The terrorist know how pansy people are and take advantage of it. They know we will not " drop down to their level" when it comes to revenge and justice and thats where we suck as a country. EYE FOR EYE is how it needs to be or else were just going to get pushed around and punked by these towelheads. You people need to grow some balls.

this one is mainly for folks who have served or are currently serving in the army. (anyone is welcome to tell me about the areas where there are postings as well though, just wanted the perspective from someone through the services eyes). i'm joining soon, that's why i'm asking. i'd like to be stationed in italy, japan or germany. (and please for any wise-guy out there who thinks he's a genuis or thinks it would be clever to pop off and say something about the war you don't remind me and everyone else of what the entire world already knows it's not going to sound clever and no one will be impressed).

I am thinking about joining the Army National Guard.My recruiter is telling me that once I sign up for my MOS it is guarenteed that I get it when I return home from boot camp. Is this true? Can they stick me with a job I dont want? I know this happens to other branches of the service who are active but he says it works differently for the guard. Is this true?

WASHINGTON - Investigators believe that their criminal investigation into the deaths of about two dozen Iraqi civilians points toward a conclusion that Marines committed unprovoked murders, a senior defense official said Friday.

The official did not disclose specific evidence. The incident, if confirmed, could be the most serious case of criminal misconduct by U.S. troops during three years of combat in Iraq.

According to a congressional aide, lawmakers were told in a briefing Thursday that it appears as many as two dozen civilians were killed. And they were told that the investigation will find that "it will be clear that this was not the result of an accident or a normal combat situation." The Marines are an embarrassment to the United States but Mr Bush states the Marines act the way the Americans want them to act. To kill is the fine proud American way.

The only way as Bush says.

To my knowledge, no president has ever attended the funerals of the soldiers who've died in the war over which he was presiding, yet this is a snide criticism offered by the far left of our current commander in chief.
Should President Bush attend soldiers' funerals? And if so, how is this not an unfair standard?

Bombings, mortar attacks kill 39 in Iraq.


BAGHDAD, Iraq - Police said Wednesday they found the bodies of 65 men who had been tortured, shot and dumped, most around Baghdad, while car bombs and mortar attacks killed at least 39 people and wounded 78 more.

Two U.S. soldiers were also killed — one on Monday from enemy action in restive Anbar province and the other Tuesday by a roadside bomb south of Baghdad, the U.S. military command said. 24 Marines were also shot and wounded. As one troop said "Why did Bush say "Bring Um On"?

The U.S. military said it could not confirm all the execution-style killings but did say there were many dead.

"It is looking like about a 50 percent discrepancy on execution-style killings so far," said Maj. Josslyn Aberle, chief of the media relations division for the Multi-National Corps- Iraq. The Marines admit they need more men to do the job but Mr Bush will not allow more troops into Iraq. The Maines state they are getting beat.

..then why can vets "double" dip... My problem is that every Vet I know that is receiving disability checks are working full time.

...civilians, cannot get disability and work at all, secondly, they will never receive SSI and SSID.

...It appears that the reason social security is going insolvent, is that now every military vet that is aging, is turning that into a second retirement check and that they are giving them double money at the expense of decreasing or cojmpletely not paying the civilian at age 66. Afterall Vets can retire at 40 and have pleanty of time to get a second and or third retirement for themselves...
....please note, My problem is not with concurrent combat duty pay..


.. I have heard they may put the Veterians disablity under the social security dept., meaning they will have to qualify the same way that civilians have to qualify...I say "to shah!!"

On the dude that said this:

"I have no intention of arguing about the Holocaust. But, does it not stand to reason that some victorious countries of World War II intended to create an alibi on the basis of which they could continue keeping the defeated nations of World War II indebted to them."

Before 9/11 i never thought anything bad about hating any race.
But now i cannot stand the word muslim.
I can't turn on my TV without seeing some muslim ranting and raving about his/her religion.
I think what annoys me the most is the silence from the so called peaceful muslims living in my country, they never gather in their thousands to protests about beheadings and the London bombings or 9/11 or Madrid or Bali.
They just seem to rant about the war which for the record i don't blame them.
The sad thing is i have muslim friends who are good people, but when i'm talking to them they aways give me the feeling that they agree with all terrorist activity thats going on in the world without actually saying it.
I think if they took to the streets condemming these acts of murder i will feel different to them, I know i would.
But at the moment in my country as you know we are actually getting BRITISH born suicide bombers coming out of the woodwork.
So now i hate them, am i wrong?

Americans wanted to crash Hussein, so they did. That's OK. But telling the truth their were no terrorist in Iraq under him (this fact was proved by Pentagon by the way) now US Army almost lost control of this. They now couldn't defend even diplomats in the center of Bahdad not to tell about the other part of country. Iraq is being controled by group of bandits and terrorists. Hundreds of peole die every day. World hate USA for this unjustice war. So I can see no good in future. Do you? Why?

My husband gained sole custody of his 3 children from a previous marriage. He is in the military and recently got orders to move us to Japan, In April. Is there anything that protects military members in custody disputes to keep their children, if a move was not mentioned in the child custody action. The judge is well aware that my husband is in the military and a move was going to happen eventually. And when should we tell the mother? Please keep in mind we are dealing with someone who gave up her children for a man and has never had her children's best interest in her mind. Please do not tell me to go to the JAG office, they do not deal with civil matters such as divorce. Any ideas on how to keep my family together? Please know I am not trying to keep the children from their mother either, they just belong with us, so they are not in danger or abused. Has anyone else gone though this or know someone who has, what was the outcome.
