I was doing some shopping in a Jap covenience store..and as I was leaving they told me to pay..

So I told them I wouldn't because I am American and you are in my country and my country saved yours in world war 2.
My brave granpa dropped an atom bomb on your country to liberate you..
And do you know what happened..they told me to leave..no thank you..no nothing..

Why don't the Japanese thank the Americans for Hiroshima..We liberated their country..and it is not like any Americans were killed..So who cares if a few hundred thousand Japanese died??

What country in the world with the technology to defend itself would not flex its muscles? Is US being "provocative" when they test nuclear weapons, or is that a different story? If so, why?

Im always so amused when I hear someone talking about how our soldiers are "fighting for our freedom." The notion, of course, is laughable.

While all the fear-monger types would have us beleive there is some enemy out there systematically trying to deprive us of our freedom, that boogie-man exists only in the vapid confines of childish minds.

The only entity on earth with the power to deprive us of our freedom is our own government. People seem to forget that. We are a disarmed society, quickly becoming a police state while people fret about terrorism. They fear external sources while neglecting the fact that every revolution ever fought for the sake of freedom has been fought against ones own government.

No one has died for american freedom since the Civil war. If you like your freedom, thank the ACLU. Thank a constitutional law scholar. Thank a lawyer or a judge who has struck down a paranoid law designed to oppress. Thank Feingold. THATS where your freedom comes from.

Is it possible to go straight into the USMC as an officer? Or must you first go in as enlisted and work your way up? If you can go in as an officer, what are the requirements?

In conventional warfare, victory conditions are usually easily defined: the leaders of the defeated nation state are forced to sign articles of surrender and command their forces to cease hostilities. Even in the Cold War there was the clear goal of causing the fall of the Soviet Union.

Apparently the War on Terror is a new kind of war. What exactly are our goals and how will we know when they have been achieved?

My plan was joining the air force and staying for 20 years to get that early retirement pay. But i heard they are cutting down on personels and i guess that would lessen my chance stayin in for 20 years cuz they might put me out...now im looking into navy...Important to me is job security, base life quality (i know its air force), and faster promotion (which i know is slow in the air force)..thanks

I have just a few facts why everyone should support the war.

1. Terrorists attacked our country five years ago.

2. We are killing terrorists in Iraq.

3. We have had zero terrorist attacks since the war started.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE??? There is no reason to take our troops out if Iraq! In fact, we should invade Iran and Jordan!

Personally I would not. Everyday they are taking more and more civil liberties away from us under the guise of protecting us for terrorists.
The only thing I care about it my family and if demanded to fight for something I don't believe in I would take them and leave so fast. In my opinion the terrorists have won because we are losing small freedoms each and every day. It's sickening.

By DAVID PEVEAR , Sun Staff

ANDOVER -- If Abraham Lincoln were alive and waging the war on terror, our greatest Republican president might be doing the same thing George W. Bush is doing as commander in chief.

Infuriating the Democrats.

Lincoln no doubt would find it necessary to suspend the writ of habeas corpus -- the right of one to challenge imprisonment in front of a judge -- and his wishes would include doing so for U.S. citizens who might exhibit excessive antiwar sentiment.

But chances also are that by now, more than 31/2 years into the war in Iraq, Lincoln would have raised taxes, reinstituted a draft, fired generals until he found his Ulysses S. Grant and crafted a speech eloquently defining for a divided populace why the last, best hope
of Earth is right to "give confidence to the people in the contested regions that the insurgent power will not again overrun them." (Lincoln's words in December 1863, not Bush's in 2006.)
