For those of you who drive around with those "cute" little stickers that say "I support the troops", who do you really support besides those who make and sell your stickers?

i just wanna know what you can and cant bring to basic training.

if you have asthma can you bring an inhaler?
can you bring vitamins?
what should you pack with you?
how many pairs of clothes should you bring?
should you bring all play clothes to get dirty in?
do they have you excersing and running before you take the prt running and situp test?
what are the minimum qualification to pass the PRT?
and is the run for 2 miles or a 1.5 miles? and how many minutes do you have to run it?

as you can see my recruiter sucks, im willing to live and experience that tough basic training life but my recruiter is so sneaky and dirty that he wants to sugar coat everything and not tell me the truth. but i will feel alot better knowing something is hard even though its the truth rather than lying to me saying that its a breeze so can somebody break it down to me, truthfully

Corps can recall Marines to active duty By LOLITA C. BALDOR, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Marine Corps said Tuesday it has been authorized to recall thousands of Marines to active duty, primarily because of a shortage of volunteers for duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Up to 2,500 Marines will be brought back at any one time, but there is no cap on the total number of Marines who may be forced back into service in the coming years as the military battles the war on terror. The call-ups will begin in the next several months.

This is the first time the Marines have had to use the involuntary recall since the early days of the Iraq combat. The Army has ordered back about 14,000 soldiers since the start of the war.

Marine Col. Guy A. Stratton, states they can't get enough people to join the military. The war is not popular and it is hurting us Stratton says. If we can't get people to join then we will be in big trouble.

I just wonder what people think as negotiations are going nowhere and Iran is making more threats against Israel while slowly developing a nuclear weapon. Can we afford to attack Iran without putting Israel and our troops in Iran in harms way? Would most people, American and foreign support this? How do you feel?
