If you value our sovereignty, you will be appalled by the following news.
Just a month after a heated encounter with Chinese naval forces in the Pacific, the Defense Department is opening it’s doors to People’s Liberation Army personnel to train on American soil.
Yes, you read that right: Chinese soldiers on American soil. Sure, it’s “only” 80 soldiers, and it’s “only” for disaster relief training, but since when did our government decide that we need the cooperation of a communist dictatorship to aid in crisis recovery efforts?
As noted China expert Timothy Heath says, “It’s a big deal,” but not for the reasons he gives. Rather than being a sign of an “improving security relationship” between two superpowers, it is yet another a sign of the government’s willingness to compromise our security and sovereignty in order to open our borders to foreign military forces.

All of us American Veterans would like to thank the Republican Congress for your support.
In a shameful display of partisan obstruction, the Mitch McConnell led Senate Republicans a blocked a bill that would have improved veterans benefits.
Senate Republicans blocked the veterans bill by using a procedural maneuver to invoke the 60 vote rule. The final vote to waive the budget point of order failed, 56-41. Only two Republicans (Sen. Dean Heller and Sen. Jerry Moran) joined with Democrats on the vote.
Republicans claimed that they blocked the bill because Majority Leader Harry Reid would not allow an up or down vote on an amendment that would have attached sanctions on Iran to the bill.
Sen. Reid said, “I hope all the veterans groups have witnessed all the contortions the Republicans have done to defeat this bill. Shame on Republicans for bringing base politics into a bill to help veterans.”
The chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee, Sen. Bernie Sanders, said,
The only message that can be taken away from today’s vote is that Senate Republicans think it is more important to deny President Obama a “win” than it is to help our nation’s veterans. The bill contained provisions that would restore the COLA for vets, and protect them from losing their benefits in the event of another government shutdown. It also would have authorized the construction of 27 new clinics and medical facilities, and it would have provided tuition assistance to post-9/11 vets.
It is the kind of legislation that used to be a no brainer, but it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the same group of Republicans who think that they shouldn’t have to pay the nation’s bills also want to renege on their obligations to our veterans.
Senate Republicans committed a disgraceful betrayal of the promise that has been made to those who put their lives on the line for this country. I hope this is a wake up call for vets who think that the Republican Party has their interests at heart.
The Republican Party doesn’t care about veterans. This vote stabbed veterans in the back, and should make every vet question why they would ever vote Republican.
We’ve been training with other country’s military forces, forever.
You stick your toe in the water to check the reaction before you jump in previous visits are conditioning so you will drop your guard and say oh they have been here before.
