In the Best Interest of the United States. Wednesday, June 3, 2009. The Tough Topic of Abortion. I am so very reluctant tonight to discuss the topic of abortion, but, in light of the recent shooting of Dr. Tiller, a physician who performed late term abortions, I wanted to briefly address this subject. Let me start by saying that abortion is murder. Is this a strong statement? Yes, it is but what else do you call a procedure that terminates a human life? The problem with this issue is that rarely is abort...

http://buprofessor.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 11, 2009. March 9, 2009. Ali Al Salem, Kuwait. Indianapolis, Indiana U.S.A. Hopefully, this letter finds everyone well. I am doing very well due to being home on my leave. I cannot express to you how great it is/was to see my family, friends, my students, and everyone else who has supported me. I want to organize this letter chronologically so I will start with the week that I left Iraq. This is what YOUR military members do! I have come to hate sandstorms! If you look between the two bu...

Professor in Iraq: Letter 15
http://buprofessor.blogspot.com/2009/05/letter-15.html
Sunday, May 17, 2009. May 14, 2009. Perhaps it is the multiple deployments, the time away from home, or whatever the news will give you as a cause for this action. I will tell you that I have been on multiple deployments to different combat zones totaling about 30 months in. It is not even June yet! But hey…it’s a dry heat! You know why they say that…because at this temp all the freaking water has evaporated! Butler University now has a “street” named after it in Iraq! I would have never guessed. The...

Thursday, June 25, 2009. June 18th, 2009. This latest letter is going to be interesting for me to write as I have two extremes of emotions. The happy side of the letter revolves around my wife and me celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary today! 8230;Shelby was so upset that I would enforce “the rule”! Anybody want a beagle)? God has been really good to me, and I feel blessed everyday for my family. Finally, he emerges and hands the medic a cup of stool! What can you say? I will say this most of the TC...

Professor in Iraq: Letter 13
http://buprofessor.blogspot.com/2009/04/letter-13.html
Saturday, April 4, 2009. We finally arrived in Atlanta and of course our flight to Kuwait was long gone. I expected to be spending the next 20 hours or so sleeping on the airport floor, or balled up on segmented airport chairs…but hey the Army put us up at the Crown Plaza hotel at the airport in Atlanta…and paid for us to have three meals! I had a nice spacious leather chair that even had a foot rest…cool. Below is a picture of her with her head shaved:. How cool is my wife! I am very proud of her and he...

Professor in Iraq: December 2008
http://buprofessor.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 27, 2008. Letter 8 December 26, 2008. It is one of the few cases in American Soldiers seen in our area of operation (AO) within Iraq. It is amazing that I saw a case of leishmaniasis here and it is my dissertation topic. The chow on Christmas was pretty good. They served us prime rib, glazed ham, and turkey…wow…here are some pictures from our chow hall. The sign above the manager states that the items are all made out of bread dough. It was a pretty amazing piece of food art. I...Wow&#...

In the Best Interest of the United States. Wednesday, May 27, 2009. Good Evening Everyone,. Because they simply cannot afford the malpractice insurance required to continue practicing. I have been blessed in that I have only had to testify in court twice and neither case involved a patient that I was treating. They were procedural matters that involved appropriate management of a patient by another provider. I hope you are all well. Thursday, May 14, 2009. Education: Who's Leaving Our Children Behind?

In the Best Interest of the United States.: Education: Who's Leaving Our Children Behind?
http://usbestinterest.blogspot.com/2009/05/education-whos-leaving-our-children.html
In the Best Interest of the United States. Thursday, May 14, 2009. Education: Who's Leaving Our Children Behind? It is no secret that our public system of education has a tarnished reputation. There are no shortages of reasons as to why this perception exists. Our high school graduation rates are at an all time low, our children’s academic scores are tanking, and young people are entering the work world lacking the necessary educational tools needed to succeed. As always, our government response to decli...
