Politics & Government - 21 October 2007

My commander wrote a letter of recommendation to keep me in. I recently emailed him letting him know that I believe a general discharge would be an adequate punhisment and I would like to leave. My commander told me that I would not be discharged in the near future.

I would like to know if he has a right to say this and keep me in the military. Does any have experience with anything similar?

These tests stand for a purpose and he has ignored them.

Is Bush really a Marxist?

Marx stated in writings that what will ultimately lead to the destruction of capitalism is an increased concentration of wealth into the hands of a fortunate few. With the middle class disappearing, bankruptcy at an all time high, and 2 million people losing their homes, has this presidency been setting us up for a Communist revolution?

One mom to another, could you please weigh in on this for me?

Moms (and dads, sure, your opinion is valued as well), I genuinely need your feedback on what I should do here. My oldest son, who I love dearly, is in Army ROTC in college, graduating this year. He is a top student and top cadet, and is really looking forward to going active duty as an officer.

The problem is, he has a medical condition he's hiding that would disqualify him from being on active duty.

What do I do? Say nothing, and hope the Army finds out on their own? Drop a dime on him and get him out of there? I'm really torn on this one. I should add, it's a medical problem that wouldn't affect his ability to serve at a desk job, but if he gets deployed to that hell hole across the way it could get him hurt or killed.

I'm really upset about this, and value all advice, thank you.

Would the war on terror have more support if catchy religion based labels were not used?

Terrorists are terrorists. Does it matter what faith they pervert to further their agenda? Let's forget the fact it really can't be won,terrorism does need to be fought.

when it comes to AGW skepticism, i think the fact of the matter remains?

using only "natural" factors, the predicted rise in temperature in the 20th centuray was .16 degrees celsius. the observed rise was .74 degrees celsius. skeptics claim that the warming may be due to some other unknown factor, but we are still waiting for them to clue us in on just what that unknown factor is. the only factor that could explain global warming is the rise in co2, a greenhouse gas. of course, we can't be sure that it is as powerful a greenhouse gas that people claim. but we know co2 levels are on the rise, and we know the temperature is increasing dramatically (faster than ever before in history). no other known factor involved in the warming has undergone such transformation -- milankovitch cycles are, well, just that: cyclical. the only way to explain the warming is that co2 has caused it.

No other politicians have been put under that kind of scrutiny. And all that was found was a personal affair.

Patriotic Dems... Do you find it annoying that the current Dem candidates and other Dem politicians are...?

so outwardly anti-military?

Be nice republicans... I was in the military as was most of my family and we know good men and women that are republican and democrat...

The problem i see is that the military democrats are not being represented by their own politicians. Dem candidates will have you believe that every American soldier is a murderous republican out for blood(or oil) when thats the farthest thing from the truth.

Why is there no Dems out there with 'a pair' that will stand up for our troops, give them the armor, money, ect... they need until our government can figure out what to do?
