Military - October 2006

I have always been told that you were not supposed to be do this. I am in the USAF and we play retreat every day. I know if you are outside you are supposed to salute and if you are in a vehicle you are supposed to stop but does anyone have in writing some where that if the music has already started it is considered disrespectful to walk outside in the middle of retreat.

My husband is in the military and we live on base with our 2 children. I was at a store about 10 miles off base and overheard a group of people talking bad about the military wifes. One said they are all fat, lazy, dirty, money hungry, *****. Many other things were said, and then I said something. I was upset because I am only 105 lbs. and am very active and keep a perfect house. Why are they so harsh, and what gave us such a bad name?

Im planning on moving to San Antonio with my future husband and 5 year old daughter. My husband will be attending school fulltime and I will be a 1st LT in the USAF. Will it be difficult to live off of only one military salary?

North Korea didn't need Nuclear weapons,it wasen't threatened and its admitted it wanted the bomb to enhance there negociations with the U.S & China so why should they be trusted, the nation in my opinion is brain washed by the Dictator, well thats how it seems anyhow.

"The war has 'too much of a human cost'," says one of the first active-duty service members and Iraq veterans to file an appeal of redress through a whistleblower provision in military law.

The number of military service members protesting the Iraq War through official communication to their members of Congress nearly doubled since Monday to 118 soldiers and Marines, according to a lawyer consulting the group.

Both House candidates (seeking to replace Rep. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., who is running for U.S. Senate), expressed support for protesting service members.

"I appreciate anyone who contributes to a change in Iraq," said Democratic candidate Peter Welch, pro tem of the state Senate. "I'd like our troops to be heard."

Welch said he supports withdrawing American troops from Iraq by the end of 2007 and suggested that troops could become involved in shaping a new strategy on Iraq by testifying before Congress."

and that the US was winning the war. Now he contradicts himself and says that he is not satisfied. Well, which one is it? I would like answers from Bush voters, since you voted for that dude. I believe that he just says what plp want to hear andhas lost control of the war.

If North Korea wanted to attack Japan with a nuclear warhead (assuming NK DOES have nuclear weapons) could Japan protect itself without U.S. or Chinese help? In other words, does Japan have their own surface-air missiles? Because I've heard that they don't.

I have six months left in the Navy to close out twenty years of service and I am greviously disenchanted with my command and just want to walk out the door. My command is trying to bully me into having a retirement ceremony. Is there any regulation that forces me to do this or am I just being strong-armed?

In a life threatening event, do different values affect how you think and react before training kicks in ? Is this even valid when it happens to one of your own?

Just wondering. We seem to have such a lot of artificially created, unnecessary wars around us. Is it just a way of subduing internal strife for some countries? Argentina did this with the Falkland War - starting it detracted the population from its internal problems. Could it be that this is the true reason for the campaigns we see launched by some countries all the time? Does anyone know where to find any research on this?
Thanks.

How would you reverse the escalation in rhetoric & threats from all sides and reduce the chance of being sucked into a possible WW3?

Should Bush stop his Axis of Evil threats? Should Bush stop his silly refusal to talk to Iran? Should Israel come clean and admit to having nukes, but agree to destroy them if Iran ends nuclear work? Should Iran make a cast iron promise never to start a conflict with Israel? Should Iran and Syria help the USA sort out the Iraq disaster? Should all nations open a new embassy in the each others country and build political and commercial ties?

Or do you think the Neocons & Ahmadinejad want a military conflict?

How do you see this moving forward? Are you concerned? If you’re not, perhaps you’re unaware of the forces we’ll unleash by taking on Iran.

Serious answers please, because this is a serious danger. No racism.
