Military - June 2006

The guy I've been dating has a tattoo on the back of his neck and he told me that his recruiter told him he had to get it removed before he could go in; I think he's just making excuses and has changed his mind on leaving so soon. He also claims that they are going to give him a $40,000 sign on, but he only gets part of it now. I think he over exaggerates, a lot. In addition, if you failed your third drug-testing can you still try again later when you clean up, or is that it and they won't take you. Last, he also claims to be colorblind in the way that he has a hard time distinguishing light colors like anything light is white and anything dark is black, i.e. my hair is dark red and to him it's black, and brown eyes no matter how light look solid black, and I was under the impression that if you were colorblind they can't accept you. Sorry so many questions, but this is really important I know what he's lying about.

This is coming from an american. I know that you guys aren't fond of whats going down over in Iraq with our country, but please dont hate our country as a whole. Theres so many great places and people over here in usa. Just spend a day in New York city or San Francisco two of our most tolerant and diverse cities. i just want you to know that our country doesn't approve of a lot of things going on over in Iraq, most of the left wing and even some of the right wing. I believe war just shouldn't be the answer, and i know that is how a lot of you feel so if you hate our country or think that we are all "morons" I beg you to not judge our entire country of over millions by just a few actions that the majority of us don't agree with.

This is not intended to get any anti-war activists going on a rampage. What I am going to relate is a story about a humanbeing that just happens to be a soldier. I just want some opinions. I am currently in the Mid-East my wife works at a Hospital in Texas. I young soldier on Terminal Leave (that is leave time up to his discharge from service) visiting a friend in Texas was rushed to the hospital with a broken arm, the ER orthopedic doctor refused to see or even set this soldiers arm, because the government insurance is not excepted. This soldier has two combat tours in Iraq. These doctors have none. It took my family doctor to call these doctors to the carpet as to what their duties are as doctors. People need to realize these young men and women are in a hostile invironment, the invironment is hostile even with out bombs and bullets. They don't want to be there (but they are) and when they do get to come home they don't need to be treated like second class citizens.

Staff Sgt. Donald White, patrol leader, Battery B, 3rd Battalion, 29th Field Artillery, 3rd Heavy BCT, 4th Infantry Division, Task Force Band of Brothers, and his team came across a box on the side of the road. Initially, White thought it was an IED until he heard crying coming from the box. He made sure there were no wires protruding from the box to ensure it wasn’t booby-trapped. Then he picked it up.“I snatched the box off the ground and ran as fast as I could and kept on running – thankfully, nothing blew up,” White said. “The skin was literally hanging off the baby and we could see he was extremely dehydrated and malnourished. “He didn’t cry at all in the vehicle but his eyes rolled in the back of his head and I thought, ‘oh my goodness he is starting to die on me.’”
The baby was reunited with his mother June 19. The mother told Iraqi Police she left the child in her daughter’s care. The daughter was carrying the baby along the road when she was chased by wild dogs. 27 June 06.

I cannot imagine the bravery it takes to enter a foreign country and face the situations these brave men and women do. Sorry- not really a question- but more of a thought.

I think that Israel should pound them. The Palestinians have elected a government that follows an official policy of terror. This incident is intolerable - time to take action.

Iraq - Explosives experts found the bodies of two missing American soldiers tied together with a bomb between one victim's legs after searchers were led to the remains by physical evidence and tips from Iraqis, the military said Tuesday.

But Maj. Gen. James D. Thurman, commander of the 4th Infantry Division, said it was too early in the investigation to comment on whether the soldiers died during an insurgent attack on a U.S. Army checkpoint, or were abducted and killed later. The Insurgents have become more bold and brave as the war drags on. The Insurgents are very smart.

When Ronald Reagan left office, it seems our sense of patriotism went with him. Our wonderful soldiers don't want to be killed anymore than the next person but they are out there serving our country. So why I ask, can't we just support them? Send them an ecard, tell one you see thanks.

Americans wanted to crash Hussein, so they did. That's OK. But telling the truth their were terrorist in Iraq under him (this fact was proved by Pentagon by the way) now US Army almost lost control of this. They now couldn't defend even diplomats in the center of Bahdad not to tell about the other part of country. Iraq is being controled by group of bandits and terrorists. Hundreds of peole die every day. World hate USA for this unjustice war. So I can see no good in future. Do you? Why?
