YOU CAN SKIP THIS PART(short joke)...SCROLL DOWN FOR NEWS BELOW
A young couple moved into a new neighbourhood. The next morning while eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbour through the window hanging the wash outside.
"That laundry is not clean," she said. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap".
Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time the neighbour would hang laundry to dry, the young woman would make the same
comments.
About one month later, the woman was surprised to see nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: "Look, she has learnt how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this!"
The husband replied: "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."
And so it is with life.
What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look.
Easy to discuss other people, their lives and things that don't really concern us.
Yet we tend to forget- our window isn't that clean after all.
Clean up your window with the WORD! (THE TRUTH.)
LORD, please give us the strength, humility and courage that we may work on our faults first rather than seeing the faults in Others and castigating them.
Have a beautiful Week !

NOW THE NEWS IN FULL.....
There has been talk of radical reform of decades. Finally, it looks like it might happen.
The PLA is long overdue for a complete overhaul. We've been saying it for years, and so has the PLA. Leading China military scholars of today all agree. The PLA is an outdated, unwieldy force that belies a growing technical prowess. I am not the first to note the PLA's glaring issues vis-à-vis fighting and winning wars; Dennis Blasko has already made many excellent points in his article earlier this year.
The chief issues can be boiled down to this: If the PLA wants to fight and be effective, it needs to enable a joint operational command environment, reform defense acquisition, reduce the role of its ground forces, and rein in regional parochialism. Of course, this premise is based not on its often vague and tepid stated goals – "defend Chinese sovereign interests." Rather, we should look deeper to the strategic signaling indicating its military intent over the last ten years. Greater global power projection, humanitarian aid, anti-piracy participation, among other objectives (the creation of the carrier notwithstanding). If the PLA wants to do the things it seems to want to do, it needs to change.
WNU Editor: When I was working in China in the mid 1980s the first Chinese soldier that I ever saw was actually a groups of Chinese soldiers disembarking from an old truck in the Fujian city of Xiamen. Their clothes were ill-fitting. No boots (sandals). They look pathetic, haggard and hungry (yes hungry). And .... here is the kicker .... they were the officers. On my last trip to China I saw a group of regular Chinese soldiers in a restaurant outside of Beijing. They were the complete opposite of what I saw 30 years ago. Professional, clean uniforms, well fed, big, tall, and strong. So yes .... the Chinese military has definitely changed over the years .... and I am confident that they will change even more so in the years to come.
KEEP SCROLLING TO THE END ...WE STILL GOT LOTS MORE .......
