I hope you saw the new movie by Clint Eastwood about the heros of Iwo Jima. In a few seens these big power business men give there cards to the service men to come and see them after the war. When our heros tried to contact these men who were from Yale in the movie they could not get a job! all the hero's were left with very low jobs and had a hard time with life. Our heros fight and the CEO of the military industrial complex reap all the money as the men die and then when they come back heros they are ignored.

The difference between enlisted and officer are obvius, but summing it up- Officer commands and has a degree of some sort, while enlisted listens, obeys, and doesnt usually have college degrees..But what is a Warrant Officer?

-Do you need a college degree?
-Would you 'enlist' as you would to be enlisted? Or how to become a Warrant Officer?
-Iv tried to find information and noticed they had their own pay and ranks..But is this straight from High School or from College?..And if its right from High School why would people go enlisted when they can go Warrant Officer?

(Links would be good, But Id rather have answers in your own writing if possible)

--Thanks

The assignmentis for my Mass Communications course: conduct a poll (yes/no style) and write a story on it.

Please respond with a "pull out" or "stay" answer, then your reason on why you chose that answer. PLEASE state why.

Thanks!

If you wanted to become officer in the US Army and you took the path of enlistment first how would you go about it?

I know you could go to OCS, but when you enlist what if you had no colllege credits or very little credits? Then the Green to Gold comes in but it I beleive it says you need to have somewhere around like half of your credits because the programs only 2 years long..

So your youve been enlisted for 1-2 years and have your GI Bill, little or no college credits..How do you go about getting to officer (Going to college) while STAYING ON ACTIVE DUTY?

(PS-Im not enlisted or in this particular situation)

--Thanks

It is my understanding that Depleted Uranium is considered a weapon of mass destruction and is banned for use in warfare by international law, yet the US and Israel use it routinely.

It is also my understanding that the US military has used thousands of tons of depleted uranium in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Kuwait and Iraq, sickening civilians and its own soldiers by the tens of thousands, yet our government remains mute on this issue.

We want to support our sons and daughters serving abroad, but it is difficult to support those who unnecessarily are putting them in harms way. What would be the purpose of such a thing?

Once again, I can't find any decent information on the internet. The internet has just become one giant mass of contridictions and its now more confusing than helpful. All I want to know is if a U.S. Army soldier returns from overseas, like serving in a hostile area l ike South Korea, for a year, then is there a minimum amout of time he has to stay stateside (on U.S. soil) before he deploys for another overseas duty in another hostile area like Iraq. Thank you.

I don't know if these are factors or not but i'll just list them off. My brother is now finishing up his year of service in South Korea. When he leaves there he goes to Fort Hood, TX but he only has about 9 to 10 months left on his contract. He is almost 24 years old.thanks for your time.

Pat Tillman's brother Kevin speaks out against warAssociated Press

PHOENIX -- The brother of an NFL player who was killed in Afghanistan after quitting the team to join the U.S. Army Rangers has broken his silence.


What really happened when Pat Tillman was killed by friendly fire in 2004? A three-part E-ticket investigation in July sought answers.
• Part 1: An Un-American Tragedy

• Part 2: Playing With Friendly Fire

• Part 3: Death of an American Ideal

Kevin Tillman, a former Army Ranger who served in Iraq and Afghanistan with his older brother, Pat Tillman, has remained silent since his brother's death in 2004. But this week, he wrote a scathing indictment of the war in Iraq, the Bush administration and American apathy.

"Somehow, the more soldiers that die, the more legitimate the illegal invasion becomes," Kevin wrote on Truthdig.com, which purchased his work.

I have heard numerous rumors that tricare will pay for 1 plastic surgery operation, but then i read in their 'handbook' that they dont. I have a medical issue that was caused by a military dr, and needs fixed, but its not 'demed' as a medical necessity. I need it fixed and I want tri care to pay for their f*ck up.

its not far to me that i have to look like this from their stupid (majority of them are) drs. that don't care, they just get paid.

I was just recently informed that my brother is going to Fort Hood, Texas for the last 8 or 9 months of his contract he signed up for with the Army. I am aware that alot of people get shipped off to Iraq from Fort Hood, but does everyone? also if he only has that amount of time left, would they even bother shipping him off to Iraq? Isn't there a minimum amount of time you have to serve in Iraq..like a year or something? Thank you for your time.
