I know they do not have a voice whilst in service.. but nearly every ex-service person speaks against Bush....

What are the true feelings of our brave men and women?

Some people say government is corrupt, but I believe the main problem is money and people with it, and who want more of it. They do not care about their country, it's military, or it's citizens, all they care about is getting more money and keeping it, and giving to their family to keep the cycle of corruption going. So, does it really matter where you live, as long as people with money lack a social conscience then corruption and oppression will continue to happen. Do you believe that rich people care about there country as much as they would care about another rich person from another country who could help them get more money?

The troops are damn tired of Iraq. They have been tired of it for a long time now.

I'd be too if I have to spend most of my time in a hot, dusty, place where every day could be my last.

==============================
U.S. Troops in Iraq: 72% Say End War in 2006

Le Moyne College/Zogby Poll shows just one in five troops want to heed Bush call to stay “as long as they are needed”
While 58% say mission is clear, 42% say U.S. role is hazy
Plurality believes Iraqi insurgents are mostly homegrown
Almost 90% think war is retaliation for Saddam’s role in 9/11, most don’t blame Iraqi public for insurgent attacks
Majority of troops oppose use of harsh prisoner interrogation
Plurality of troops pleased with their armor and equipment

Paul leads in donations from military voters, with Obama next

WASHINGTON — Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, the congressman from the Houston area who opposes the Iraq war, has gotten more contributions than any other White House contender from donors identified as affiliated with the military.

According to a Houston Chronicle analysis of campaign records from January through September, Paul received $63,440 in donations from current military employees and several retired military personnel.

Democrat Barack Obama, another war critic, was second in military giving. The Illinois senator got $53,968 during the nine months.

He was followed by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz, a decorated Navy pilot and former Vietnam prisoner of war, who received $48,208 in military-related giving. McCain has been one of the most vigorous defenders of President Bush's decision this year to increase U.S. troops in Iraq.

Include written tests, training courses, training periods/schedule, location of training and anything else you know about the AH-64D Apache Longbow.

I'd prefer that you leave a link from which your information came from, or information from an actual active or retired pilot or gunner.

I live on Antarctica and I hate the fact that countries are trying to control us!

Russia, Germany, the UK (big one!), and the US and many others are staking territories and acting like the citizens of Antarctica are nothing.

I love Antarctica. It's beautiful, peaceful, and serene. It is cold, but not that bad.

I find that these foreign scientists who work here are causing the global warming they talk about, more than they are solving it. Probing around snow fields, taking "samples", bothering with the wildlife etc.

I've also found littler from foreign countries. First it was gum wrappers. Not there's tires, plastic bags, styrofoam cups, etc. I know it's the work of foreigners because real Antarcticans clean up after themselves.

I've also found evidence of explosives causing glaciers to break into iceburgs. Works of foreign espionage. Foreign scientists blundering with secrets!

I want to start Antartic's own govt., but I don't know how to start. What do I do?

They're trying to downplay climate change again by not allowing you to see the CDC reports on the spread and increased risk of disease. They edited the pages down from 14 to 4. The CDC wants you to know that flooding, warming and standing water brings the risk of disease. Why doesn't Bush want you to know?

I see these ricans driving around with the pr flag and stickers. If pr is so great maybe you should live there and speak spanish there. I think there may actually be more puerto ricans here in Florida than in puerto rico. Hey if you move back to pr you can live with no fed tax and you can collect all the government money you want.

What can the Senate do about White House manipulation of scientific papers written for informational purposes to ourleaders? Can it demand the original papers from the scientists themselves and not be stuck with the political rewrites?

I was given 2 definitions:

1. A Chinese policy based on a production contract in which a peasant household is obliged to produce a specific amount of grain or cotton to be sold to the state at a regulated price.

2. A Chinese policy allowing people to decide what to grow and run their own farms. It gives families control of their own farms, rather than being told by the government.
