Military - September 2006

I think that The U.S. and the rest of the world is screwed. I feel that we are handing The world to china on a silver platter. When you pick someting up and read where it comes from Most of the time it says "Made In China" With all there people and all the products they make they could stop producing and have the next Hitler and try to dominate the world. Most will read this and think yea right the U.S. would kick there ***, but if you think about it they have billions of people and many communist allys.

So where do you think china is headed.
Thanks
Jake

Several of you keep asking questions with an anti-war/anti american connotation. If you believe there is a better country to live in, which one is it? List evidence to support your choice, and please try to demonstrate that you have at least a grade school education.

The French Government announced today that it is imposing a ban on the use of fireworks at Euro Disney. The decision comes the day after a nightly fireworks display at the park, located just 30 miles outside of Paris, caused the soldiers at a nearby French Army garrison to surrender to a group of Czech tourists.

What type of man or woman volunteers in todays world

This quote is from an answer to a question about rep. who send hate mail

"


Politics is something to be debated, and people do take offense when you bring into question morals, ethics ect

I too have received my share of hate mail
I would like to remind your contributor that traditionally when the fighting starts Republicans claim they are 4F
It is the liberals, the progressives and the libertarians, the real working class of this country who have shouldered the load and gone to battle"


Do you think this person is right????????
I don't, but I don't know, in the end the soliders poltical leanings don't matter.

I can understand why women are allowed to have combat support jobs, but the Marines are supposed to be infantry first, MOS second. That's what "every Marine a rifleman" means, right? But the Army blocks women from serving in the infantry. If the Marines are supposed to be infantry, how can women serve this role?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Some say "We have them, why can't they have them?" Well, I believe it is VERY obvious that we have never threatened any country with a nuclear missile since Japan. While Iran on the other hand...has made it very clear their intentions to attack Israel(our ally) and possibly us. They are already supporting the terrorists! How is it right to allow them to have these if their intentions are already set to be destructive? Think about it...those who have these highly sought after missiles have not used them in warfare since 1945!!! They have no reason to use them against each other. There is no need at the moment! They are simply too destructive to mess around with. But Iran insists that they get them and use them on the innocent. They MUST be stopped before it is too late...or else....


I believe that the United States should stop them in whatever way possible, that possibly meaning invasion. Stupid liberal peace treaties don't cut it. The Middle East has already proved that they cannot follow the rules. We need to take action on this evil before it is too late!!!

VA study doubts Gulf War syndrome.

WASHINGTON - The unexplained symptoms that afflict thousands of Gulf War veterans don't constitute a single illness, a federally funded study concludes.

Even though U.S. and foreign veterans of the 1991 war report more symptoms of illness than do soldiers who didn't serve in the Persian Gulf, there is no such thing as Gulf War syndrome, according to the Veterans Affairs-sponsored report released Tuesday.

Nearly 30 percent of all those who served in the brief war have reported problems. The V.A. and Bush say they (Veterans) are not telling the truth.
"There's no unique pattern of symptoms. Every pattern identified in Gulf War veterans also seems to exist in other veterans, though it is important to note the symptom rate is higher, and it is a serious issue," said Dr. Lynn Goldman, of Johns Hopkins University. The Veterans just want a free ride and the Republicans, being so honest, make sure Vets do without. It's the right thing to do.

These animals have no qualms about strapping on a bomb and running into a cafe to blow up innocent women and children, or their repeated attempts to cause mas destruction with airplanes. These savages are nothing more than cold-blooded killers and are not subject to the Geneva Convention. I for one have no problem with a guard down at Gitmo beating the crap out of some terrorist or pushing his head into a bucket of water until he passes out. Notice how in '91 when all of Saddams soldiers surrendered en masse we treated them humanely according to the Geneva Convention because as soldiers in a standing army they were party to the Geneva Convention. These terrorists have no rights whatsoever. Did they adhere to the Geneva Convention when they killed Daniel Pearl or when they decapitated Nicholas Berg and posted his murder on the internet? If torturing a terrorist can directly prevent another attack on U.S. soil, then so be it.
