Military - October 2006

Since the Shittes and Kurds don't want to be apart of a unified Iraq, should we parition the country? Better yet, CAN we do such a thing?

Note: Parition is a idea that involves breaking Iraq into three or more parts, which would allow the Sunnis, the Shittes, and the Kurds to rule their own territory.

I recently sent a request to the Naval services, to get my recently deceased grandfathers records, Upon receiving them I felt that my grandfather deserved more credit for his service than was given to him, I sent in a request to have my grandfather receive a medal, legion of merit to be precise, Is there any chance they'll actually listen, and If so, how long should it take?

any advice?

Backstory: I am 22 and living on my own. I work through a temp agency at the moment, but I generally make enough to be comfortable. My dilemma is I want to go back to school and get a degree. I am uncertain as to what field I want to study, and I am also uncertain as to how I will pay for college. I don't have any help from family or friends; I'm pretty sure scholarships are out of the question; and gov't grants probably won't cover enough. I don't make enough to pay very much for school, especially since my jobs are only temporary.

In this situation, what are your opinions on entering the Air Force? Not only will I be able to serve my country, but I will be able to go forward with my education. I know it would be tough, but my education is very important to me!

Thank you for your answers!!

CIA's job is not to exterminate the enemy. Because the millitary will be out of job. Just do my job and get paid. Info with proof is all they do. You better be a good photographer. Candid shots pay the highest. Why not hire someone else to shoot the pics. While you (Govt. Agent) do something else enjoyable.

They could not leave anything for the rest of us. They had to wipe the
bottom of the plate clean for there $652,000,000 compensation package in the case of the President of Exxon. Do you think they put that much in for the rest of the entire work force hell no. We allowed this group through lobbyist and NSA/CIA strong arm to stifle rights of workers and hinder unions. Beleive me they will do anything to keep even the smallest voice saying anything about starting a organization againist them.

Hey people! I'm wanting to join the Marine Corps and Army. I'm gonna go to college first and earn a degree in something so that when I enter I'm immediatley an officer. I was wondering what jobs specifically are open to women in both branches? Also does anyone know if you have an option on what you eat? I need to know because I'm allergic to wheat. So no pizza, pasta, pancakes, burgers, cakes, you name it I probably can't eat it. Its a real pain. It's only in scandinavians. So yah any info would be very helpful. Thanks!

Coalition pulls out of Iraq. Iraq is partitioned to stem the violence. Iran + Syria covertly fund Extremists until Iraq falls and then include Iraq as part of the new Islamic revolution. Then they turn towards Saudi Arabia and the house of Saud their 'decadent neighbour' From there, this new middle east coalition would attack Israel, given Iran's vow to destroy the state, from all sides. Israel go nuclear to defend a hopeless strategic situation. Western government attempts to stop this come to nothing. I'm not saying this is a well researched question but discuss if you wanna. Interested in the hypothetical responses not tunnel vision americans saying they're country wouldn't let it happen or the west will act as moderators. Sooner or later the Middle East will decide it's own fate irrespective of what the west think.

Thanks!

The U.S military and C.G have the most medals of any western country. In commonwealth country's you only get medals for deployments, bravery or long or (extremely) distinguished service. while in the u.s navy people seem to get a couple of medals a year. A Vice admiral in the Australian Navy may have three ribbon bars (rows) of medals on his tunic. While a U.S admiral cant even stand up straight because the medals are dragging him down. Im not being malicious or anything.
But for all the u.s soldiers out there, do they really mean anything?

Margaret Beckett, Britain's Foreign Minister, admits the Iraq invasion may be viewed as a disaster by historians. Eminent historians argue Iraqis would be better off under Saddam. 655,000 Iraqis dead, 2798 US servicemen killed and more than 20,000 wounded; 119 British soldiers killed, 4,000 evacuated from Iraq as either wounded or sick. Each of these figures means a family traumatised by the sight of a loved one mutilated or grief stricken by death.

There appears to be no way out. If we abandon the Iraqis the country will descend into a fully blown civil war with Sunni muslims fighting Shia's, with the Kruds battling for autonomy, with former Baathists seeking to restore the status quo when Saddam ran the country, and terrorists from around the world stirring up the flames of conflict.

Was the invasion a horrendous mistake?

Why Not???
