World War 3, Asia-Pacific Front: USMC admits Iraq, Afghanistan & War on Terror just preps for war with China!

18 June 2013 (16:31 UTC-07 Tango)/09 Sha’ban 1434/28 Khordad 1391/11 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

The U.S. Marine Corps has revealed a new COIN policy; kill the enemy, then kiss and make up afterwards: “Asking young Marines to kill at one time and not at the other, and being able to talk to someone immediately after coming out of a firefight…”-USMC Brigadier General Richard Simcock, Marine Corps Forces Pacific

According to several USMC sources the new policy, being run out of the Center for Advanced Operational Culture Learning in Quantico, Virginia, is a way of preparing Marines for future/expected military operations in the Asian-Pacific area (ie China).   The policy went into effect in October 2012.

Also, USMC non-coms will now have to ‘volunteer’ to become experts in the cultural values of certain regions of the Asia-Pacific, if they want to be considered for further promotions.

This seems to coincide with the island hopping exercises that have been taking place off the coast of California since 2010.  Those war games involve Japan, Australia, New Zealand, United States and even Canada.

I remember when soldiers and Marines considered being used as nation building Global cops abhorrent.  But in 2006, USA General David Patreaus and USMC General James Mattis revised U.S. COIN policy in FM 3-24 Counterinsurgency, saying “Soldiers and Marines are expected to be nation-builders….” 

Former U.S. Ambassador to Iraq, Ryan Crocker, says the future military adventures of the United States will require soldiers and Marines to double as diplomats.  (as a former warrior with California & Idaho Army National Guards, during the Cold War and post Cold War, I say bullshit on that!)

USMC officials have admitted that they have been given orders from the Commander in Chief, Barack Obama, to focus on the Asia-Pacific region.

USMC Major Thomas Ross stated that the experiences of Afghanistan and Iraq were instrumental in leading up to the current U.S. policy in the Asia-Pacific region.  This can only mean that the United States government is about to launch a war of control (in the name of fighting terrorism?) in that region.

According to two U.S. government agency reports (the Congressional Research Service and the Government Accountability Office) there are at least 108000 taxpayer funded private contractors in Afghanistan (30000 U.S.), and there is no way to know what they are actually doing: “CRS found that the Pentagon lacked the ability to document the work each contractor is performing. It also found even when the government has information on contractors, it’s often inaccurate and doesn’t reflect the actual work being done. This leaves the Pentagon unable to determine if the hundreds of billions it’s spending are leading to effective results.“-David Francis, Fiscal Times

The article points out that the U.S. must be behind the skyrocketing illegal drug production and trafficking, as well as being behind the corruption: ” Make no mistake: The U.S.-led coalition of nations present in Afghanistan is by no means blameless. It installed the current leadership and financed sham elections. It lectured against corruption, but looked the other way when it came to act against it. And the phenomenal growth of poppy cultivation and opium trade took place under the very noses of 100,000 foreign troops. [‘In 2001, Afghanistan produced about 200 tons of opium. Today, that figure exceeds 8,000 tons.’]”
