Military - August 2006

It said U.S. would send 20,000 troops there and the Israeli's would pull out. Do you think this is a good idea? Also what would be the chances of the U.S. extending the fight into Seria if terrorist continue to attack using weapons from there?

The jobs I put down were mostly in the Electronics field and one of them was Open Electronics. Do they give you a list of jobs to choose from at basic, or do they just give you a job? Thank you for your answer.

I can't believe it. This is so shocking. By attacking muslims in the middle east, are we really creating terrorists at home?

Ok I remember in 2001 when we started fighting in Iraq, but now a lot of wars have been going on in the middle east, are we still fight the Iraqi war? Why don't they just leave us Americans out of it or why don't us Americans just stay out of it if we can help it, cause the Idea of us fighting in Middle East for no really important sake (oil is really not important to take away lives) is really annoying? But I do support our American Toops, that's why I want the war to end so they can get out and go home!

I'm talking about perhaps a list of the bases, names, and locations of them. That would be extremely helpful!

Hi. I go to school part-time and I work full-time as a retail manager. I been at the company for almost two years now, and everyday I ask myself why I'm wasting my time. Not to be egotistical, but I'm too smart to be wasting my energy working for a greedy, unappreciative company. I've often thought about seving the country, but I've always had a slight phobia for it. It's horrible, I know, but I really don't know if I have the kind of courage it takes to join the armed forces. I think it would be better for me to spend my time doing something that makes a difference. But I don't really know what kind of opportunities are out there. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks!

You remember the old stars of the silver screen fighting overseas? And what about those who entertained the troops?

Why not let the stars of today go over to Iraq and put their entertaining talents to positive use? After all, Marilyn Monroe was willing to do it, and we have some that still do.

Bring the Troops Home...

...while they can still get a hero's welcome.

Bushwanker has dumped 130,000 US troops into a quagmire where they are surrounded by a civil war (even though the pentagoon is denying it.)

Look around, especially you non-sheeple thinkers. Lieberman just got canned by his own party because, as a shill of the Israeli National Socialists, he has supported the Iraq war. It's a sign of the times. The anger is growing daily.

When troops came home from Vietnam to a totally undeserved bum's welcome, it wasn't their fault that a buncha Wh**e House and Pentagoon men sent them off to die in a unwinnable war. And it's not the soldiers' fault today either.

I'm willing to bet a lot more people can identify Lt William Calley without prompting than they can recall a single victory in Vietnam.

The same thing will happen with Iraqnam. In a few years everybody will still be able to tell you who that trailer trash gangbanger, Steven Green, is/was. But hardly anybody will remember the name of that place the US Marines Corps entered and subdued. Oh, what the hell was that name? Oh, yeah, Fallujah. You remember the place, don't you? US forces did a terrific job of containing the insurgency there...at least eight times!

BTW: Frankly, I don't give a flying care what you ignorant pseudopatriots think of me, and your "kick the **** out of you" beer talk is just more moronism.

Fercrissake, grow up. Anybody who's still stuck on the transient and questionable glory of putting his a$$ on the line for the military-industrial complex, instead of all the really important stuff that must have happened in your lives, is kinda pathetic and kinda sad.

I don't want it for defense or to intimidate people. Jeez, I've been collecting knives since I was 10 years old and I'm 26 now and I've never used a knife to intimidate or threaten anyone. It's just an interest. I've never fired a hand gun. I mean, I have a BB gun, but that isn't the same obviously. Like 311 says, "Guns are for p*ssies." I believe that if you're carrying one around. I think they were referring to the gangsters and ganster-wannabes cuz if you have to use a lethal weapon to defend yourself, you REALLY are a p*ssy. I have a few friends that have gun licenses for hand guns but I've never seen the guns because they use their dad's hand guns at the firing range and therefore need a license to use them. Anyway, any suggestions on a cool looking one that doesn't cost too much?? Please don't tell me I'm stupid for wanting a gun...you may gain 2 points but you're just wasting space for other people's more reasonable answers.

Terrorism is major problem at the moment.

But is it possible to combat terrorists like they are a convential army like Israel is trying to do in Lebanon at the moment?

Or does Guantanemo Bay, or detaining people indefinalty without trial really work?

Does extra security really protect us? Is it ever possible to be secure? Somebody could blow up a shopping centre tommorow. (There is no protection there, and people will always find a way to break security if they are determined enough)

If Osama Bin Laden was caught tommorrow would we have won or would they be 100 more terrorists to take his place?



Is winning the hearts and minds of the terrorists and their supports the best way to combat terrorism? But how is this done?
