LAWTON, OKLA. – February 6, 2024 – On Saturday, 3 February 2024, following a long and heated Comanche Business Council Meeting, Comanche Nation passed Resolution 23-2024 opposing the Westwin Elements cobalt-nickel refinery proposed for Lawton, Oklahoma. Exerting the environmental jurisdiction they established decades ago to protect the region, and standing firm on their traditional boundaries, Comanche Nation also called for suspension of Chairman Mark Woommavovah, who gave the project his blessing. He later issued an apology and shifted blame to the city. Emails were presented during Saturday’s meeting that directly linked the Chairman to Westwin Elements, countering his claims to the opposite. The Resolution was introduced by Comanche Nation Vice Chairman Dr. Cornel Pewewardy. Saturday’s historic Resolution came just hours after a 5.1 magnitude earthquake – among the largest in state history. Some residents opposed to Westwin’s plant say the area’s vulnerability to earthquakes, flooding and tornados – Lawton is located in “Tornado Alley” – make it an especially dangerous site for an experimental refinery. Westwin Resistance also noted the explosion risks of the proposed refinery, which would be the first of its kind in the US, during last week’s massive gas pipeline explosion near Elmwood.  Local tribal citizens and residents have been fighting the refinery from the beginning, and recently formed a group called Westwin Resistance. The group’s 5 Reasons to Say “NO” to Westwin highlights dangers to the health of humans, animals and the environment, lack of transparency with tribal and community members, false promises of high-paying jobs, and the company’s complete lack of experience to build the first-ever cobalt refinery in the United States.

#Bloganuary Jan 31 - Best place to watch the sunset near me #wordpress #sunsets

I live in the far southeastern corner of  Colorado on the plains of the Comanche National Grasslands. This means I have an unobstructed view of the prairie all the time and in all directions. I can sit on my front step, stand in the street, or go a few blocks farther to the edge of town and see a sunset or sunrise any time I want. We often have glorious sunsets. My neighborhood isn’t the best…

My apologies for putting Pavlou on your dash but I’ve never understood this Zionist talking point. The majority of ethnic and religious groups on the planet do not have a nation-state. Where is this energy from Zionists for Circassians, for Druze, for Sikhs, for Comanche, for Jains, for, I don’t know, Palestinians?

Amestris Military Uniform

This is the second of my series of long posts about the Amestrian Military. Here, we will be talking about the military uniform, its components and different variations. The information here is mostly coming from the Perfect Guide 3 which has a whole section about the uniform. To see the rest of this meta series check out the Main Post.

The Amestris military requires soldiers to wear a military uniform. The military provides two types of uniforms: regular attire for use during normal times and formal attire for ceremonies and other occasions.

The regular uniform is composed primarily of a jacket, trousers, a skirt, a decorative rope, medals, collar badges, and epaulets.

The Amestris regular uniform. [1]

Collar badges The jacket's collar has two metal badges on the right side: the national emblem and an occupational emblem representing the soldier’s occupation and affiliation.[1]

The Führer-President (both Bradley and Grumman) is the only one shown to wear three badges (Although Bradley is shown wearing two at times). One of them being the national emblem and the other two being unknown (perhaps representing the Führer's role as both head of the state and the military).

Mustang's collar badges. The national emblem on the right and the State alchemist's one on the left.[1]

Grumman's (Left) [2] and Bradley's (right) [3] three collar badges.

Merit badges and medals  Medals such as the Special Skills Badge, Military Badge, War Merit Badge, and Seniority Badge are attached to the left chest as a chest badge. A large number of emblems indicates a person's career and accomplishments. Also, medals are usually omitted.[1]

Epaulets A rank insignia is attached to the shoulder, making it possible to tell the rank at a glance. The Amestris military has 15 ranks, starting at the top with the Führer-President, and is identified by the number of stars and color-coded lines. [1]

Formal uniform The regular uniform also serves as a combat uniform, and on occasions such as ceremonies, they wear the formal uniform instead. For the formal attire, they wear a long coat (jacket), leather dress shoes instead of combat boots, a formal hat, a saber, and the awarded medals on their chest. A black sash is also worn during funerals.[1]

In addition to uniforms, the Amestrian military is provided with various items. The supplied items have standardized specifications and types, and can be freely combined and used according to individual preference and ease of use as long as it does not violate military regulations.[1]

Among these items you can find: the black coat, the short hats and berets, combat boots, the winter coat, the inner wear, etc.

Different types of shirts and T-shirts are provided, including Hawkeye's black turtleneck. [1]

Uniform exceptions The State Alchemists that haven't joined the military as soldiers, seem to be exempt from wearing the military uniform as we see in the case of Edward Elric, Shou Tucker, and Giolio Comanche, who all wear civilian clothes even when visiting the Headquarters. However, they do seem to be required to wear the uniform when deployed in war, as we see both Comanche and Marcoh wearing uniform during Ishval.[4]

Had Bradley deployed Edward to the South, in the war against Aerugo, we could've seen him in uniform.

Doctors and scientists working for the military also seem to be exempt from the uniform. Knox is always shown in his medical scrubs, even in Ishval. Marcoh is the only exception to this, probably due to his status as state alchemist.[4]

Variations There are a few noteworthy variations of the Amestris military uniform, the Military Police uniform and the snow combat uniform being the most glaring.

Snow combat uniform When fighting on snow, soldiers wear white coats that blend with the snow, winter hats that protect their ears from the cold, thick leather gloves, and even goggles and masks to protect their faces.

The military police The military police wear black uniforms so that they can be easily distinguished from the regular soldiers. Since they also belong to the military, their uniforms are the same shape and material except for the color.[1] They do not wear epaulets. It's unknown if and how they're ranked.

While this is not explicitly mentioned anywhere, the military personnel in command of the military police are seen wearing an armband on the left arm, seemingly to identify them as belonging to the MP branch of the military.

Other variations Two other unexplained variations of the uniform are what appears to be the City Troops and the Civilian Employees.

City Troops Aside from the High Command Officers, all the foot soldiers the Eastern and Briggs troops fight during the Promised Day are wearing berets. They're identified by Olivier Armstrong as the “Central City Troops”. [7] Furthermore, throughout the story you can observe a few soldiers wearing berets both in Central City and in East City. These soldiers always appear to be doing guard duty.

It seems to me that the soldiers wearing berets belong to their corresponding city's troops and are in charge of the military security of the city (not the civilian one, that is the job of the MP). Thus they are the ones to respond when Central HQ security is breached during the Promised Day. 

Civilian Employees The other unexplained uniform variation is for the division that Sheska belongs to. They wear the same uniform as the regular soldiers with the exception of an insignia on the left arm and a lack of decorative ropes, chest medals, and epaulets (much like the military police it is unknown if and how they're ranked).

The personnel wearing these insignias are all women (that we see on screen). They don't appear to have combat training, we see at least one of them scared and being protected by a female soldier (without the insignia) during the Promised Day.[10]

It is my opinion that these women are civilian employees. Aside from their lack of rank and combat training the biggest hint towards this comes from the real world. The Imperial Japan Civilian Employees wore the military uniform with an insignia on the left arm. A red five points star that Arakawa probably wanted to avoid using, so as not to have it confused for a transmutation circle.

This is far from the only instance in which the real world influences the story and the symbolism. That's why the next post will be dedicated to the real world references in the Amestris Military.
