layoffs.
But eligibility for the military compensation requires only that a person served in uniform and was honorably discharged. In other words, anyone who joins the military and serves for several years, then decides not to re-enlist, is potentially eligible for what could amount to more than 90 weeks of unemployment checks.
The program's cost rose from $300 million in 2003 to $928 million last year.

The A-Bomb and the F-35 Debacle
Want some perspective on the $397 billion F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Program? Check out its cost and timeline versus the cost and time it took to develop the atomic bomb in World War II.
~snip~
This means the cost to develop and buy just fewer than 2,500 F-35s comes in at staggering 15 times the bill for the A-bomb, a far more challenging, and truly scientific task.
Government-backed research and development of the A-bomb lasted slightly more than five years, from June 1941 until July 16, 1945, when the first bomb was successfully tested at the “Trinity” site, east of Socorro, N.M.
The Government Accountability Office reported Tuesday that the F-35 will not be ready for combat operations – or full production – until 2019, 23 years after Lockheed Martin won its first contract for the plane in a fly-off competition with Boeing.

F-35 program too big to fail
Posted: Friday, March 15, 2013 6:23 PM EST Updated: Friday, March 15, 2013 7:49 PM EST
By Kyle Midura
BURLINGTON, Vt. - This week, Sen. Patrick Leahy wrote to a constituent, expressing concern with the cost of the military's newest fighter jet: the F-35.
~snip~
In the letter, Leahy wrote: "The F-35 program has been poorly managed and is a textbook example of how not to buy military equipment." He said he would like to halt the program, but doesn't believe the bulk of Congress would agree, and therefore still supports stationing a fleet of the super-planes in Vermont.
~snip~
Politically, de-commissioning the plane would be nearly impossible. Production is spread over 45 states and is projected to employ more than 250,000 people.
Local opponents of the plane have said the jets could create an unhealthy environment for those who live near the airport, because the F-35 is louder than the current crop of F-16s.

Insight: Expensive F-35 fighter at risk of budget "death spiral"
By Andrea Shalal-Esa
WASHINGTON | Fri Mar 15, 2013 6:53pm EDT
(Reuters) - It's called the "death spiral," and America's newest warplane, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, is in danger of falling into it before the plane has even gone into service.
The term - recently invoked by top brass involved in the F-35 program - refers to a budgeting Catch-22 that plagues the defense industry. To keep the cost per airplane low, you need to build and sell a lot of planes. But in tough economic times, governments cut orders to save money. That pushes up the cost per plane, leading to more cancellations, pushing up the cost, leading to more cancellations. And so on.
The U.S. military is in the process of making tough decisions due to mandatory budget cuts from sequestration which went into effect March 1 and could lop off $46 billion of Pentagon spending this fiscal year.
Earlier this year, Pentagon budgeteers crunched the numbers on Lockheed Martin Corp's F-35 in an exercise that spoke volumes about the troubles facing the world's most expensive weapons system and the Navy's uncertain commitment to it.

British study: Young soldiers more likely to commit violent crimes
By our dpa-correspondent and Europe Online
London (dpa) - Young male soldiers who have served in Iraq or Afghanistan are more likely to commit violence offences than their older or civilian counterparts, a British study published Friday said.
In the largest study of its kind to date, researchers for the Lancet medical journal interviewed almost 14,000 British servicemen and women and examined their criminal records.
The most significant finding was that 20.6 per cent of male soldiers aged under 30 had been convicted of a violent offence, compared with 6.7 per cent of civilian men in the same age group and 11 per cent of all military men.
Young men involved in direct combat were 53 per cent more likely to commit a violent offence, said the study, which comes ten years after the start of the Iraq war.

fghan government troops, left, ride past Soviet vehicles on the road in Kabul province in 1988
Nato troops in Afghanistan 'in a similar situation to failed Soviet invasion'
By Ben Farmer, Kabul
4:38PM GMT 15 Mar 2013
Both the Nato campaign and the 1979 invasion were initially attempts to impose "ideology foreign to the Afghan people", whose aims were quickly dropped when they ran into difficulty.
Nato, like the Soviets, has been unable to "establish control over the country's borders and the insurgents' safe havens", or "protect the rural population", according to the paper written by retired officers for an internal MOD think tank.
"The (Soviet) 40th Army was unable to decisively defeat the Mujahideen while facing no existential threat itself, a situation that precisely echoes (the Nato coalition's) predicament".
As combat troops leave Afghanistan by the end of 2014, the country will again be left "with a severely damaged and very weak economic base", reliant for years on vast sums of international aid.
