Military - June 2006

How is this possible? I want to protect the people I love and care for. I would easily put my life on the line to save someone else. I don't fear death. Yet I still can't resolve this issue. How can I protect the ones I love, but killing the brothers, fathers, and husbands who are doing the exact same thing. People try to tell me that we (The United States of America) only fight against "bad" people. I disagree with this mainly because, in our world, there is no "good" or "bad" person. We idenify people with those traits, on account of their opinions and beliefs. So in reality, we aren't fighting evil, we are fighting the people who's opinions we don't agree with. Going back to the era of the Crusades, thousands of people we massacred because of they were the "right" religon. Should a person be a guardian by killing others? I find it mildly ironic how I am only fifteen, and I already slave over these topics. Final Question: Should I be a soldier?

How can people say "I blame the person that sent the soldiers there for their deaths?" That is as good as saying "It's not the terrorists fault that is just what they do" The famous line that one nation divided against each other cannot stand rings loudly in my mind when I think of this statement. Do you all think that the terrorist don't know how weak out country really is? It shouldn't matter if you believe in the war but stop backing the terrorists by denying that they are truly at fault for their murders. Our American soldiers are punished by death at times for murdering Iraqi's inhumanely and America cheers. Our soldiers are killed and instead of wishing death upon those who killed us they accuse those who didn’t. Go ahead. Tell me what your thinking.

American government never denied that al-queda was formed with help of America to fight with the USSR in Auganistan. The same way Chechen and Albanian terrorists were sapported against Russia and Serbia.

How long can a stop loss stop movement stay in effect on a unit? Especially when they don't have orders to deploy, or even a location? They are on the list for rotation to Iraq, but they dont have orders yet, and its been that way since day 1.

My husbands unit has been stop lossed since March 1. They keep saying, "oh, we'll leave next month" but they never do. Now they're saying MAYBE in October. How long can they keep us stop lossed? We were supposed to get out in April.

These soldiers are facing murder charges... Conduct and ethnics are very different when you are fighting to stay alive, and I believe that these men and women are doing what they have to do to survive.. What are your opinions? Remember they are fighting so that we have the freedom that we sometimes take for granted, wrong or right it is what it is.

I hear the AF don't get respect, but why?? they have special operations too, and i would like to be an Aerial Gunner, they get deployed to iraq don't they? I think all branches should get the same respect, and my friend is in the AF and he is in iraq right now, he is a mechanic. He says all of them treat eachother cool, and they ain't talking bad about any branch. All branches are serving the country and they should get the same good respect. They are all from the military and if u dare to talk trash about any of them like the airforce being so light, then get your @ss up and join. If i join the AF it will be because of my family, since they say it's better for the family. But i will still probably end up in the Army.

On June 22, 1945, the World War II battle for Okinawa officially ended; 12,520 Americans and 110,000 Japanese were killed in the nearly three-month campaign.

And I bet not one Marine or any other soldier was put on trial based solely on the accusations of our enemy.

Prominent military historians, such as T. Harry Williams, consider Pres. Lincoln to be a military genius. He did have some ability. However, his picks to head the U.S. Army and the Army of the Potomac were largely poor. As far as heading the U.S. Army McClellan would not fight and was terrible, and Gen. Henry Halleck turned himself into a clerk, instead of an overall commander. Ultimately, Gen. Grant was an outstanding choice to head the U.S. Army, but he was selected relatively late. Were not more competent possible generals available, and who might have they been?

As far as heading the Army of the Potomac, McClellan, Burnside, Hooker, and Meade varied from terrible to disappointing. Again were there not other possible generals available? Who might have been considered? I would be grateful for any listing of candidates. I also note that no one can actually know how someone will perform in advance, but instead of sticking with McClellan, Reynolds and Sedwick were around.

Before he went to Iraq last time, it seemed like all we did was a long goodbye. Not much fun, and I could tell he didn't want to think about it. So he gets to come home, and I'm trying to plan worthwhile things that he will enjoy and that won't seem like this is a goodbye trip. Any ideas?
