I don't understand how the two are related. Aren't the people that are against the war the ones who want to bring our troops safely home? I don't think anyone in the country (except that crazy Baptist group that protests soldier's funerals) is against the soldiers.

Lets say you are the head of a good ol' American firm, and you needed another worker, because the old one married and moved to Canada. You have two choices, a Republican and an Liberal, who both flash outragous political badges. Which one would you choose, and why? Would it matter?
If it did matter, would it be discrimination?

President Clinton, through his attorney, rebuked ABC for producing a "factually and incontrovertibly inaccurate" miniseries -- and walked the network through three make-believe scenes in the "the Path to 9/11" that defame people and misrepresent events during his administration. Clinton's spokesman later stepped up the pressure, condemning Disney as "despicable" for "airing a fictional version of what is a serious and emotional event for our country. No reputable organization," he said, "should dramatize 9-11 for a profit at the expense of the truth." The families of September 11 victims have weighed in on the controversy, telling "entertainers" not to "promote misleading or incorrect information as fact to the public." House and Senate Democratic leaders hammered Disney president and CEO Robert Iger, in letters that questioned the company's commitment to its "reputation ... as a corporation worthy of the trust of the American people and the United States Congress." Scholastic has pulled teaching materials off its website and has scrambled to adopt a plan to help teachers show students "the differences between factual reporting and a dramatization," but is still encouraging teachers to show their students this propaganda
I hear ABC is back in the edit room with “Path to 9/11” LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You see so many people blaming the US ARMY here for everything that goes on. We're at war, blame the army they're stealing the oil. Putting it in Jugs,and giving it to companies like BP,Shell and whatnot.

Yet, for any solider, to come back, the only things you're allowed to come back with are SOUVENIERS, like small Iraqi bills, and a few other things. We're not allowed to take SAND from iraq.

But we're hoarding the oil right?
And to add some conspiracy theory so you retards will love me. George bush is actually out there planting IED's himself. and then hes filling gas cans with more oil so he can get richer.

When will you people stop believing some of the stupid rumors you hear everywhere, stop spreading stupid conspiracy theories ( OMG BUSH FAKED 911 TO GO TO WAR WITH IRAQ! )
and finally realize that the war. has little to do with the army?

Or do y'all like spewing nonsense from your mouths?

I work for a sheriff's office and want to order about 6 golf shirts of various color and have them embroidered. Does anyone know where I might get some of these (minus the embroidering) for a decent price? Galls wants 20 buck or so. Any suggestions? Thanks!

My husband didn't hit me, it was a big arguement. I clld the cops b/c I was crying a lot and scared, i'm pregnant. I did not make an official statment, but I was advised later that the state can pursue a case against him even if I don't want to, and it will be worse b/c I am pregnant. The whole situation was blown up. I just don't know what to expect now. I want to filepaperwork for him to get a greencard.

Because there's alot in this world I find as reviling as Bush's revile for Saddam "war on terror" in Iraq - therefore - am I as justified in killing to meet my own goals? I would say Bush's justification of his wrath and for death is even less justified than my own. Therefore, logically, I have as much right, if not more, than Bush to bring death to others to meet my goals?

As we near the anniversary of the 9/11 disaster, why has no one ever, ever, yet come up with an explanation as to why Building 7 collapsed into a neat pile, whilst buildings nearer the towers stayed intact.

Why isn't anybody questioning what he did during, the week of, and directly after the planes hit? Just curious, as the anniversary of the tragedy is coming up. Five years, and not many have thought to ask.

And granted, some of them do, but the majority do not. Wouldn't we, as a society, be much better served if retired professionals sought second mini-careers teaching/mentoring and generally passing on their wisdom?

I'm not trying to tell people how to spend their time, but it seems that if people with some time volunteered more, we could start steering this country back toward where we want it to be.

my recruiter sent a list to me regarding the different jobs and their encentives. and i have found throughout the list that there are several job numbers (on the list) that are not on army.com. I have also been looking at what about.com has and have found that the jobs and descriptions are limited. can someone give me the location of ALL the possible jobs that the Army has to offer, including job number and description? I was also wondering, if I were to find a job that offers a 4000 enlistment bonus, when and how will I get it? I have heard that they will give half of it after completion of AIT and the rest in small sums over a period of time. can someone please help?

The slander, the obscenities, the name calling, the hate mongering.

People bashing the president, the liberals, the conservatives.

Is this what we really want in a Question and Answer forum?

I can understand when someone goes off once or twice, but when wackos are constantly spamming Answers with hate, I find you can pull up a list of all their questions and answers and tell if they are really spammers, and report each and every one of their abuses, pretty soon, their points drop really really low, and Yahoo! answers may even drop their ID.

This would work a lot better and faster if everyone were to look at all the previous questions and answers of the abuses, and if they find previous abuses they have not reported, to report them.

Honestly and fairly report abuses, don't use abuse reporting as a weapon against freedom of expression.

God Bless America, and God Bless Freedom of Speech!
