Military - July 2006

Dont any other fellow americans think this is such a bad image from a military that our children look up to, and shouldnt we demand more from them, its not like any of them were forced to go they all signed up and are getting paid, so shouldnt they have to live by standards. And yes I know there are tons of rapests and murderers that are not military but my son doesnt think the bad guys on americas most wanted are heros.

Or at least give me an order. I need to break out of this psychological paralysis.

In movies, they seem to only stick into the skin, and the size of the puncture wound seems to be as much as the size of the bullet. Now I'm not a physics expert or anything, but I do think that a small piece of metal travelling faster than the fastest hands on earth can actually make a pretty big mess. Anyone know from first-hand experience or can actually tell me the truth?

Why is Sadam Hussiens AIDES ( underlings ) being charged, If they where OBEYING ORDERS.
Look at ENGLAND an OFFICER in the AIR FORCE refuses to go because he believes the war is ILLEGAL
What do they do put him in jail for DISOBEYING an order
Good job the law stopped them from SHOOTING him.
In Iraq you could be shot for disobeying an order
So if they where obeying orders how can you prosecute them for war CRIMES

So what the English are saying is
If you disobey an order refuse to go and fight,
Possibly kill others in the war.
YOU WILL BE COURT MARTIALED
So obey ORDERS thats ok no
charges or sentence
you are a GOOD SOLDIER
you OBEY ORDERS.
nothing will happen to you
Sadam Hussein gives orders they are OBEYED
they are BAD SOLDIERS
Now they face the DEATH PENALTY for OBEYING ORDERS

My SON is in the BRITISH ARMY
If he felt it was an illegal and imoral war
and did not want to go then believe he should have the right to say so
This war is unjust and ilegal

Several soldiers have been accused of rape/murder of a young girl and her family. If found guilty, do you believe the local juresdiction of Iraq should be the one who punishes or do you think that the Uniform Code of Military Justice applies? (i.e., punished under military law in the states)

What Does Victory Look Like?

How much longer are we going to put up with this? Does anyone seriously think there is a peaceful and amicable solution here, other than we leave and Iraq plunges into violent civil war? Well Cons?

No, that's OK, no answer required. Few of you in my experience are capable of thoughtful, rational explanation. Vietnam was over thirty years ago, long enough where the majority of people have forgotten the lessons learned there, or weren't even yet born. A new generation of ignorant, illiterate people rushes to war. Thus has it ever been.

What a shame and a waste. It will tear America apart before it's all over.
Aren't you people proud. The blood is on your hands. Shame on the Republicans who are running this country.

If so I hope they can teach the most powerful nation in the world how to fight. The Marines and Army look like Abbot and Costello when up against the Insurgents. I mean, Look at the Insurgents. Basic weapons, No Jet fighters, No tanks, and yet they are making the Marines holler "Uncle" everyday. Amazing!! The Marines are eating "Crow" morning noon and night as the Marines and Army men get their rear ends handed to them everyday. The Rag Tag insurgents are really hard fighters. The Marines/Army men should take notice.

the story of that woman and her family in iraq??? i'm not saying it didn't happen. clearly something did happen. but i just don't buy what the news is feeding us about what exactly happened. and now, now, they've killed 3 of our soldiers in revenge!!! what are they doing about that. my heart goes out to that family, but i'm just afraid that our "government" isn't going to investigate this very fairly. seems to me they want to "kiss ***" to keep the so called "peace". (during war, now there's an oxymoron)

Is it possible to volunteer to go to Iraq? I have been contemplating about it lately as I approach enlisting into the Armed Services. Also, how many times can you be deployed to Iraq under a four year enlistment? I have been speaking to some people about Ft. Hood's program it is trying to implement. Basically it's first year is to fill the spots, get everything ready, etc. Second year is training, making sure the units can work as a team, etc. Third year is deployment. Once back from deployment the cycle restarts. Any comments/opinions/questions?

Thank You

UNITED NATIONS - Supporters of a Security Council resolution that would impose sanctions on North Korea agreed to delay a vote in the hope that China can pressure Pyongyang to return to talks on nuclear disarmament and halt missile tests, U.S. officials said Monday. Why is President Bush not talking tough now? Bush is becoming weak SO N. Korea is not worried about weak Bush.

The five veto-wielding nations on the U.N. Security Council are divided over sanctions. The U.S., Britain and France support the resolution proposed by Japan after North Korea test-fired seven missiles on July 5 — one apparently a long-range type that could potentially reach the United States.

China and Russia oppose sanctions and have been pressing for a weaker presidential statement, which is not legally binding, instead of a resolution.

China introduced a draft presidential statement on Monday.

In Vietnam we killed more of the enemy that they killed of us. And guess what? We lost big time. Now tell me again how we are killing more of the enemy than they are killing of us. Any idea when we will lose Iraq?

I'm a retired US Marine that is tired of the whining,complaining attitude of most American Kid's. The values we fought for seem to be forgotten. If we had the draft it would take pressure off of the volunteer's and put it on the upper class to change things. If the politicians kid's had to put on the uniform it may change things. Also if we had the draft we would be more prepared for the battle's we are going to have to fight! ie: Korea, China, etc.Our kid's need to learn some respect.
