Military - September 2006

Only the weak, scared, and evil torture. Those who order and sanction torture, but leave the dirty work to others, are an order of magnitude more culpable morally. (A special place is reserved for the lawyers who give legal cover for such orders.)

Well as i said b4, im an Australian and Australias Pretty young(105 years since Federation) and we havent made many enemies(were working on it, all our enemies it wasnt our fault to begin with, were just blind sheep :P)

But America isnt much older(100+ years i believe) and why are they the main target, i would have thought England, Germany and France would be due to all their involvement with the Middle East back since the crusades. Is it their military might or their economic prowess that makes them the target?(im guessing its the Foreign Policy that interferes too much with other countries, and the military might that they cant fight back)Please Enlighten me.

(as of my knowledge i woulda put it down to the crusades and putting israel in the middle of a Muslim/Islam world)

Apparently in 1939, although Gdansk (or Danzig as it was then) was a 'free city', Poland was allowed to keep a garrison there, which numbered 182 by that time. What was the name of the regiment?

Im an Australian and from all the news it seems that after the war in Iraq, everyone is on edge more, terrorists making more threats, and nothing has improved atall except make life hell for the US, The Brits, the Spanish, the Japs and us Aussies?

(Normally we dont go to war unless our country is immediately in danger, or the brits are, har har. But is this a US Foreign Policy disaster and did it just drag every1 else down with it?)

The personal conflict that I have is that I never agreed with the Iraqi invasion. Now that we are there I can't see a positive thing about us leaving.

I will despise GWB and his Neo-nazi-con followers forever for his decision and the lies he told before the UN, U.S. citizens and the US congress forever. Their profit motive has resulted in the death of U.S. soldiers, U.S. citizens, as well as Iraqi citizens. Anyone who believes that the Iraqi invasion has something to do with 9/11 is completely mistaken and should really take an objective look at the truth about the Saudi Arabians and other Arab states that fund Al Qaeda. Please feel free to forward this opinion to the white house. The Republican Party is ultimately going to bring this country to the ground as a result of blind following.

Yes, if you are one of those followers, you should be offended by this message and please volunteer to go to Iraq and die for your blind support of the profit motive. Chances are you never will.

Absence of democracy, Wepons of Mass Destruction and support to terrorism were the reasons given for the Iraq war or which the latter two were false. In fact Bush's close Ally Pakistan becomes a fitter case for a war if these are the conditions for an Invasion. True the Taliban were asking for it for a long time, eventually someone else would have kicked their @ss if it wasnt for America. Did Bush's personal bias against Saddam lead America to war with Iraq? Did Bush play with the sentiments of the Americans and the support of the International countries after 911? Surely The U.S wouldnt have attacked Iraq if it wasnt for 911 which we know Iraq had nothing to do with. Surely the U.S public was lied about 911 and led to a war because of one man's bias.

I have yet to see the United States military organize huge parades like the ones in Russia, China, North Korea, etc. Why is this? I'm talking about huge formations walking down a street, tanks, missles, the whole enchilada. We have the best military in the world and we never do these type of events.

They are the main source of funding and arming terrorists. Even the U.S has made arrests of terrorist who revealed that they had been trained in Pakistan. India and Afghanistan are continuously complaining about the Pakistani support to Militants and Taliban. Infact most of the Taliban are based in the Pakistani territory and continue to reign havoc amongst the coalition forces. Even President Bush has said that Pakistan needs to do more in stopping cross border attacks.

Granted he is fronting for people worse than he is, but this evil little man wants to expose our military and citizens abroad to the same treatment, but also it means that all those that espouse and promote torture could/should be subject to arrest and prosecution in foreign countries. Kissinger faces prosecution already in some countries. You can bet our " leaders " can be prosecuted for war crimes later down the road as well.

I know recently discharged veterans are aware because when we get out they brief us on our benefits, but some of you older veterans...you can claim for any injuries/illness you had while active duty. Even better you can claim for any injuy or illness caused secondary to a service connected disability.
