Shouldn't yahoo answers be a place where you learn something new that can be verified from a third party source (like the Census, Bureau of Economic Analyses, Treasury Department, NASA, American Meteorological Society, Library of Congress, etc)

instead

of a place of hearsay, anecdotes, and unverified opinions posing as facts?

I was in fort benning ga 2 1/2 years ago and I loved the army unlike most deserters. I had a terrible gambling problem going in. After AIT I went to airborne school where I soon got redirected towards my gambling habits. I lost a lot of money and needed to get some money quick to pay off debts. I asked for a leave to get a loan at a bank near home. They turned it down. Soon I was able to speak to a higher commander who gave me the leave. I won 27,000 dollars gambling during my leave and thought I could do it forever. I was blinded by an illness not because I did not want to fight for our country. I loved being a soldier my father was in the ARMY that's all that I wanted to do growing up. So 2 1/2 years later I have been pulled over 3 times had 2 tickets filed taxes every year and held a job all through out the AWOL/Desertion. I am tired of being ashamed. I am embarrassed of what I done and want to somehow make a good husband and father one day. I have gone to Gamblers Annyonmous and now i want to face up to the Army. I just want it to be known that I did not run because I was scared I want to be apart of the army I want to serve my country I just ****** up.

If you are a Democrat and oppose the war, shouldn't you be angrier at your own party? I mean, of course you expect the other party to do things you don't want so, why complain to them about it?

Is there any way to prove, that in an effort to create circumstances which require we Americans to be fearful and therefore need politicians, our federal government intentionally exercises poor foreign policy?
If we spend money (an amount far less than we are on the war on terrorism) to end poverty & civil strife in South America, central America, Africa and the Middle East, wouldn't we create a better world, one without demons, immigrants and terrorists?
But if we chose to not spend that money and allow conditions to get worse, don't we create the reason why people immigrate here? Don't we create the conditions (Africa & Afghanistan) that create terrorists?
God almighty this is the greatest country in the world, but there is such evil nonsense . . .

Do any of you, no matter which Party, or who you like or don't, or what you call yourselves or others get Frustrated by the Q & A's at times here?
I am not talking about Trolls either.
I am talking about People who obviously have no idea on a subject, and then spew hate as though they do and quote some Non-Sense website?
Anybody get depressed that so many folks have absolutely no idea what they are talking about, yet scream it with a vengence.
It just seems the level of education is so low.

Any thought? Or am I just a Grump Today???

This has to be the dumbest rule I ever heard, since when does the Military dictate who you can and cannot marry? My friend who is a Army Captain fell in love with a SSG who is in the Army also. They are the same age, different Brigade and everything, now the Army is trying to punish her for wanting to marry a Enlisted Soldier.

This has to be the stupidest thing I ever hear of, love is love, does not matter what color, gender, religion. If people are in love why does the Govt have a say so in the matter?

Can anyone in the military please help me understand this rule?

For Americans sitting in cinemas watching the summer's fun movies, such as The Simpsons and Hairspray, the trailer for Lions for Lambs is jarring and unexpected. It opens with a moody shot of the Washington Memorial, and shifts to a series of quick-fire scenes about President George Bush's "war on terror".
Lions for Lambs, scheduled for release in the US on November 9, is not a documentary nor an art house film nor even a Michael Moore-style piece of agitprop. It is mainstream Hollywood, starring Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep and Robert Redford, who also directed it. It is one of about a dozen Hollywood films due for release or being made that deal with America divided, the national debate over Iraq and Afghanistan, and other consequences of 9/11.

Frankly, with the housing market crash, the cost of gas prices, and the rising cost of electricity and natural resources, I don't see what is so good about it. Maybe during 2003-2005 we had a couple good years, but right now it's a mess.
Of course this is just my opinion. How do you feel about the state of our economy?

I know a lot of people from other countries who were in the United States temporarily and then either had to leave after a while or were deported. There are also a lot of international students who have to pay high tuition fees for school.

But a lot of immigrants from latin american countries are here illegaly in the first place and even benefit from free medical care and get their school paid for. They also work with fake social securities or under the table and then after many years somehow get citizenship awarded. Nobody seems to care that they are here illegally, yet with people from other countries they care. Why is that like that?

Amsterdam, Aug. 14, 2007 (CWNews.com) - A Dutch Catholic bishop has suggested that Christians should refer to God as "Allah" to promote better relations with Muslims.

Bishop Martinus "Tiny" Muskens of Breda told the "Network" television show that "God doesn't really care how we address Him."

Pointing out that "Allah" is a term already used by Christians who speak Arabic, Bishop Muskens said that humans are needlessly divided over such terminology. God, the bishop said, is above such "bickering."

My driver claims that he used to be a police officer in Indiana but I find it hard to believe since he was only 20 when he joined the Army. Does anyone know the age requirements and if so where you can find them. I know you don't qualify for the pension program unless you're over 21. I'm just curious cuz we listen to him tell bullshit stories all day every day and I'm tired of it.

When I was lying in my bed that night, I couldn’t sleep because my voice in my head kept echoing through my mind telling me to kill them."

You're reading the words of 12-year-old Christopher Pittman, struggling to explain why he murdered his grandparents, who had provided the only love and stability in his turbulent life. He was angry with his grandfather, who had disciplined him earlier that day for hurting another student during a fight on the school bus. So later that night, he shot both of his grandparents in the head with a .410 shotgun as they slept and then burned down their South Carolina home, where he had lived with them.
