why israel is loosing the war?? they can stand dead soldiers? poor babies!!!.
even their tank can not survive one man with a antitank missile launcher.

airsuperiority is one thing, but on the field, one hidden man with the right gun can kill thousand of tanks.

The only clear reason why Israel is in that miss is the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian land . if Israel implement the UN 242 resolution in full there will be an end to the on going wars in the Middle East. Israel up to this day will not tell the world and the Palestinian that it will withdraws from all the land mentioned in UN Resolution. Israel want to keep land that was never part of Israel and this is why Israel will never have a lasting peace with native Palestinian people .
End occupation No one could NOT change his mind unless he has no mind.
Occupying other people by force is losing policy in the past and now and has no future.

I have heard soldiers say they are doing a lot of good over there (middle east) too and nothing gets reported in the media but if there is a bad soldiers that do horrible things get a whole lot of coverage. I am not saying do not report on the bad.....but shouldn't we hear the good? With such bad things going on right now I would love to see film of a family that have been helped and appreciate our guys and gals. I am not saying I am pro war either......we made this mess and now we gotta clean it up.

As my wife and I ponder my decision to join the Army, some pretty compelling questions are out there. I'd appreciate your experiences with the following (recruiters, with all respect, please f**k off):

I'm looking at a 98XL/98C MOS, and my buddy (97E, in Iraq) says I can hold out for the MOS and the language I want when I go to MEPS. The local recruiter says no way, the Army will give you the language it wants to.

Is the Army giving bonuses for people willing to take Arabic as their language?

I know enlistment is eight years total. What can you do to have some control over what the Army does with you after your active duty hitch ends?

Is it possible for a 98C to get SERE training?

What will Army housing be like for my wife and baby?

Does the Army by and large keep its word in terms of the enlistment document? If I sign up for College Loan Repayment Program and the Army reneges, my family is screwed on my pay.

Are recruiters idiots or liars? Their crap has been impediment #1

The Americans were mean and hateful to the Vietnam Veterans so when the Iraqi Veterans return with egg on their faces and eating crow will the Americans be mean to them too?

Ive never seen an explanation of how many are in a typical company, how many company's per regiment etc. I want to know what the current make up of the U.S. military is like & how that compares to the Civil War, a period where you read a lot about companies, regiments & brigades. Also I want to know all the ranks for each branch of the military. How do they compare with each other (what is comparable in rank between branches) How have they changed over the years? Is there a good site with a chart of ALL ranks so I can see & compare them? I hear things like E3, Spec. 4 etc. I'm not military so I have no clue what people mean. What are their typical duties, etc. I know this is a lot to ask but my dad runs a military surplus store & I work for him part time & I'm often clueless so it would be nice if I knew some more details & plus Id just like to know for my own benefit, especially how today compares to the era of the Civil War which is my favorite period of history. Thanks!

I say if you go AWOL nothing will happen to you. Back in the 60s and 70 many thousands went AWOL and the President pardon all of them. ( Carter ) I say "No big deal" if you hit the road and say Good Bye to the military.

When I was in back in 1969 we spent one time in Vietnam ( 13 months ) and then we were sent home for good. So why do I hear the men of today doing 3 tours in Iraq. That is no good.

...instead sending troops,send psychiatrists to Iraq along with trucks loads of antidepressants like Prozac and giving group therapy to the insurgents.Medication and group therapy should help their psychotic behavior.
