Crestone Sangha Asks for Emergency Help

The United States Air Force is proposing to use the plateau around Crestone, Colorado as practice air space for the action they have been waging in Afghanistan, opposite the extremists who have broken Buddhist monuments as well as murdered Buddhist practitioners.
This precision goal is called LATN (Low Altitude Technical Navigation).
The Crestone sangha is requesting all of us to send an email to the Air Force, strongly propelling them to not concede the LATN program to fly over the San Luis Valley, which is home to their shelter center, Samten Ling. If allowed to proceed, pilots would fly low rise night sorties, 5 hours in duration each, half of which during extremely low altitude, i.e. around 200 feet. The sangha is essentially concerned about the noise, as well as the potential for the harmful wildfire should the single of the aircraft crash. We should also note there have been important stupas in the area.
This is patently the formidable issue, as well as as the deadline for comments is assumingly Nov 15th, quick response is indicated.
If you have been meddlesome in responding to Crestone's request for help, finish details have been accessible by clicking this link. We goal which in addition to all else they have been doing, the folks in Crestone will try to avoid receiving an adversarial posture, as well as instead enter in to the useful dialogue with the Air Force. We consider once they do, most of their fears will be reasonably addressed.

Those LATN precision missions fly over here all the time, as well as you do not find them disruptive. Granted, you do not have the wildfire threat potential they have in Colorado. That aspect really needs to be sorted out, as these missions have been no! t though estimable risk. Perhaps the Air Force will be means to supply firefighting equipment or capabilities to the shelter center, as they have finished in other situations around the world.
Nevertheless, when you hear those aircraft, you consider you have been conference the receptive to advice of freedom. If you say, "Oh! Those have been fight machines!" you have been of march correct, though every Buddhist nation in history has raised, trained, as well as upheld the troops capacity with "war machines." It is the fact of life, as well as either you proceed it with equanimity, or you assent ourselves to get dragged down in to "taking sides."
The Dalai Lama is on record acknowledging, as well as even supporting, the value of the clever troops capability, as well as we suppose you need to take which in to account prior to you assume the contrary position.

Of course, we have my own Air Force, so maybe we am prejudiced....Victory Through Hare Power, as well as all that.
