Much had been said in the Media about the humiliation of Iraqi detainees especially regarding the issue of forced Nudity. From Personal Experience I can relate that much of what went on in Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo were similiar to the humiliations heeped upon me and my fellow recruits during Boot Camp @ Parris Island in 1984. It had been stated that Rumsfeld may be tried as a war criminal if found guilty by the German High Courts. Additionally, a great majority of the American Public would like to see all those MP's given longer prison terms. Well what about the DI's in Marine Corps bootcamp? or the recruits who operate under their strict draconian brand of discipline? I think we (marines) were/are far more humiliated from the moment we took to the infamous yellow foot-prints upon arrivaI. Is there anyone out there that sees the hypocracy/bias of the media when it comes to their own men in uniform besides me? Why don;t newspeople, or the american public in general care about us?

I have an old friend currently in the USCG. I looked him up on a social networking site and found his page. It says he's unable to visit his page often, so I've yet to receive a response to my messages.

I'm curious. I always thought that the USCG dealt solely with domestic waters rather than venture into international waters, much less international land. Yet, on his webpage he has hosted photos of himself along with other USCG servicemen in Africa and Portugal. Does this happen often? Are there USCG personnel in Iraq or Afghanistan also?

Thanks in advance, all!

all over the news it only talks about the war, so we just don't watch it anymore but then something new comes on. thats why we don't know anything about the very world we live in. i think its quit simple, in order to understand the world around us, we must understand ourselves. do you agree that americans pay more attention to other countries?

i must have a point, you see how much our government has changed. even without our permission. laws being passed and rights being demolished.

Any military wives out there? Or anyone who has gone through ROTC, or anyone who is even in the military?
I'd like to know how much free time is actually given what with Ranger Challenge, Airborne camp, Air Assault, etc...
I'd also like to know what the life of an Army Wife actually intails..treatment, lifestyle, happiness, etc.

Thanks so much.

It's been discovered that they used their Republican Party email accounts, instead of their Federal employee accounts, to circumvent the Presidential Records Act. Other potentially incriminating emails have simply been "deleted." The few of them who will testify before Congress blatantly lie and smirk in the faces of the investigating committee members. Yet when these same adminstration officials spy on us, they assure us that if we have nothing to hide, we have nothing to fear. How can the truth they're hiding ever reach the American people?

...I'd be demoted. I haven't actually been counseled on the SB yet. I got in trouble again this morning -- here's my question. If my squad leader counsels me on this before I'm counseled on the SB, can they still use that against me /after/ I'm counseled on the SB to demote me?

okay. so i was seeing this psycholgist for about 2 years. i was only there for my ADD. i started getting worse, and am now suffering from GAD, PTSD, Depression and ADD while i was going there. i used to be okay then stress caused all of this. he chnaged my medicated sooo many times. almost everytime i was there because they werent helping, but he was puting me on things that my school and other adults were saying a 17 year old should not be on. sleeping pills, anti-depressants, & concerta. he would always change the sleeping pills and anti-depressants only after like 2 weeks of me being on them. i was also seeing a counselor there. we switched places because we heard things about the psychologist, and went to a different place. we found out he is not allowed to perscribe me medication, and that he was signing a different doctors name, a doctor whom i have never even met before. is this a reason to sue this man?

Hi all,
i would like to ask if there is any law or 'protection' for pictures like engineering blueprints, ideas or even concept from being copied by people who have seen them online.

i have considered patents but they are too expensive, usually in the thousands. thank you for ur time ^^

Since we exhale CO2, increasing our "carbon footprint," will they someday require us all to wear breath counters and those who exhale more than the law allows will pay a breathing tax? Would they curtail cardio workouts and all sports for producing too much breathing and exhaling?

Now I realize the true meaning in the film's title, "Waiting to Exhale." Maybe they'll make it like the power companies: Peak time during the day and off-peak at night...hence, we'll all be waiting to exhale.

Bush is adamant that Congress allow him to wiretap without a warrant. Far as I know, that was unconstitutional in the pre-Bush era.

I understand that we need to be able to combat terrorism. However, if the FBI or CIA or NSA have a good reason to spy on someone, how long does it take to get a warrant?

Is the fear that the individual of concern will flee? I was under the impression a warrant could be had in less than a day.

Is that delay of one day (give or take) enough to justify trampling on your rights?
