Military - August 2006

Not of the military as a whole, or the general organization of government, but what is your opinion of the people serving in the military and why?

I ask because I am a member of the Navy, and wherever I go I get a different set of opinions, from utmost respect to raging open disgust, and I'm just curious about why different people feel the way they do.
Thanks!

in Iraq. How do you feel about terrorist propoganda videos on the internet showcasing American Soldier deaths ? Do you feel the Federal Government should be more involved with this matter of terrorist propoganda shown so freely over the internet ?

My brother wants to be a Damage Controlman(DC). Is there a 3 year enlistment?

And will this rate help for a career as a welder? I know they do more than welding, that is why i ask if it will even help for a career as a welder.

Aside from the fact that Bush has gotten us into this mess, how are we going to fair? It seems to me that we are between a rock and a hard place. I don't forsee peaceful resolution.

was it to disarm Iraq? They were already more or less disarmed after over 10 years of sanctions.
was it to topple Saddam? Why should that be any of US buisness, and they could have done so covertly, they had many chances like when his sons in law and his daughters defected?
was it to find WMDs? ha ha ha
Was it to free Iraqis? again ha ha ha from Abu Gharib under Saddam to Abu Gharib under US military, from rape by his regime to rape by the US military, from hunger to more hunger.
what was it then, it is important for the our troops and our people to have a clear cut mission where we all can stand behind it.

I got some stupid e-mail from this asshole who got pissed off about my question about not being able to drink water on delayed flights ahd while waiting in line for a plane due to new TSA regs. He called me some names I can't repeat here, and he wanted to know what I've done for my country? And that he'll show me what "being dehydrated" feels like!!!!! WTH? I ask one simple question, and I get attacked because he ASSUMED I've never been in the military and because he has, he is better than me or something??? I have the utmost respect for people who fight for our country. But I went to college instead. And I am a Psychologist who helps children who were sexually molested. So that makes me the bad guy instead???? Some of you "militant" military people really need to take a chill pill. This was no personal attack against you, and if you think it was, PLEASE get yourself into some Post Traumatic Stress Disorder counseling immediately!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Many military men say they supported Iraq 3 years ago but now say the war is lost and not worth the fight. We all know this will end up like Vietnam says one military man.

I know they havent engaged in battle since WWII,and they as well as Germany arent supposed to have a military anymore,but we all know thats a joke.
If Japan engaged in battle with another country,do you belive they would still use Kamikaze tactics,or is the whole "honorably dieng for a noble cause" mentality a thing of the past?

Reputedly the British S.A.S. is the best in the world, every other army has modeled its special forces on them and comes to them for training. For me only the australian S.A.S. and the Gurkhas come close, what do you think and why?

Thanks alot New York Times; last week two sets of Muslims were caught with prepaid cell phones. One group had over 1000 and the other had about 300. These prepaid cellphones (i.e. Tracfone) are nearly impossible to track and you don't even need a name or address. My question is, do you all think this may be a direct result of the New York Times leaking news of government wiretaps? It appears that peoples lives are now in danger because some irresponsible newspaper wanted to get a front page scoop. Before the Times article was published, terrorists didn't think twice to call up their buddies and plot death and destruction because there was no need. Now that they know the government may be listening, they're resorting to sneakier methods -- like prepaid cell phones. If the president and other politicians can be slapped with a censure, why not the New York Times? I believe in freedom of the press and all, but what the Times did was almost unforgivable.

In WWI the Germans invaded through Belgium, in 1940 the Germans invaded through the low countries again.. The defenses did nothing to deal with the threat from this area.. This was also one of the shortest routes to Paris..

Is it because of Rumsfeld's initial declaration that we only needed 150,000 troops to win and his ego is too big to admit a mistake?
Or is it because Halliburton, Exxon, and the Defense Contractors are making such humungous profits that they want to keep the war going as long as possible (that does make good business sense when you think about it),.
