I've asked a few questions on here, just to see the answers, but this is a really serious one, I'd like older folk to answer mostly, but I want everyone's answers.
Why don't we have us older, experienced guys, go in and take care of business in Aphganistan and Iraq, and Iran? We would know what to do, who to trust, just like the old days in Nam. Why do we get our youngsters killed, when weve already lived our lives?

Were they just outnumbered, outgunned, or what caused the us to lose?

Hezbollah had captured these Israeli soldiers who where INSIDE the Lebanese border.If they had not illegally compromised the borders of a sovereign nation, we would not be witnessing the atrocities being inflicted by, and upon, both sides.

Why is no one keeping them in check? They are obviously out of control.

If today's Dems were in power during Hitlers time, how fast would we have pulled out of Europe? No way Kerry and Durbin could stomach these losses.

Check out these stats for perspective. Contrary to what Murtha and others say, we aren't losing men and women at an alarming rate.
War......Deaths... Duration(months).... Deaths/month
WWI.....116,708............ 19...................... 6,142
WWII.....407,316............ 44..................... 9,257
Korean....33,651............ 37........................ 909
Vietnam..58,168............. 90........................ 646
Gulf..............148............... 1.......................... 148
Iraq............2,582............. 40........................... 65




With 134,000 troops in Iraq the annual death rate is 5.79 per 1,000
In the US general population (at home) the annual death rate is 8.25 per 1,000.
We are dying faster here than in Iraq! Granted the troops are almost all young and healthy, but this is a war.

Essentially did the European nations and the Arab Empire ever truely resolve cultural, political, social, economic AND relgious issues to form a long term peace - or was the issue ignored. If it was ignored - is it brewing again?

My daughter's boyfriend shipped off to Basic in Great Lakes on July 18, 2006. We would like to know how long it will be before he can call or write us. We are sending letters, but don't know if he is getting to read them? Can someone tell me the guidelines on phone calls and mail? Also, will they be shipped directly to Pennsicola or will they be allowed to return home for a few days?

Save this Marine
The U.S. Marine in Iraq who shot and killed an enemy combatant who was pretending to be dead but in reality was alive. If you have any feelings for this Marine who was doing his job.This is an American Hero.
He called out to his buddies that the person was faking, the person
apparently made a suspect move and the Marine shot him dead. There was another combatant in the room who identified himself as being wounded...The Marines did not shoot him. The ACLU are claiming the Marine is guilty of a war crime. This is ridiculous!

Bill O'Reilly of the Fox News Channel feels there is overwhelming support for this young Marine -

Let's prove him right- we can make a difference!
The servicemen fighting for our freedom and safety deserve our support.
If these communist ACLU don't approve of America and support our troops, why don't they just pick up their trash and leave?!
IT'S MAJORITY RULES, NOT MINORITY!!!!!!
