I'm considering military service, just because I'm not happy with my job or my life. I'm single, stable, but bored and kinda sick of my friends. I feel like I was meant for something more.

People tell me 28 is too old to join the Corps and that I won't be able to keep up with the younger guys. Is the Army really that much easier?

Thanks in advance.

I hope that the middle east finds peace and everything else but hell will raise before I go to any war. Why is this world so damn unpeaceful, and so ungreatful that we have a chance to live.

Haditha report could implicate Marines By ROBERT BURNS, AP Military Writer.


WASHINGTON - Evidence collected on the deaths of 24 innocent Iraqis in Haditha supports accusations that U.S. Proud Marines deliberately shot the civilians, including unarmed women and children for fun, a Pentagon official said Wednesday.

Agents of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service have completed their initial work on the incident last November, but may be asked to probe further as Marine Corps and Navy prosecutors review the evidence and determine whether to recommend criminal charges. The Marines stated it was the American way to do things.

The decision on whether to press criminal charges ultimately will be made by the commander of the accused Marines' parent unit, the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force at Camp Pendleton, Calif. That currently is Lt. Gen. John Sattler, but he is scheduled to move to a Pentagon assignment soon. However, it is believed Bush will pardon the Marines.

I am unable to track down my ex-husband's location. Last update is that he was in Irak (for over a year now) and will continue in Irak for another six months to one year. Does this sound about right or is his wife making it up?

Canada is rich in resources (it also sells more Oil to the U.S. than any other country), already its biggest trading partner (Ontario alone is doing more than Japan) and has no military to stop the U.S.. It's the second biggest country on earth yet only has 1/10 of the U.S. population.
Who would and especially who could stop the U.S. ?
In the longterm......

The brave Marine was shot while he was on patrol. He got hit in the chest and he went down but managed to stand again. He looked down at the blood pouring out of his chest and he said to his Marine brothers: "I'm proud to be dying for the Iraqi Government that Bush allowed to be formed.....I'm proud to be bleeding red due the the USA flag having red in it. And to my best friend and one of the best Marines anywhere I give you my fine girlfriend. Her number is in my pocket so when I die in the next few minutes get it and call her and in memory of my death please go and see her and tell her I pass my love on to her through you. She likes it hard and to be tied up so have fun. And now it is getting dark and it's time to get ready to die and be buried so I will say Fare well". With that the wounded Marine stood up straight and gave a salute and then his eyes rolled back in his head and he fell dead. The Marine is being buried today in Walled Lake Michigan. His friend bought some rope......

Then get this book! I found this really wonderfull book that I think EVERY AMERICAN should buy. It is called DEAR SOLDIER: I pray for you every night before I go to bed. by Barbara W Baldwin. It has letters from children to soldiers. It is just amazing to see what the children come up with!!! Plus a portion of the sales go to the Coalition to Salute American Hero's. THIS BOOK IS GREAT!!!

If someone joins the military for only 4-6 years (as opposed to serving 20 years and retiring), will they still receive full health and dental insurance for the rest of their life?

Someone told me this was true, but I thought you had to retire after 20 years to keep those bennies. Anyone know?

What is the difference between Hizbollah and Hezbollah in terms of religious affiliations, geographic focus and objectives? I thought I understood the distinction, but they seem to be used interchangably in articles on the conflict in Lebanon. I thought the two groups were distinct, but I am beginnig to wonder if it is just two different spellings for the same organization. This is a serious question. I'm not looking for a bunch of anti-Muslim ranting. Thanks.

I was just informed this morning that my fiance will be deploying to Iraq on Sunday, Aug 6th. He's stationed at Schofield in hawaii, and I'm in PA. The last we saw each other was June, and his tour is 13 months. I just wanted to know if anyone out there could help me....wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, husbands....who have gone through this. Right now I'm just numb and really don't know what to think. We knew this was coming, but now that it's here, it's so much harder to accept. I just need some sort of advice as to what I could do to help ease this pain I'm feeling.

He hasnt been in the military before, so how long would he be gone for boot camp and all that? What is the pay, does he get paid for going? I need to know it all. I am a stay at home mom that doesnt work, so we would need to earn money somehow.

Any Americans settle an argument?
I'm from London, and have been having a debate regarding the above.
I say that during the Civil War, Lincoln wanted a place to bury the Northern dead and it was decided to use General Lee's old home, which is in fact Arlington. That it would be Ironic that "Yankees" were buried in a Confederate General's back yard.
How true is this?

It would save about 250 Billion. With said Billions one could easily fund medicare for the whole nation AND have enough left over to
a) start paying off the national debt
b) give aid to third world countries. Not in the form of direct money, but in the form of helping them to become self-sufficient.

The U.S. military still would be the mightiest on earth and perhaps would have less reason to flex its muscle constantly (if you spend 500 Billion on the military you better use it, otherwise how the hell do you justify it ?)

Israeli officials
1-first few days "We are winning"
2-few days later "We are going to win"
3-and later "we can win"
4-yesterday "we must win"

Israel failed to achieve ONE SINGLE goal
1-first few days "free the 2 soldiers"
2-few days later "destroy Hezbollah"
3-and later "destroy the missile attack capabilities"
4-yesterday "minimize missile attack capabilities"

Hezbollah lanuched today over 200 (record) missiles -some say around 300!!

Israel are still fighting and getting hard hits on the border villages (less than 2km deep)!

So into the 4th week they managed to kill children, destroy bridges, flatten vilages!!!

Oh oh...they also managed to capture Hassan Nasrallah last night and his 14 year old son. Of course its just a 60year old farmer. FYI they released the son only!!

So are they loosing?or is this just a strategy?If so what is this strategy? I mean ISrael is supposed to have one of the strongest armies in the world!!

i want to get some opinions on that article. just a personal opinion but my god do we stop to think that some of these people just may go home with this new found training and plan better attacks against us? no i'm not saying everyone but i wonder how lax our screening process is. even if it's considered air tight, you can't predict what people will do.

All day, every day, all I see is whining from these crybabies from other countries claiming that the U.S. is at fault for all the b.s. in this world. Gimme a break. The U.S. is one of, if not the youngest nation on earth, and you're gonna tell me that in the course of human history there was no suffering or grand scale wars? I bet if you actually read some world history books there is plenty of evidence to support the fact that the world was a $hit-hole long before America came into being. I'm all for the murder ing of people in other countries as well as here in the U.S. We'll call it population control and the less of you I have to deal with the better.
