The document discusses the U.S. drone program in Pakistan, highlighting its reliance on human intelligence and no-bid contracts benefiting connected contractors. It criticizes the assumption that all threats are confined to a small geographical area and questions the representation of American families in military engagements. The author expresses concerns about the manipulation of public opinion regarding foreign interventions and the socioeconomic backdrop of the volunteer military force.

- 1. GREY AND DUBIOUSAREAS OF US DRONE PROGRAM IN PAKISTAN AGHA.H.AMIN In 2006 a policy decision was taken to attack likely targets based on human int reports made from 2 to 5 km location of target. the drone program is designed to benefit some contractors. secrecy is used as excuse for no bid contracts or selective cartelling of contractors like dyncorps , blackwater and many others. what is black waters qualification to get a 22 million USD no bid contract in kabul ? the absurd part is that drone program assumes that all bad guys are in a box of 60 km X 40 km ? This is most absurd.Why cannot the bad guys be outside this area. I am not against drone program but i am against drones being used only in two districts . how is it possible that all the troubke creators are in two districts. secrecy has been used to benefit some contractors who have close links in CIA , DIA and DOD ? a glance at CVs of many defence contractors points a picture. its all economics and about money .
- 8. AN AMERICANS COMMENTON MY MAP ABOUT GRAND CONTRADICTIONS IN US STRATEGY Thus - only way to stop American adventurism is a Draft that means all families will be looking at what we are doing overseas and ask, "Is this really a War of Necessity" as our beloved president claims and in most cases they will say "NO!!!" The other problem is that we are an all volunteer professional army. Thus, the average family doesn't worry about their son or daughter going to ear - not their problem. Thus the majority of Americans are not affected by our foreign interventions until something like 911 and then we get this "Blind Flag Waving Patriotism" and don't ask why - we just say go and get the baddies - giving our political elites and the military industrial complex free reign!!
- 9. My guess ismany of the young lower rank soldiers are not that well educated & come from lower middleclass or poor families - the military guarantees them a job, food, clothes, roof over their heads and given today's economy - not a bad deal. They are easily turned into killing machines and if they die - other than their immediate families - they are like beggars in the street - cannon fodder, expendable - that no one cares about - likely the case for most militaries - you won't see the sons and daughters of the elite on the front lines if at all - and if at all most likely they will be protected in the Green Zone! Major Amin: Thanks - a picture tells a 1,000 words as they say. You are educating a lot of people. I am sorry but our political elites don't represent our people and I fear many of the youth are brainwashed with filtered information and ideology - they haven't lived and seen the world so are easily manipulated and mislead. I guess this is a global problem today and you with think with the INTERNET and the information age it would be hard to do - but our media is controlled by the corporates.
