Poka Laenui Letter To The Editor Honolulu Star Advertiser letters@staradvertiser (Response to Sat. 1/10/15 headlines on Army Cuts) Where’s truth-telling regarding military-Hawaii relationship? U.S. General Schofield and Colonel Alexander were spies, reporting in 1873 on Hawaii’s military usefulness to the U.S. This report supported U.S. invasion against Hawaii in 1893. U.S. military in Hawaii is a history of deceit, occupation, land grabbing, and suppression of the freedoms and liberties of our independent Hawaiian nation, under the guise of bringing freedom and liberty to the rest of the world. Their military sneak-attacked Hawaii, and has never moved to correct this injustice. Settlers come to Hawaii under U.S. umbrella, cooperate with their military, and deny this historical injustice. Instead, they, such as Governor Ige in his inauguration speech, insists “we are all immigrants”, ignoring the integrity and rights of our Hawaiian nationals. Supporting U.S. military presence is a crime, a participation in the crime of occupation and colonization of Hawaii. Army go home! Aloha, Poka Laenui
