Military - October 2006

I understand there are things of interest for Vets but it is done by word of mouth . Our government gives you the status but does not give you any ideas on what is out there for the Vet.

If our troops were drafted, they might have a leg to stand on, but in case you haven't noticed, the US armed forces do a job that we pay them to do. They do not have to enlist if they choose not to.

All of our troops in Iraq have gone there because they signed up to do it. When enlisting, it is made clear what the job entails.
I am so sick of complainers, "Bring our troops home." Shut up. They want to be there. If they don't, then I don't want them on my payroll, and I consider them treasonous friggin' deserters.

We pay them whether of not we are at war. If I'm paying a warrior with my hard earned tax dollars, he'd better be frikkin' warrioring!

I say, "You go warriors! Phuck up those insurgent scumbags!! Throw in a few grenades from your supporter, Dr. Evil!!"

I was hurt and was separated because of something else . i had a waiver to get in for my foot and I injured my knee. They told me that I had small joint effusion in my left knee and it turns out that I tore my knee cap tendon and my left quadricep ligament. What do you think will happen if I sue?

I saw a news brief on this submarine developed by the Swedish and can go completly undetected once submerged in the waters. We currently have one in San Diego where our military is trying to figure out how to detect this vessel. Can you imagine if this fell into the wrong hands? They would be able to go virtually anywhere without detection. AMAZING

a) he listens to Americans' opinions and wants to find the best course
b) he is afraid of a heavy beating for his party at the upcoming polls so, as a marketing strategy, he pretends to comply to everybody else's opinion
c) he is lying and not changing anything, leading to more dead and wounded soldiers and eventually to the US defeat, just like in Corea and Vietnam, and to more terrorist actions against America.

I've been reading about Afghanistan. While it's difficult to judge propoganda on both sides, it seems that support for Nato is eroding. Once the majority of Afghanis don't want you there, what are you doing there? And what chance is there of winning a war with no popular support, or even covert opposition?

The USSR couldn't manage it and I'm sure that there was less emphasis on "hearts and minds" from the Soviet leadership.

The more people you kill, the more orphaned children you have with an incentive to strike back against the killers of their parents.

A recipe for ongoing terrorism, anyone?

How will this war help the people of Afghanistan, and the people of other nations?

Alberto Fernandez, director of public diplomacy in the State Department’s Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, told al-Jazeera on October 22 that the world was “witnessing failure in Iraq.” “I think there is great room for strong criticism, because without doubt, there was arrogance and stupidity by the United States in Iraq,” said Fernandez.

Bush has tried to shrug off the bad news. Asked in mid-October about the rising U.S. casualty rate, Bush responded that this was because “we’re on the move...we’re taking action, we’re helping this young democracy succeed.”

But behind the scenes, the bipartisan Iraq Study Group--convened by Bush family fixer James Baker at Bush’s request--is preparing a report on alternative strategies. Though the report is due to be released after the November elections, leaks to the media suggest that Baker is preparing to “provide camouflage for changing direction,” according to analyst Steven Clemons.

U.S. officials claim that withdrawal would lead to a civil war, but the truth is that the U.S. presence is driving the violence and conflict in Iraq.

For the first time since the U.S. invasion of Iraq, active- duty members of the military are asking Members of Congress to end the U.S. occupation of Iraq & bring American soldiers home.
A few days ago it started with 65 troops. Today it has increased to over 200 troops. It looks as though there will be many more in days to come. They want to know why they are there? They want Congress to listen to them. They are dying, and they don't understand why.
Neither do millions of others. Does this make them unpatriotic? Or is this a legitimate concern, before they die. .
Under the Military Whistle-Blower Protection Act (DOD directive 7050.6), active-duty military, National Guard and Reservists can file and send a protected communication to a Member of Congress regarding any subject without reprisal.

And before you answer, I just want to say that because wars always were does not mean they should always be.

No angry answers please! remain calm....

With the discussion on the War in Iraq turning to the Iraqis being responsible for their own military security, it occurred to me the best way to accomplish this might not be over there, but to bring Iraqi soldiers here and train them just as we do American soldiers, then returning them to Iraq after training is complete. Doing so might even ultimately foster better relations between the two nations. But is it even feasible?
