It's is rumored that is VERSUS will happen. What are your thoughts. Now it doesn't mean if we attack these countries at the same time. What would happened if we did? The continuation of my "WE NEED TO WORRY" VERSUS series.

After a certain rank, it is assumed that if you are a woman officer and you are not a complete moron, you must be a lesbian.

I'm not a moron and I enjoy the penis. I also have reached the rank of real responsibility. Why does everyone start assuming I'm an extra from a Reform School Girls movie?

The shooting, which killed Nicola Calipari, the Italian government's second-ranking intelligence officer, just minutes after Calipari had secured Sgrena's release from Iraqi guerrillas, sparked a public furor in Italy.

That uproar grew worse after a Pentagon report last year cleared the U.S. soldiers involved. Italian prosecutors, after conducting their own probe, announced plans this week to charge Lozano, a member of New York's legendary Fighting 69th, with murder and attempted murder.

But Sgrena, who is still recovering from a gunshot wound that collapsed her lung, doesn't want Lozano to be made a scapegoat.

it would seem the marines are now producing undisciplined punks and thugs to try and win over the hearts and minds of the iraqis. it appears that the marines may be failing in their mission of training the finest fighting force in the world (which, if you were ever a marine, you know thats a bunch of propaganda anyway). if the stories being reported are true then those punks masquerading as marines need to be dealt with swiftly and very severely.

Marine in `Fahrenheit 9/11' Killed in Iraq
By Associated Press

DETROIT - A Marine and one-time recruiter who appeared in Michael Moore's documentary film "Fahrenheit 9/11" has died in a roadside bombing in Iraq.

Staff Sgt. Raymond J. Plouhar, 30, from Lake Orian Michigan, and who believe in the war, died Monday of wounds suffered while conducting combat operations in Iraq's volatile Anbar province, the Defense Department said Tuesday.

Staff Sgt Plouhar, is seen in the 2004 film approaching prospective recruits in a mall parking lot.

The miltary really covers up there racist people. Soldiers are afriaid to stand up because it will limit there chance of promtion and civllians are afraid to lose there jobs. It's a no win situation. All of these programs that are sponser by the goverment is a waste of tax payers dollars. Will, the great leaders ever be able to make a stand for all of the people?

we would be able to find them if they were captured, maybe we could have saved those young soldiers that were beheaded. Then it could be removed when the war was over. But I think the military should do it secretely, so our enemy would not no about it. Good or bad idea?

....for a rating in the Army (eg, Private), to one day reach the rank of general?

Whilst this is a common theme in old war stories (crusty old WW2 General who was a wee lad fighting the boers when he joined up...etc etc), I've recently been told that ratings can never actually get a promotion, presumable meaning they'd never get to lieutenant, let alone General- how true is this?

Thanks!

PS, this is regarding UK armed forces so I'm not sure how accurate a statement it is if you are in the USA or elsewhere...
