The United States armed forces were ordered to invade a foreign land and remove its leader. But why? Why can't that question be truly and honestly answered?

Is it unpatriotic to denounce this unjust war in Iraq? Because nothing has been proven that this country was ever a direct to the United States. However, to say something against our troops being over there and give up their lives, needlessly, then you're being unpatriotic. I beg to differ.

Because what you're actually being is honestly reasonable. A fight without a reason isn't a fight. It's a crime. And for the United States government to send its military to a foreign country, without any probable cause or reasonable facts, is not only a crime to that country, but also a direct insult to the fabric of our democracy. And that, right there alone, is what truly can be considered unpatriotic.

The only thing that will ever be accomplished, in this war, is a failed history of facts.

In my opinion, this question betrays the intellect of a teenager. You know, someone who's mommy and daddy still coddle them - someone who has NO idea of the real world and actively seeks to retain their ignorance by hanging only with like-minded people.

What do you think?

Will all the anti war people be happy if there are no more US military deaths on foreign soil? Will the US media ignore any killing or fighting in other countries if the US military stays out of it or will we hear the wailing of liberals to stop the slaughter in other 3rd world countries? I am amazed at how people who want peace also believe it can be obtained with just words and flowers and that if we just ignore the bad guys, they will leave us alone. Is it so hard to see the reality of doing nothing about the bad guys could lead to more bloodshed and the belief that America will do nothing to stop it because the death of even one US soldier is to high a price to pay?

i was watching cops and a young cop on the show said that he was so young when he joined the force, that his mom had to buy his gun because he could'nt buy his own?

buy??? cops have to "buy" their own guns? i thought sidearms were departmental issue? i mean, the army does'nt make soldiers buy their own equipment

so if cops have to buy their own guns, do they have a choice of any sidearm? could they buy a desert eagle or a flintlock musket if they wanted that as their sidearm?

At what point do we pull the Guns off the rack? G. Washington, J. Adams, B. Franklin knew when.

They only paid a 3 % tax, and they were willing to die to change it. We pay 50 to 70 % of our pay for taxes. (income tax, employment tax, sales tax, utility tax, etc., etc.)

Before we had these taxes we were the richest country in the world w/ 'Zero' debt. Now China buys most of our debt and owns 'lots' of America.

Lying under oath about a meaningless sexual escapade that pretty much affects no one or dragging this country into a ridiculous war out of sheer stupidity, incompetency, or greed which has cost the lives of over 3,000 Americans and tens of thousands of Iraqis - not to mention hundreds of billions of U.S. dollars?

Republicans label anyone who disagree with them "terrorist" (which is weird because i don't think i have ever blown anything up). Most of the people in this country and in the world disagree with them. Does that mean that about 70% of the united states and nearly the entire world are terrorist? Does that mean that the republicans are going to have to kill over 6 billion people in order to win the war on terrorism?

I reported an assault video to the Corona police in California, it’s a kid(12 years old) being so vicious assaulted that he even threw up from pain. The offender did that just for fun and even in front of many class mates. It happened in a public park, so it’s the police responsibility. The kid didn’t report the offender, but there are many reasons why victims don’t report offenders and fear is just one of the reasons, and he is a minor so his parents or legal guardians must be informed OF THE VIDEOS, informed by the police. And that was all I wanted, for the police to inform the parents, I don’t need to know what the parents decide to do or what happens, but the police just ignored this incident!!!

How can I report the police???
Thank you.

I have walked with 120 credits in college but did not receive my diploma due to i need to finish a portfolio before they hand it to me. I am 28 years old. I have been in leadership positions with in the mortgage industry running a small team of 4. What are the odds that i can enlist as an officer . The only reason why would be to cover current mortgage obligation with the pay grade i don't mind just enlisting but i feel the pay would not cover my only obligation. I would be leaving a job making 60-70k yearly

I'M not trying to enter for the money I make 60-70k right now. I would be leaving it. I just want to be sure that if i enlist that my mortgage would covered. I don't care about money as you can see, I am going to make less just want to cover my mortgage.

Every time a republican is in a debate, they will use the phrase(or some variation of it) "you just hate america." It has been a staple of every republican argument for the past six years, isn't it getting a little played out? Is it a sign of laziness or desperation? Is it like in middle school when someone calls another person "gay", they automatically think they won the argument? Maybe it is time to come up with something a little fresher and original.

Oh and don't forget to call me unamerican.

Coined
In certain circles of the military being coined carries a significant honor, it means you have reached the apex of your M.O.S. (Military Operational Specialty) in other words you have come as close to perfect as humanly possible.
Perfect :( taken from a web dictionary) a: satisfying all requirements: ACCURATE b: corresponding to an ideal standard or abstract concept c: legally valid; EXPERT, PROFICIENT ; PURE, TOTAL d: lacking in no essential detail. The perfect shot is what everyone actually strives for it is their best shot
The shooter picks up the weapon and one feels all of the power and quality of the weapon. They know what is needed to fulfill the needs of the weapon for it desires someone with extraordinary skill to use it properly, accurately, and to the best of their ability. To do this the shooter knows what must be done to fulfill the requirements placed on their shoulders.
From the beginning, the feel of the wood, smooth dry and cool to the touch beckons feelings that seem primal and overpowering. The barrel is as dark as the danger that can arise from its use of this weapon. Cold to the touch and slick with gun oil, but free of dust and dirt. As the user disassembles the weapon to inspect it, one can see the quality and the care taken to build this system for the mandated use “Velox Mortis.” The shooter reassembles this system with great care to protect the quality and skill built into this piece of machinery by a master gunsmith and

that was designed by the best of this special breed of artisan. Carefully the ammo is picked. For target shooting, lightweight projectiles are chosen. This will make for a more pleasurable shot and will allow the shooter to shoot with little or no apprehension for each shot will be light allowing for a more productive practice.
