Dear Global Forum Members and Readers:

THE KHAKI MAFIA, 1971 by Robin Moore, the author of THE GREEN BERETS, and June Collins.

THE KHAKI MAFIA is "A FACT-BASED NOVEL ABOUT THE CORRUPTION AND SCANDAL IN THE OPERATION OF THE U.S.
ARMY CLUBS."

"All right men, this is it. What we've done up to now is fun and games compared th what we're going to do. The
speaker is a Sergeant Major of the United States Army, and, far from exhorting his listeners to glory and heroism,
he is telling them that If every man in this room isn't a millionaire in the next three years, it's his own fault. His
listeners are other sergeants and a retired major general. They, and their followers, would become known as the
Khaki Mafia as they systematically looted the treasures of the Enlisted Men's Clubs and Non-Commissioned Officers
Clubs of Vietnam.

Rumors and stories of this corruption came to the U.S. Senate and an investigation was started which resulted in
gaining convictions and indictments on most, if not all, of the looters and bribe-takers in this sordid syndicate.

The key figure - and what a figure - was a beautiful blond entertained of the troops in Vietnam, Jody T. Neale.
In the course of her entertainment and show-producing activities she went from post to post, from camp to camp.
She made friends with and established intimate contacts with generals, colonels, sergeants , and G.I.'s. She saw
what was going on, she knew where the moneybags were buried, she penetrated the intrigues. And when the
treachery and the weapons of the Khaki Mafia threatened her as well as her livelihood, she decided to tell all to
the Senate investigators. Her cooperation and her testimony were the major factors in pinning down the chief
culprits.

Jody T. Neale is modeled on the real June Collins, coauthor of this book. Bits and pieces of her story and pictures of
her, with her real name, have appeared in the headline stories all over the world. She gave the basic facts to the
Senate Committee, but she told every detail of how she managed to get the crucial information to Robin Moore,
author of THE GREEN BERETS.

Robin Moore realized that the only way to present the whole truth of this sensational, fantastic mater without
affecting national security was through the form of fiction. He and June collins, without mincing words, without
shying away from shameful or almost incredible facts, have written this book to portray the amazing story of
what happened - and how - and what could happen again in the vast, disorganized and bumbling bureaucracy
of our country."

My Commentary:

The Real Truth herein is appallingly stranger than fiction.

This is merely one spoke in the corrupt wheel of the world of the Military Industrial Corporations, the Military,
the Pentagon and the U.S. politicians at each and every level.

Recall 09.10.2001, the day before 09.11.2001, Donald Rumsfeld admitted that billions and trillions of dollars
were missing from the U.S. government and military, all unaccounted for.

The secret records were stored in a special room in the Pentagon. Allegedly nobody knew.

But the next day, 09.11.2001, a U.S. Tomahawk Missile hit the exact room in the Pentagon where all records were
totally destroyed.

Power Corrupt, and Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely.
