Writestream Radio Network

We're still getting back from the long Thanksgiving holiday, so we're replay our Veterans Day show with USNI Press author/poet Victoria Kelly. Enjoy! From the first muster of the Minutemen in April 1775, until the present day, our servicemen and women frequently have waiting for them at home, family, spouses, and loved ones. Today however, military spouses and loved ones undergo their own unique experiences as they remain home, while their soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines go off to the other side of the world, and often into war.  But just how happens to a military wife when, "the men go off to war?" While there have been a handful of books on the subject over the past several decades, there is a greater question to be asked. Just what does it feel like to send "your other half" off to an uncertain duty in a foreign land? Especially one that could potentially force they and their families to pay "their last full measure" to America? Often sentences and paragraphs in books something do not convey the f

While most of the world is nervously watching terrorism news from Europe, Africa, and Southwest Asia, savvy analysts and military professionals are watching the Western Rim of the Pacific region where tensions with the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) have been rising. Within a region known as the "9 Dash Line." China has been building a series of small island bases that include sensors, armed garrisons, along with airfields capable of operating fighters and large transport aircraft. Many observers see this as an act of regional aggression by the PRC, and have begun to react directly to Chinese harassment of aircraft and ships operating in what they consider "international waters." Most recently, the United States has begun to conduct "Freedom of Navigation" operations around these islands, arousing both anger and strong verbal reactions by the Chinese. The question is, is this a possible path to war? Or simply standing up to a PRC which has developed bullying tendencies over the past several decades? To lear

The explosive growth in the population of veterans being diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTDS) is becoming a genuine epidemic, as the condition is slowly becoming better understood and appreciated for its power and consequences. This is become especially prevalent in the 9/11 generation of warriors, as they are dealt with enemies and weapons which maximize the end affects that cause PTSD. Combined with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), PTSD is causing an explosion of consequences among our veterans population, ranging from unemployment and divorce, to a completely unacceptable rate of suicide and homelessness. One key problem is the lack of public awareness and understanding about PTSD, and the need to expose a broader audience within America to what needs to be done for our returning veterans. One such way are feature films, which have a broad public audience, though rarely focus on PTSD itself. And this is our subject today… To learn more about PTSD and efforts to create feature films about it,

As we prepare to celebrate Veterans Day, it is important to remember that our service personnel through the decades, did not undergo their military service alone.

Today however, military spouses and loved ones undergo their own unique experiences as they remain home, while their soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines go off to the other side of the world, and often into war.  But just how happens to a military wife when, "the men go off to war?"

Due to a sudden guest cancellation, we will be running this previously aired episode on the China Sea crisis: There is an emerging crisis in the East China Sea, which is threatening to go “Hot” in the weeks ahead. Last week, the People's Republic of China (PRC) extended their Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) into Japan's existing (ADIZ). This attempted airspace “grab” by the PRC is just a continuation of the existing Chinese policy of expanding their control over disputed islands and  offshore  Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) which are disputed by neighboring nations like Japan, the Philippines, and Vietnam. Most other nations are ignoring the Chinese claim, and continuing to operate with respect to the existing Japanese ADIZ rules and conventions. Since the PRC ADIZ change, a number of nations, including the United States, Japan, and Russia have all transited the disputed area with military aircraft, so far without incident. Japanese airlines are refusing to file flight plans with the PRC authorities
