Like most vetrans who saw much action he didn't say much. Dad, A Lt. Col. was a member of Third Army,8th corps, AntiAircraft, his insignas were the circled A and crossed motars. I suspect the honours could be for: being part of the organization leading up to the landing at Normandy, actions at Normandy. Liberating Oldorf Nord, Dad was there for 4-6 weeks including Ike's tour.He establised and mantained the copper communication lines into and out of Bastogne. However I don't know anything for certian, like I said Dad didn't talk about his medals. One of his immidiate commanders was Col. Wolf. After Normandy Dad's unit(8th corps) basically followed the Rine intil the Buldge when it was destroyed as a unit.(The 8th's listed on the memorial on the hill over looking the battlefield, the family visited it in 72'). At the end of the war he was stationed very near "Stalin's" troops.

I have sent for his records, however the pentagon tells me they were lost in a fire. Any ideas out there?

It is many years since we invaded Afghanistan in chase of Al Queda. It was a successful operation and thanks to the Russians for not giving guided missiles to the Taliban in tit for tat for what we did when they tried to do he same. But we destroyed the Al Queda/Taliban camps, killed a good number of them, installed a reasonable democracy and things seemed to be working out. We paid with Ametican lives and $billions as usual.

But it now seems the Taliban are regrouping and fighting us face to face, not in remote areas but a few miles from Kabul the capital. Are we not killing more of our soldiers for nothing? We have achieved what we went in for. Perhaps it is time we were getting out and concentrating on supporting the Government with air strikes and money and not with foot soldiers. We should not be engaging in a war of attrition with Moslem fanatics, who are trying to go to paradise where they will be rewarded with 75 virgins. But I only have one vote. What do you think?

Over 300 innocent men women and children were killed in Vietnam in March 1968. Those troops walked. ( Anyone know about the My Lai Massacre?) So why should our troops in the Iraqi war be sent to prison?

The US invaded Iraq because of the chance of WMDs and to remove an opressing dictator. North Korea has WMDs, an opressing dictator, and has threatened nuclear war on the US if the US attacks them. Following the current US administration 'logic' will the US invade North Korea?

Federal prosecutors charged a veteran of the Iraq war with murder and rape Monday in connection with the killing of an Iraqi woman and 4 members of her family.

Steven D. Green, a 21-year-old former private first class who was discharged from the Army, appeared in a federal magistrate's courtroom in Charlotte Monday.

The charges grew out of a military investigation involving up to five soldiers in the March rape and killing of the woman in Mahmoudiya and three of her relatives.

( Note:...My question is:.....He is no longer in the military so how can they arrest him for something that happened 10,000 miles away and in a war zone. the Military should not be able to touch him. He no longer comes under the U.C.M.J.)

Why is it that the American government invaded Iraq, who they THOUGHT had weapons of mass destruction, but when North Korea openly acknowledges that they have them, and are testing long-range missiles that can possibly hit the US, we stand idle?

Also, the US and UN are so preoccupied with Iran's secret nuclear ambitions even though North Korea is threatening a pre-emptive nuclear strike.

If we were to strike North Korea, they promised an "annihilating strike and a nuclear war". Even though the US has a huge stockpile of nuclear weapons in its arsenol, will we be afraid to use them for fear of international relations? Or will the US use them in what could be the end of a nation (wont be the US).
