Any ENLISTED personnel been stationed, or know any that were stationed at West Point with the Garrison there? It appears that there are support personnel there and was wondering about anyone's experiences with that. MOS's they or other personnel had that were assigned there, number of personnel, avg day at the academy, any interaction with cadets? The web site says 1092 active duty personnel including enlisted, but that is all.

And... Who Comes Home First?

I am so tired of being told I don't care about the soldiers in Iraq because I support our President and the mission of stabilizing Iraq before we leave. The most recent statement I have come across is "It seems that they have no heart and will risk additional American lives in our war with Iraq just to show that they have a plan and to save face on their failures in Iraq"

I do NOT believe it would be a wise move to just start randomly pulling our men and women out of Iraq. You can't just start pulling men and women out of Iraq on a moments notice and leave the ones who are still there more exposed to enemy attacks while there is still so much instability.

How do you ask the last American to leave Iraq to be willing to die because he was the unfortunate one to be in the last group to leave? How do you do that?

How do you choose who stays and who leaves FIRST before that country is stable?

Its been like 6 years. The fact is, nothing has really happened since in the USA. Not because of measures taken by state, but the fact NO ONE CARES ANYMORE. Unless you count the slaughter of Iraqis. Who are the real terrorists?

Why is it that whenever liberals either ask a question or answer one they are usually unable to state their views truthfully or factually?

I've noticed that I'm not the only person who frequently starts an answer by correcting the mistakes in a liberal's question. You can save us a lot of time by thinking about what you're saying, or you can be publicly embarrassed by those of us who can correct you from memory.

Have some self-respect, for your own sake. Hating your country and your president is not a legitimate point of view, it's an emotional bottomless pit, and none of us are affected by it, just you. And blurting out obvious conspiracy theories in public just makes you look dumb.

I'm telling you this to help you.

Air Force Chief Master Sgt. John Gebhardt, of the 332nd Expeditionary Medical Group out of Balad Iraq cradles a young girl as they both sleep in the hospital. The girls entire family was executed by insurgents; the killers shot her in the head as well. The girl is receiving treatment at the U.S. Military Hosp in Balad, but she cries & moans often. According to nurse at the facility Gebhardt is the only one who can calm down the girl, so he has spent the last several nights holding her as they sleep in a chair.



This was sent to me as an email with a picture attached of the Chief Mstr Sgt & the little girl aslleep in a chair. The photo was taken by Airforce personnel. The picture would surely make you take a long pause and take a hard look at this mans humanity.

In a recently circulating email, I read the following. I am an American living in Belgium, and want to research this further. Please comment, with references that I can check later. Thanks..............

''''Britain had already gone bankrupt, saved only by the
donation of $600 million in gold bullion in the Bank of England, that was actually the property of Belgium, given by Belgium to England to carry on the war when Belgium was overrun by Hitler (a little known fact).
Actually, Belgium surrendered on one day, because it was unable to oppose the German invasion, and the Germans bombed Brussels into rubble the next day just to prove they could. Britain had already been holding out for two years in the face of staggering losses and the near decimation of its air force in the Battle of Britain, and...'''

"The military's new weapon is a ray gun that shoots a beam that makes people feel as if they will catch fire.
The technology is supposed to be harmless -- a non-lethal way to get enemies to drop their weapons."

Has the military gone off it's rocker? Will this end War as we know it for all time?

1) A solicitor was jailed last year for 2 years because he failed to tell the authorites about a suspicious property transaction, he was a qualified solicitor and posed absolutely no threat to the public.

2) Another man helped in the beating to death of a student during a street brawl and his sentence in prison was 3 YEARS.

Maybe they should have an open day where British people people who are suffering from criminals roaming our streets who should be in prison can be allowed to kick these judges right up their cracks for incompetence and not be penalised for it.

Describe an activity or hobby that you enjoy doing in your free time, and explain why you like that activity so much.

On my free time I like to go out to play golf because I enjoy the sport and love it. It helps me out on my exercise and I'm out doing something

He has said had he not known what he does ( does he know anyhing) he would not support Iraq and he has also said Iraq is another Vietnam. Vietnam was not a good thing. Is he grasping for a foothold on the slippery slope?
