To quote the official Republican platform, in their own words...\n\n"The supreme purpose of our foreign policy must be to maintain our freedom in a peaceful international environment in which the United States and our allies\nand friends are secure against military threats, and democratic governments are flourishing in a world of increasing prosperity."\n\n"Defeating terrorism requires the United States to:\n* help establish stable and democratic governments in nations such as Afghanistan and Iraq that once supported terrorism;\n* support front-line states and coalition partners;\n* deepen counterterrorism, intelligence, and law enforcement cooperation with allies and friends; and\n* energetically promote democracy, especially in the Broader Middle East."

Basically, it means that the military has total jurisdiction to try (go to court) with any person(s) or alien (non-citizen) who attacks or support attacks on military property or personnel.\n\nThis court is made up of a military commission (so like generals and possibly senators too).\n\nExample: you (an American) and your Arabian friend are associated with the Taliban decided to supply weapons for them to attack a US military base, and you were part of the attacking group.  You and your friend will be tried by a military commission.  Not in a tradition court with a judge and jury.  But in a panel without jury.

From recent research, it doesn't look like the NBA has a mission statement, but each individual team does.  You can go to www.nba.com and use their search engine to find out what the mission statements are for each team.  Also, this website has a history page where you can view the history of the NBA.  Hope this helps!

Certain conditions and restrictions apply when mailing items to military and civilian personnel deployed to Operation Iraqi Freedom in the Middle East and Persian Gulf areas.\n\nPrograms that allowed the general public to send mail addressed to "Any Service Member" were cancelled more than a year ago by the Department of Defense's (DoD). While popular with the public during Desert Storm and other operations, DoD's concern with security and transportation constraints led to canceling this program. The DoD recommends that individuals and organizations wishing to mail letters and care packages to individual servicemembers overseas refocus their activities into supporting the servicemember's family members at home.\n\nThe DoD recommends visiting www.defendamerica.mil and clicking the "Support Our Troops" icon as a means for the public to find out ways to support servicemembers.\n\nAddressing Tips\n\nThe DoD has requested that those who send mail use the servicemember's full name (with or without rank or rating), unit and APO/FPO (Air/Army Post Office or Fleet Post Office) address with the nine-digit ZIP Code (if one is assigned) and a return address. For packages, mailers are asked to print on one side only with the recipient's address in the lower right portion.\n\nProhibitions\n\nWhile there are specific restrictions for each five-digit military post office ZIP Code (APO/FPO), generally speaking, it is prohibited to mail the following to this region: \n\n• obscene articles (prints, paintings, cards, films, videotapes, etc.); \n• pork or pork by-products; \n• any matter depicting nude or seminude persons, pornographic or sexual items, or nonauthorized political materials. Although religious materials contrary to the Islamic faith are prohibited in bulk quantities, items for the personal use of the addressee are permissible. \n\nRestrictions are updated every other Thursday in the Postal Bulletin. Customers may also obtain this information by calling 1-800-ASK-USPS, or by visiting their local post office.\n\nAll military units are assigned an APO or FPO ZIP Code and in many cases that ZIP Code travels with the unit. The Postal Service places APO/FPO mail on special charter flights, commercial airlines, and military service aircraft at military and U.S. airports. When planes arrive overseas, the mail is tendered to the military and transported via local military transportation to delivery points.\n\nAccording to the Military Postal Service Agency (MPSA), depending on where the servicemember is located, letters and Priority Mail parcels to Kuwait normally take 10 to 15 days. Parcel Post packages take longer since they don't travel by aircraft within the U.S. prior to overseas dispatch. There may be size restrictions and customs declaration form requirements to some locations as mail going through the MPSA can be subject to the host country customs requirements. The time to deliver varies depending on the category of mail and the country of destination. Delivery may also take longer when armed forces are on the move during periods of heightened activity. \n\nPackaging Tips\n\nIt's a good idea to keep the following in mind to ensure that packages are delivered promptly.\n\n• Extreme Temperatures: Desert temperatures typically exceed 100 degrees.  \n• The Box: Select a box strong enough to protect the contents and large enough to accommodate cushioning. If reusing a box, cover all previous labels and markings with a heavy black marker or adhesive labels. \n• Cushioning: Cushioning the contents with newspaper is a novel way to send news from home. Styrofoam and bubble wrap are also good choices. Close and shake the box. If it rattles, add additional cushioning to keep items from shifting. \n• Batteries: Occasionally a battery powered item such as a radio or electric razor will turn itself on during shipment. Be sure to remove and wrap the batteries separately. \n• Sealing:

The text is: "The Attorney General may request the Secretary of Defense to provide assistance under section 382 of title 10 in support of Department of Justice activities relating to the enforcement of section 2332a of this title during an emergency situation involving a weapon of mass destruction. The authority to make such a request may be exercised by another official of the Department of Justice in accordance with section 382 (f)(2) of title 10."\n\nWhat it means is, the Attorney General can ask the military to help prevent and punish the use of weaposn of mass destruction in the United States. Generally, crimes committed by US citizens in the US cannot be enforced by the military, which is why this exception was made.

O.N.E. = Officer - Noncommissioned - Enlisted\n\nThe 'Army of One' campaign focuses on the strength and teamwork of the U.S. Army as a united force of many soldiers, while reinforcing the concept that each individual makes a unique contribution to the Army's success.\n\nThe first commercial for the new campaign features 22-year-old Corporal Richard P. Lovett, a combat engineer from Tampa, Florida, who's currently stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. \n\nThe camera shows him running alone across the sands of the Mojave Desert, with a squad of soldiers at one point passing him, running in the opposite direction. \n\nThen comes the voiceover. \n\n"Even though there are 1,045,690 soldiers just like me, I am my own force," says Lovett. "With technology, with training, with support, who I am has become better than who I was. And I'll be the first to tell you, the might of the U.S. Army doesn't lie in numbers - It lies in me. I am an army of one. And you can see my strength."
