Husband is prior military (army) and he supports me in whatever I decide to do. Going to Iraq is intimidating but not unbearable personally but I have to think of my family,as well. I think it would be so awesome to serve for a few years, I am up for the challenge. I know that anything is possible but I guess I am just wondering the likelihood that I would get deployed to war. Recruiters are fantastic but, realisitically, they tell you what you want to hear to get you to sign on the dotted line. I want to make a well-informed decision and hear opinions from those that have no quotas to fill...

Why are there so many dumb people who don't know history think World War 3 is coming? Sure there are regional conflicts but they aren't going to go anywhere. Iran can only fight in Iraq or Afganistan where the Americans are. North Korea can only go south into South Korea where the South Korean's have a modern military and with American help can crush the North who wouldn't have an million chinese troops helping. Israeli actions are just localized against terrorists, the Arab countries know better than to fight Israel after the 6 day war in 1967 and the one in 1973.

So people are worried about regional conflicts that will go no where.

The US and its cohorts rush to stamp out any possibility of any country gaining the means to war. Japan considers a pre-emptive strike on North Korea just because it's about to develop ICBM technology. Sure, these developments make the rest of us uneasy but is this action right?

It used to be we declared war when an act of war was perpetrated against us. Why now is it ok to invade or declare war when someone just gains the means? Isn't that sort of like laying an assault charge on someone for buying a weapon?

I've been looking around to see what would be the best calling card to send him, or the best means of phone communication with him. We both have T-Mobile, but it seems like an arm and a leg for him to use his cell phone over there. Any ideas? I'd appreciate it greatly. It's my first deployment, so it's been SO difficult... and it's only been two days!!!

Angelina Jolie is going to star in it.

Personally, not interested. The guy chose to go into a war zone. If he wanted to be in the war, he should have joined the military at least then he would have been somewhat more protected. His wife tried to get some of the 9/11 funds because she said he was a victim. Sorry, I'm not giving her any of my money.

More than half of the Noble people of America is against the War in Iraq. That is a fact. Now P. Bush has supported the Conservative Candidate in Mexico Calderon as President of Mexico. Please no not do that, México may become to be a New Iraq. Please Mr. President

Two soldiers were kidnapped and Israel marches into Libanon. Israelis kill a 10 member family besides others and continue bombing Beirut and Gaza.

In the meantime everyone is busy that Northkorea and Iran might do another missile test. We don't want war, but yesterday might have been the day that another one was started.

And it wasn't commited by some "bandit country" but it was us who did it. Why does nobody of the "western world" stands up and tells Israel that there is something going the really bad way.

NORMANDY , FRANCE (June 6, 1944) Three hundred French civilians were killed and thousands more were wounded today in the first hours of America 's invasion of continental Europe . Casualties were heaviest among women and children. Most of the French casualties were the result of artillery fire from American ships attempting to knock out German fortifications prior to the landing of hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops. Reports from a makeshift hospital in the French town of St. Mere Eglise said the carnage was far worse than the French had anti cipated, and that reaction against the American invasion was running high. "We are dying for no reason, "said a Frenchman speaking on condition of anonymity. "Americans can't even shoot straight. I never thought I'd say this, but life was better under Adolph Hitler."

The invasion also caused severe environmental damage. American troops, tanks, trucks and machinery destroyed miles of pristine shoreline and thousands of acres of ecologically sensitive wetlands. It was believed that the habitat of the spineless French crab was completely wiped out, thus threatening the species with extinction. A representative of Greenpeace said his organization, which had tried to stall the invasion for over a year, was appalled at the destruction, but not sur prised. "This is just another example of how the military destroys the environment without a second thought," said Christine Moanmore. "And it's all about corporate greed."

Contacted at his Manhattan condo, a member of the French government-in-exile who abandoned Paris when Hitler invaded, said the invasion was based solely on American ! financial interests. "Everyone knows that President Roosevelt has ties to 'big beer'," said Pierre LeWimp. "Once the German beer industry is conquered, Roosevelt 's beer cronies will control the world market and make a fortune."

Administration supporters said America 's aggressive actions were based in part on the assertions of controversial scientist Albert Einstein, who sent a letter to Roosevelt speculating that the Germans were developing a secret weapon -- a so-called "atomic bomb". Such a weapon could produce casualties on a scale never seen before, and cause environmental damage that could last for thousands of years. Hitler has denied having such a weapon and international inspectors were unable to locate such weapons even after spending two long weekends in Germany . Shortly after the invasion began, reports surfaced that German prisoners had been abused by American soldiers. Mistreatment of Jews by Germans at their so-called "concentration camps" has been rumored, but so far this remains unproven.

Several thousand Americans died during the first hours of the invasion, and French officials are concerned that the uncollected corpses will pose a public-health risk. "The Americans should have planned for this in advance," they said. "It's their mess, and we don't intend to help clean it up."

"Why, it appears that we appointed all of our worst generals to command the armies and we appointed all of our best generals to edit the newspapers. I mean, I found by reading a newspaper that these editor generals saw all of the defects plainly from the start but didn't tell me until it was too late. I'm willing to yield my place to these best generals and I'll do my best for the cause by editing a newspaper."
