What's the difference between a pre-emptive strike and an attack? Is it simply a matter of whose side you're on, or is there really no difference at all?

By the answers given to this story it appears that most people are proud of being portrayed this way.

Yet, when I read it all I saw was a Marine being portrayed as a neanderthal that could not controll his temper for 15 minutes. As a Marine I was offended. As an Atheist I was appaled.

Again, Is this how most other Marines think they should be portrayed?

I was just wondering,

I am active duty army and I am currently going through college in which the military paid my tuition. Even though I am not paying anything for school can I apply for my GI Bill and get it.

I got the GI Bill when I first came in but never researched it. I am close to my degree and wont need it when I get out of the military and I know I have to be going to school to claim it. Can I do that now and if so how....

Thanks.

For all the free people that still protest, you're welcome,
We protect you and you are protected by the best.
Your voice is strong and loud, but who will fight for you?
No one standing in your crowd.
We are your faterhs, brothers, and sons,
wearing the boots and carrying the guns.
We are the ones that leave all we own,
to make sure your future is carved in stone.
We are the ones who fight and die.
We might not be able to save the world, well at least we try.
We walked the paths to where we are at
and we want no choice other than that.
So when you rally your group to complain,
take a look in the back of your brain.
In order for that flag you love to fly,
wars must be fought and young men must die.
We come here to fight for the ones we hold dear,
if that's not respected, we would rather stay here.
So please stop yelling and put down your signs,
and pray for those behind enemy lines.
When the conflict is over and all is well,
be thankful that we chose to go

I know everything about robotic machines replacing our spots in the battlefield and its making me sad to know that the generation of soldiers wont be fighting on the frontlines. Instead remote bots will be the one's fighting for us and well, wheres the pride in the that? I know the robot factor way surpasses the human factor but, what about the little kids who were hoping to fight like the marines they saw as their dad or moms or the ones they seen on t.v...will the military still let us take the place of a robot when we want to? or will they deny us?

Is it hard to become a fighter pilot if you didn't go to the naval or air force academy but just a regular university? It's always been my dream to be a fighter pilot but I couldn't make it into the academy because of my citizenship status.

someone on Yahoo answers asked this question a few minutes ago. Since he is obviously your typical uneducated neocon slob that believes everything he hears on the trailerpark news channel...so be it.

My question to Bush is...

Am I really suppossed to simply believe that a bunch of rag tag, Islamic bums put together the most brilliant, inexspensive attack in human history since the TROJAN HORSE, to destroy the biggest symbols of America, all of which are IN BLUE STATES just so they could make a point ?

am I really suppossed to believe that these ignorant, illiterate sand people did this knowing that they would be bringing down the forces of the greatest military power on Earth on their heads - basically drawing a death sentence for themselves?

Am I suppossed to simply believe Osama Bin Ladin is currently harder to find than Jesus?

I suppose Iraq had WMD too?

After researching all of the "facts" and details of 9/11's attacks, I SMELL A FUCI

Two things to know before you read below: Marines are taught 1) Keep your priorities in order and 2) Know when to act without hesitation.


A Marine was attending a college course between missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. The professor, an avowed atheist, shocked the class one day when he walked in, looked toward the ceiling, and said loudly, "God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly 15 minutes."


The lecture room fell silent and the professor began his lecture. Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, "Here I am God - still waiting."


It got down to the last minute when the Marine stood up, walked toward the professor and threw his best punch knocking him off the platform and out cold. The Marine went back to his seat and sat down.


The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there looking on in silence. The professor came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, "What the hell is the matter with you? Why did you do that?"


The Marine calmly replied, "God is busy today protecting America's soldiers who are protecting your right to behave like an idiot and say stupid stuff. So He sent me

Israel has basically bombed...actually...FLATTENED the majority of southern Lebanon and till hasn't managed to stop Hezbollah. Their leader is alive and well and you allready know that the moment this cease fire is over, they are gonna launch another 1000 rockets into Israel, most likely, Tel Aviv if they use the Khaibar type rockets.

I saw a little while ago, Bush defending Israel and climing that Hezbollah hasn't won anything - despite the fact that the entire rest of the world sees that Israel has lost a major political battle.
Bush sounded so pathetic in fact, like a child arguing with a group of schoolyard boys.
So dissapointing this "president" is...

"how could hezbollah have won if....uh...well Israel obviously has beaten them...duhhhh"

anyway, I think Hezbollah has won despite the damage to Lebanon.

You mean to tell me Israel has FLATTENED almost everything in most of those areas and Hezbollah is still fighting?

or you might not think of it as the war on terror, but. What do you "the liberal" think we should have done about 9/11 and all other countrys who pose a threat and want to destroy the u.s.?

It does not look like the Israeli military has ever had regard for civilians.. I remember a story about a Palestinian woman who for no apparent reason was filled with an awful dread. She gathered up her children and ran out of the house. Seconds later, an Israeli missile landed in her living room destroying her home.

How many innocent people have been blown up by the Isreali army claiming to be targeting terrorists?

So how much credence can we really give to what the Israelis say?

Before any retarded Neo Cons, republicans or South western Americans living below the poverty line make ridiculous comments about my question/comment,
I want you to read this:

http://www.cbc.ca/story/world/national/2005/03/13/syria-lebanon050313.html

and I want you to watch this:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=_5eBrfrWoTk&feature=RecentlyWatched&page=1&t=t&f=b

Isn't it so obvious what happened?
Basically, America and the UN forced Syria to pull its troops out of Lebanon so that when Israel launched its attack against Hezbollah it wouldn't risk harming Syrian troops.

Similar situations happened when Clinton was bombing Serbia. Do to the amount of bombing we did and the amount of refugees fleeing Serbia, other countries in the area mobilized their forces to protect their boarders.

Basically, The war in Lebanon was planned early on and methodically carried out by the US & Israel.

I am making this conclusion for myself and using evidence from the past to support it
