Aloha Keakua,When is the US occupation going end?In every nation there are good and bad people.The US military must be more positive in how they use their energies...as a Hawaiian woman I am against the US occupation in Hawai'i and the other countries that are or were independent. Such events includes Indonesia, Louisiana, Chile and other countries that feel the affects of earthquakes, tsunami and any events caused by natural disasters.To use the military to "take over" another's country, is HEWA! This is what I hate and despise. I also hate when the military is given breaks in housing, while people on welfare who cannot afford to pay their rent are not accepted by land lords because they don't get as much from them then they do from the military.A recent bill passed third reading in the legislature for example: SB 2595 S.D.1 are exmpted as much as $1,555-as much as $3,401 (80%) while those on welfare have a waiting list and subject to only as much as the land lord is willing to settle for, which in most cases are 1/2...not 80%, as what the military gets. The Housing Development Corporation can give the military more than the welfare people? Because the military "serves their country" and "goes to war to protect us?" Let's be fair.The military personnel gets more breaks in Hawai'i then the welfare people do and I believe that is NOT FAIR to those who call Hawai'i their home and will probably die here. What is going on? If the State can look the other for the military, it's time the look the other way for the welfare people and those on the "HUD list" still waiting. What is up with that?These are issues that boils my blood and seek balance in Hawai'i for ALL the people of Hawai'i...not just for those who go into other independent countries and kills innocent women, men and children...what sick person thinks that that is fair? IT IS NOT!.That's my two cents.Onipa'a,Kawehi
