The United States government has admitted that in 2002 it has placed military forces at one time or another in at least 180 of the world’s 210 nations, and articulated its intentions to place ground, air, and marine forces in virtually every land, air and sea space in the world. Thus, it is incumbent upon men and women in the armed forces, or those interested in joining same, to be well trained in international and U.S. Constitutional law, and versed in the history and customs of local people around the world whom you will be encountering.

As Homo sapiens begins its second millennium C.E., it has reached a critical point in its long, seven-million-year evolutionary journey. A simple, yet gigantic adaptation is required, especially among those living in "Western civilization," to enable this species’ continuation on its evolutionary branch. Let us not deceive ourselves any longer. If we do not make this adaptation our species will soon become extinct, a fate already recently met by thousands of the other approximately 10 million species on this planet.
