Some of the world’s largest military installations are located within the Continental US, and at least four of these are hundreds of miles away from US borders. Fort Hood, for instance, is nestled in North Central Texas, Fort Bragg in the heart of North Carolina, Fort Benning on the Alabama-Georgia border, and Fort Campbell on the Kentucky-Tennessee state line. With wars always impending or somewhere on the horizon, are these large military installations located where they can best protect America and her interests? The crisis on our nation’s borders is of concern not only to government leaders, but also to every individual American affected by the problem. Even though tighter security measures have been imposed to avoid the entrance of illegal aliens, there are still those who successfully make it through the system. As much as possible, we need to know who is here to ensure that we don’t allow the free movement among us of people or organizations who wish us harm. The need to secure ourselves and our interests within our own borders has been misconstrued in many ways. Idealists and people who simply want to promote their own agenda are often quick to point out racism or elitism. Obviously, one cannot speak on behalf of every single American citizen and say nobody here is a racist or an elitist, but to secure one’s welfare is a reasonable endeavor. In fact, as we enjoy the privileges of being Americans, it is our responsibility to ensure the security of the country. Alerting authorities of suspicious individuals or groups is part of that responsibility, as well as questioning authorities regarding whether or not our military forces are strategically located to protect us. Most of our military installations were constructed during a time when we wished to hide these establishments from the rest of the world. We needed these places to be as far from scrutiny as possible. But times have drastically changed. Even from the other side of the world, enemies may scrutinize our bases using satellites and other stealthy means. With just a single security breach—for example, where encryption is concerned—enemies may expose many US secrets. So do we still need our bases to be out of the way and far from where borders? Shouldn’t some thought be given to moving these military installations, or at least some components thereof, to new bases closer to critical areas? How much defense capability is actually needed in the rolling Central Texas countryside, or in the deep unspoiled woods of North Carolina and Georgia? If war, or even the slightest attack of terrorism, should ever come to our doorstep again, we owe it to each other to be prepared. Every American should ask the tough questions now, before it becomes too late to act on them. Where should we have military bases? Where else can we fortify our defenses? Read the full article

Remembering Neerja Bhanot on hijacked Pan Am Flight 73. She died heroically, saving Pan Am passengers from terrorists on Sept. 5, 1986. Neerja Bhanot was senior flight purser on the Empress of the Seas, a  Pan Am 747 hijacked at Jinnah International Airport in Karachi by four armed men from the Abu Nidal organization en route to Frankfurt and New York. During a 17-hour ordeal, she helped the three-member cockpit crew escape in order to ground the plane so it could not be flown. Bhanot hid passports of passengers so the hijackers could not determine passenger nationalities. She also managed to open the emergency door assisting a number of passengers to escape from the plane. As the hijackers opened fire on passengers and crew, Neerja Bhanot lost her life shielding three children from bullets. In 1987, she became the youngest and first woman recipient of the Ashoka Chakra award, India's highest civilian decoration for bravery. In 2004, the Indian Postal Service issued a stamp in her honor. In 2006 she was awarded the 2006 Special Courage Award by the US Department of Justice. In 2016 a film entitled "Neerja" was released, portraying her herioc life. @sonamkapoor . . #neerjabhanot #neerja #flypanam #panamflight73 #terrorismattack #1986 #rememberingneerjabhanot #jinnahinternationalairport #karachi #hijackers #ashokachakra #bravery #courage #sonamkapoor https://www.instagram.com/p/B5xFXY2IA-z/?igshid=h2udrzgszrfh
