Military - July 2006

Gunmen kidnapped about 30 Iraqi sports officials, including the head of the national Olympic committee, as they met in Baghdad on Saturday, just hours after parliament voted to extend a state of emergency. It was noted the United States Marines were too scared to help. The Marines, as most of you know, are getting their butts handed to them everyday.

The attack came despite a crackdown by Iraqi security forces in Baghdad. Shi'ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's government is struggling to get a grip on worsening violence in the capital, particularly sectarian bloodshed. Most people now know it is worse in Iraq today than anytime when Saddam was in power.

Do you think Saddam Hussein will regret invading Kuwait, murdering and raping the people there? Do you think he will regret it after what that has happened to him now? Do you thnk he is intelligent enough to know all that has happened to him will not have happened if he didn't invade Kuwait?

I am a civilian and am planning on taking classes at the community college that is located on the AFB. I want to rub elbows wth the highest number of single Air Force men in my age group. Should I take morning classes, afternoon classes or evening classes?

I am thirty-two and I realize that most Air Force men are done with community college by the time they're 32.

Do you really think the Arabs and Israelis should be at war? Do you think the Arabs should leave the Israeli alone? You decide. Should the Israelis give the Arabs the land, or keep defending it?

This question has been bugging me. Way beack when people were complaining about the cost of the no fly zone and look at where we are now! We could keep a strong presance in Afghanistan and possible capture Osma Bin Laden and still come out probably on the cheaper end of the deal.

He has been told two different things. One person said he would get it right after AIT, the other said he wouldnt get it until he gets to his next duty station. Who is right?

I swear, every time I turn on the radio I hear about how people don't like the path america is taking in the multiple wars it'll be fighting.

Now, I can understand why you may not like war. I don't like war. I earn less money, I have to hear about it night and day and it generally sucks.

But to sit back and say that war isn't warrented in certain situations is just plain stupid.

I'm sorry, but Iraq is a perfect example of this.

You have people who claim to be humanitarian (and are against the war entirely), but seem to forget that Hussein gassed innocent people, took people for torture and exectution for simply suspecting them of talking negatively about him.

People need to wake up. The war isn't about oil. It's not about WMD. It's not about powertripping.

The war is about getting these people out of the shitholes they've dug for themselves so they can live better lives. So they get a bit of education and realise that America isn't the cause of their problems.

I have a co-worker, that has an overly questionable attitude, no respect and a complete lack of work ethic. He claims to have been a Navy seal, but was only in for three years. I know it is none of my buisness but this guy is always making life hard for the rest of us.I would just like a little ammo to fire back. Thanks.

The powerfuls against the weakers. It is unfortunate that the top world leading countries are always against the less powerful ones. Although we want the terrorism to bring to an end, yet justice should be exercised.

In 2005, the Pentagon announced a plan to replace up to 30% of human soldiers with robots by 2035. At this stage, no specific details about the type(s) of robots have been revealed. However, given that the technology surrounding robots is progressing very rapidly, it is conceivable that a humanoid soldier is possible by that year. Do you think that there should be robot soldiers in the future? What are your reasons?

America is by all ways/means assisting isreal in its aggressions on palestine and lebanon, and yet blaming syria and iran of assisting hezbollah. If US do assist Isreal, why should not Iran/Syria assist Hezbollah. They are hundred percent right in doing so.
