Japan’s Nuclear Radiation and the Pentagon’s Free Medical Clinics in Kauai: Connection?

http://blog.buzzflash.com/node/13149


-snip-

Speaking as a part-time resident of Kauai, we've been immensely concerned about radiation plumes blowing over from Japan. If the government has been monitoring radiation levels, then that critical information has been concealed from the public.

Last week, an article appeared in the Kauai Garden Island news that caught my attention. Why is the Pentagon involved in providing free health care clinics, up to 350 clinical and non-clinical medical personnel, for Kauai's residents, the north island closest to Japan? Is the Pentagon concerned about radioactive cesium plumes carried by the wind currents across the Pacific Ocean from Fukushima's nuclear meltdowns?

Since when has the Pentagon cared about providing free health care, and why are the clinics under the control of the military, and why only on Kauai?

If the Pentagon suddenly converged near your hometown and a certain "Col. Jerry Arends, director of the Innovative Readiness Training Medical Deployments, declared that "This service is for all the people living in your city. There is no eligibility requirement. It's offered through a joint venture of the Department of Health office and the military, residents in need of free medical attention will be the beneficiary of this exercise," wouldn't you be a little concerned or curious? My guess is that you too would meet such a declaration from our wonderful, trustworthy and altruistic Pentagon officials with a healthy dose of skepticism and I might add alarm.
