When they are in fact ligitimately defending themselves of course. I think that the American policy on this issue "don't shoot unless shot at" stinks. That could easily be too late. And they have to be nicer to their prisoners than they get treated. Any opinions from people with real knowledge on the subject?

I'm swearing in next week, I'm leaning toward Intelligence or something in the administrative field, but I haven't picked any specifics. I know that it's not good to think like this, but I want a job with a short tech school, but something interesting as well. Any ideas are appreciated, please don't criticize my decision to be in the military. Only serious answers from people who know what they are talking about please!

ALL other military services in dress uniform have the 'crease' facing outward, from the waist over the knee then down. Same with shirts. The Navy Presses all their uniforms, with the crease facing inward toward the leg ( also, the in ward crease is on the side of the pants, and there 'Blouses' (shirts) are also pressed in ward along the center of the sleeve line... WHERE AS all other military services have THREE creases runing down the back and TWO in the front... Just one more thing, enlisted personal wear a V neck 'blouse' with a rolled square piece of black material, and with a 'Square know at the V on it. AS FOR 'head covers' - all other military branches, have the 'regular circular top portion of the head cover with a 'bill out in front... BUT the Navy in Dress uniform, other times as well have a sort of heavy white material, formed into some sort of 'object' that would be called a head cover, or in Navy terms, "A white" -- Just interested why the Navy uniform is so different?

Our leaders keep telling us that another terrorist attack can not be prevented. Whistleblowers keep on exposing flaws in our defenses against terrorism, corruption and general incompetance in both our political and military leaders. Its the known goal of the terrorists to kill US civilians, so why aren't there more terrorist attempts?

Teddy Roosevelt defeated the evil empire of Nicuragua and some mexicans. he also killed a mexican with his bare hands. was he not a better president than Reagan? Reagan never killed a mexican with his bare hands. Reagan cheated When he tried to stop the awesome power of the Nicuraguan empire that, in addition to being 'ten days marching distance from Texas', was also evil. Compared to T. Roosevelt Reagan was a complete douchebag.
