Military - August 2006

Now that Bush and the Republicans are in trouble in the polls, suddenly all the big wigs are speaking out about the wonders of this Administration. They are so smart, but where was all this smartness in 2003? Rummy has this sharp wit and short temper with anyone who disagrees with him and his friends. Well Rummy it has been three years and you can not sell the idea that you know what you are doing. Everyone already has made of their minds on the subject. You and your leader and all your puppets were blowing smoke in the first three years in Iraq, and you and your leader are still lost and over your heads on the subject of Iraq.

Gonzales was the President Bush's Attroney in the White House when he wrote the new rules on legal treatment of Prisoners of War. He called the stautes in the Geneva Convents quaint. He also wrote that the Geneva Convention does not rule the issue of how modern day detainee should be treated. Some have claimed that it was Gonzales' writings that lead to the torture of Prisoner of War through out Iraq and at Guantanomo Bay Prison. It has also been suggested that their is a lack of candor on this subject which could and maybe should lead to legal court action after Gonzale leaves Government.
Now we find him in Iraq schooling Government Officials like children on the issue of Rule of Law?
What next Rummy on caring deeply for the troops!

UN humanitarian chief Jan Egeland says thousands of civilians are at risk in south Lebanon from unexploded cluster bombs dropped by Israeli forces in the last three days of the war against Hezbollah guerrillas.

Mr Egeland said today the UN Mine Action Co-ordination Centre had assessed "nearly 85 per cent of bombed areas in south Lebanon" and identified "359 separate cluster bomb strike locations that are contaminated with as many 100,000 unexploded bomblets".

Shelf stable for soooo long? I'm talking about MRE's. I have about 20 cases in my Garage, and other than the mention of a "Sopacko packing company", there is not a mention of where they are processed or manufactured. Are they just vaccum sealed meals the government has purchased from various commercial distributors? Or, something more sinister?

I'd go to college on the GI bill after my enlistment, and as an officer I don't want to get people killed because of my incompetency. Also, I just can't bear it, I'm just BURNING to be a Marine, much moreso than college.

It showed the Marine on his knees throwing up. The reporter said the young big bad Marine saw an Insurgent and became so scared he threw up and hollered "Take me out of here". I thought they trained the Marines to be brave. Do they?

Look what the war on Lebonon has brought the US and Israel. Instead of dancing in the streets, it is nashing of teeth and raised fists calling for the Prime Minister's head. But then again, the Liberals tried to warn the conservatives that it is never a good idea to start a war, and this War was started as a result of the heavy handedness of the Israel attacks on Palistinings, including targeted assasinations which are clearly violations of human rights and obvious insults to the Rule of Law!
So, from the West Bank of Palistine to the Green Zone in Baghdad, the talking heads of the Bush Administration are again diffending war as an approprate means to create Peace!
This does not sound like the President of the United States is a truly born-again Christian. Jesus in the New Testament does not justify killing for any rightious reason or any reason at all.
There is no book in the Bible that states that Jesus supports War as a way or a tool to gain the Kingdom of Heaven. None!

Nelson, to me, perfected the art of war: who are your hero's?

His victories at the Nile & Trafalger were stunning in implications for EVERY single person on this planet and in their stategy and tactics

By the way, none of that pacifist business please: wars happen, the death or glory attitude has changed the course of human history more than any religion or natural disaster and shaped the world everyone is now a product of...if you don't agree find a nice question about kittens or trees or dreams or something to play with...this one is for the realists and true students of history and anthropology

I have someone very close to me who is getting ready to head overseas in the next week or so. I'm definitely staying as positive as I can, despite the whole situation, and he's very positive as well. Deep down, I'm absolutely nervous and scared about him going over there. I just wanted to know for the people who have been over there, what were your experiences like? All the news ever shows is the negative side to things, and I do hear positive aspects of things that are going on over there. Was it difficult for you or your family member to cope with being back home? Did you experience any PTSD or anything of that nature. Share your thoughts, or if you have family members who have been in Iraq.

my boyfriend is in the army and in Iraq. He went out on patrol yesturday and got shot. He is ok cause it hit his helmet (thank god for kevlar) but im a little shaken about it. he will be home from his year long deployment in 2 months so I'm looking forward to him coming home. I guess my question is how do i calm myself down? i'm not crying or anything but i feel more worried than i usually am. he always tells me is ok and he said not to worry that he is fine.thanks!

I want a job that is fun and exciting, and I am currently most interested in Med Service and Transpo, but Quartermaster or Engineers don't seem bad either. I am open to ideas. Just trying to get as much info as possible before I decide in a month.
