I was just wondering if anyone has ever been a doctor in any of the branches of military. Did you like it? What are its pro's and cons? I have read the Student Doctor Forums online, and it seems like the general consensus is that military medicine sucks. However, I'm not really sure if this is just a bunch of disgruntled army doctors ranting in one place online, and if the happy military doctors don't even know about the website. If anyone has any info, please tell me. Thanks!

How can people say war doesn't solve anything and when did it become fashionable to be an Anti-War Protester?

Okay, an easy two points.

A simple yes or no will do...,

or an indication of how you feel using a continuum from 1 (they have no reason to bomb Lebanon) to 10 (Lebanon has been asking for it)...,

or you can expand your reply as much as you'ld like.

I'm interested in receiving as many replies as possible, to turn this into a sort of poll - not an accurate one of course, but perhaps as valid as the type of thing we see on the nightly entertainment shows sometimes known as "the news." I'll tally them when the question is resolved and post a short summary as part of my reply.

For whatever its worth, my minimum goal is to get over 100 replies. Ideally, it would be over 1000 but I have scant hopes for that....

Thanks all for contributing your two cents for two points...

i have read that in order to be called a rocket in the military it doesn't have a guidance system. if that is the case, how is hezbollah able to hit haifa from over 30 miles? or are they using missles which have a guidance system? in addition what is hezbollah using as lauch pad as i assume their rocket batteries are unlikely to be truck mounted as katyusha rockets were when they were developed by the russians.

WASHINGTON A Washington-area gang behind a string of bank robberies reportedly used AK-47 assault rifles that a former US soldier had smuggled/Stolen from Iraq, investigators said.


The string of hold-ups in 2004 was notable for the overwhelming firepower used by the gangsters, eight of whom were later questioned, including two who became government witnesses, the Post reported Sunday.

Seldom is such firepower assembled in the United States, where guns are widely available, but where fully automatic models, which fire continuously as long as the trigger is pulled, are highly regulated.

The gang robbed six banks, and one officer, Kate Collins, chased their getaway car, armed with just a 9-mm pistol.

When her vehicle was shot it rocked the whole car and she new she was out gunned. As the gangs sped away they said "Thanks to the American Soldier!! It's the American way"!! Later the soldiers stated the USA Government allowed them to steal the guns. American way..They said.

Look around your world today. It can easily be seen that more than 95% of our world's contemporary combat-related problems come from Muslims, mosques, and Imams while fewer than 5% come from churches, synagogues, and Buddhist temples. I believe the reason why this is the case is because Islam is hardly a religion. Quite basically, Islam is an authoritarian constituency that uses religion to:
1) Control the actions of large groups of people by claiming God wants them to perform certain actions
and 2) Absolve itself from criticism by using the claim that the group is acting according to the will of God.

The above statement is my personal opinion. You may disagree. But whether you agree or not, the question can still be answered objectively.

Once again: At what point does the manifestation of a religion or religious conviction become a war crime?

I'm a military re-enactor and I've been looking for a good guide to gear and uniforms for some time.

I know that there are certain online retailers that sell alot of gear, but I'm trying to see what I should buy to be accurate to a modern period.

If you have past IDF experience or just someone who can share some knowledge, I would be very thankful.
