After serving over 11 years in the Army and deploying in support of the War on Terror four times, my time may have come to an end. During my last tour in Iraq I fell victim to a roadside bomb (IED) which took my left eye, left thumb, and took about half the use of my right hand. I will soon be facing my medical retirement board, and I am not sure what to do.
I know that if I choose to stay in my promotion potential will have dropped, and I probably wont be able to deploy again. My wife says that I have served enough, and it is time to start over. But at 31 years old, I am not sure that is a good move.

What does the forum think? Serious answers only please.

My husband is a soldier and says it's his job. He is in the infantry. His opinion is if you don't want to do it then why did you sign on the dotted line. Most of the guys he works with feel the same way. Canadian citizens should be supportive of our soldiers and stop using the excuse that our role is as peacekeepers. What do you think they do all their training for? To babysit??

Ok, before I start, I'm not bashing any military people or veterans, most are very brave, hard working people. They do something I don't think I ever could. And I'm not making this a forum of debating the current war. I just have a question.
People say every war is us protecting our freedom. But this doesn't make sense to me. Most of the wars/skirmishes we've been in have been about protecting other people's freedom. We might be making the world a better place and helping people, but unless we are fighting a war on our own land or against terrorists, is it protecting "OUR" freedom? I just want some thoughts. Be nice and thanks.

i went to meps today and failed the weight by 1.7% which is like 4 pounds. now i have to go back next month to re weigh select a job and swear in. how usual is that? considering that in the past 4 months i have lost 42 pounds. i would have figured that they would have let me slide and continue process and then after i come back to ship out i would reweigh. i just thought that was unlikely. also, i scored a 76 on the actual ASVAB. my line scores were the 110s to 130s. my recruiter said that it was excellent and i should be able to get any job that i want. my question is I have 50000 in student loans is there a web site that i can go to to see the job listings AND the percentage of student loan repayment? I got well over the amount for the student loan repayment. have a list of 7 jobs that i will accept, I was just wondering what the percentage of the student loans will be payed for by the army according to job. I want to have a good understanding of my options before i see the councilor

Republican Rep. Ike Skelton wrote and sent a letter Sept. 5th of 2002 asking Bush about the costs and duration of the occupation of Iraq and quoted the "Prussian military therorist Karl von Clausewutz who is very well know for the requirements in war before taking the first step, as quoted in the question, without considering the last step. Also asked in the same letter about the great philosopher of strategy , Sun Tzu, who observed, "To win victory is easy; to preserve its fruits, difficult." So did Bush think that he was smarter than these two great military thinking men or did he think it did not matter if they were correct? If the later is the case, then what did he really have in mind? Apparently he did not care how many American casualities there would be, or how much time it would take to get the job done. If the former is true then he was truly ignorant of war and/or totally dismissive of the outcome of the war and it's effect.
