the war in Iraq? Without carpet bombing, nukes, or changes in rules of engagement. Just the Bush tactics of US "offensives" that US troops never really know if they are winning or not because they don't have any idea how many insurgents there are.

Support the troops??

I said it before on YA....
Supporting the troops means more than standing at side of road and waving a little American Flag when troops prepare to deploy.
U.S is always giving VETS the fid.
Bragging about an increase of VA funding 2 or 3 Billion Dollars.
Chickenfeed.

excerpt from link

There's a great deal more to supporting our troops than sticking a $2 yellow ribbon magnet made in China on your SUV. There's a great deal more to it than making "Support Our Troops" a phrase that every politician feels obliged to utter in every speech, no matter how banal the topic or craven the purpose.

This week, we were treated to a new expose of just how fraudulent and shallow and meaningless "Support Our Troops" is on the lips of those in charge of spending the half a trillion dollars of taxpayers' money that the Pentagon eats every year.

Identity cards info?

Someone told me that you'll have to swipe them whenever you make a purchase and that if you buy alcohol twice in 24 hours then something happens, is that true?! I don't really mind about them because I have nothing to hide but what exactly will they have on them or what will they be used for? Basically I just want to know more! :)

Can someone give his / her opinion about the overtime rate in various countries on rest day or holidays?

Normally, the overtime rate in many countries during regular days is 150% and during rest days & holidays also 150% but in some countries the overtime rate during rest days and holidays is 200%, sometimes even more depending on the management in order to encourage people to work overtime even if the labor law is fixing it at a lower rate. In case higher overtime rate is already being practiced for a long time, is it still legal to suddenly change to labor law rate just by issuing a memo?

What is the big deal about being in the military?

Why is it so hard for someone that agrees to talk to a recruiter to actually stick to what he/she agrees to and sit down and let the recruiter inform him/her/or them about the benefits about the Army? There is no way that any recruiter can put anyone in the service the same day.

Capital Punishment?........?

I was thinking about the strong disconnect many Americans have when it comes to crime and punishment. I am neither pro death penalty nor anti death penalty, but I cant help but wonder why public executions no longer take place?..I know the thought is terrible but when did we decide it was more humane to execute someone in the bowels of some dark jail rather than in the public square where the citizens are involved (like they should be)? Is it a way for citizens to shelter themselves and absolve themselves? We have an enormous crime problem and one reason for it is the average citizens refusal to get involved with the moral consequences of dealing with crime and punishment...Just for the sake of argument, do you think public executions would demand that citizens get involved and shoulder the responsibility they seem to be running from?

This administrations sacrificial lamb?
Do you think the orders came from Cheney?
What would be Cheney's motivation?
Perhaps to keep the American people placated so it appears the administration is cracking down on corruption --- when in fact this is just the tip of the iceberg?
