Just as the pen is mightier than the sword, your vote will always carry greater strength than any gun. Here's a spot Mullen put together for the Federal Voting Assistance Program to remind American servicemembers to send their votes home where they belong. This is my weapon. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My rifle, without me, is useless. In the new Department of Defense public service announcement (PSA) the Rifleman's Creed acts as a call to action -- your vote is your most powerful weapon. It will debut on the American Forces Network (AFN) during Super Bowl XLV on February 6, 2011. The message, your vote is your weapon. Register.

Anti-solvent abuse PSA directed by Will van der Vlugt and produced by Cliff Freeman & Partners. One of the only other versions I managed to find on YouTube was a recent version screened on the American Forces Network which had horribly bleached colour, a slower-framerate (which caused images to start blurring), and an alternate soundtrack for it. Here is the ad as it was intended to be shown.

The US soldier accused of a massacre of Afghan civilians will be charged with 17 counts of murder and six of assault and attempted murder. Staff Sergeant Robert Bales is currently held in solitary confinement at a military detention center in the US and could face the death penalty if convicted. Earlier this week his attorney said there's a lack of evidence against his client and he has no memory of incident. Meanwhile the Taliban has already vowed to take revenge against American forces, saying it doesn't trust a US court to deliver justice. Jim Brann from Stop the War Coalition says Washington privately views Afghanistan's leaders dismissively - a policy it follows in dealings with other countries.

This is a series of rare audio interviews, conducted in June of 1985 in Sion, Switzerland, and originally broadcast by the American Forces Network (AFN)/ Bremerhaven, Germany. Journalist Tracy Thibeau recalls the occasion: "About 1980, I read an article in INSIDE SPORTS magazine about a self-published baseball statistician who was tinkering with the traditional formulas. His name was Bill James and I was impressed by what this man was discovering. In 1984, I was a reporter for American Forces Network Europe. I was a dice-baseball enthusiast and one day I phoned Dallas Adams, a brilliant statistician who shared my hobby and also lived in Europe. Dallas informed me that Bill James was coming to his home for a visit. Suddenly, I saw an opportunity to interview Bill James for AFN, so I suggested it to Dallas. He asked Bill and Bill accepted. Bill, incidentally, is an Army veteran himself. Understandably, network funding for a trip to Switzerland for me was out of the question. In 1985, few people were familiar with Bill James. But Cpt. Tom Leahy, Commander of AFN Bremerhaven, heard me out. He said that if I was willing to go to Switzerland at my own expense, using my own leave time, he would at least listen to my features and judge if they were newsworthy. After listening to the finished productions, the Captain enthusiastically gave the green light. The two baseball men were easy to get along with and they patiently answered all of my questions.
