Military - October 2006

Now don't get me wrong I fully support our troops they are doing their jobs and very well also. But every morning I feel for the parents who are finding out that their son or daughter will not be coming home. I work for a large fire department and 9/11 is a constant reminder ever day I know what we lost that day and I know what our men and women are fighting for but I would like to know if there could not be a better way without more blood shed of our soldiers to achieve this? I would love for peace to happen tomorrow morning so I do not have to think of one more parent, brother or sister who will loose a loved one. Any good ideas out there?

Our soilders needlesly die everyday and for what? Even if we can "liberate" Iraq down the line another psycho leader will take over and turn Iraq back into what it was. Why can't they just come home? Unless they come here, we should stay away, then we have more protection on the homefront anyway.

The invasion of Iraq is due partly the false intelligence that Israel gave the US and the UK. Now, the officials of these countries whoever is going to Iraq stops at Tel Aviv. Why? Is it to recieve instruction on how to further abuse and murder the innocent Iraqis? What advice could Israel give to any reasonable nation?

Your whole paycheck is taken from allotments and negative balances before you can even use your money that you need for necessities and you have to get a second job. You're soon to get out of the Army so they're not going to give you any AER loan, and the check into cash places will not give you money because of your negative drafts, you have nothing of value to sell, Your credit cards are maxed out and they have their hand out wanting money, your in threat of a repossesion of a vehicle, and that's going to be at least $10,000. You want to stick it out so you don't file bankruptcy because you have only the other vehicle and that's your transportation. What would you do?

The US will respond with an urgent quest for "sanctions" Bolton says that if they do test, the next day in North Korea will be completely different. The Big One is going off 60 feet below ground level. The blast could trigger an eartquake. The US is not ready to launch dependable missiles. The whole word waits. All we can hope for is that the missile does not go astray...I imagine.
It looks as though North Korea was not kidding, I'd say.

Okay, about 3 months ago I decided that I would sign up for the military. I had thought about it and thought it would be a great decision! Well I went to MEPS and I signed some papers that said I was suppose to be in there for 6 years as and Operating Room Speacialist, and my ship out date is February 20th! Well I met this one girl who changed her mind after she went to MEPS....but i have asked several people if I can change my mind about going to the military and they say NO! I have only been to MEPS once, AND I have only been sworn in ONCE! I thought you had to sign the final papers and get sworn in the 2nd time in order for it to be "final"! Does anyone know anything about this? Because I know that I could go to college on my own and I don't need the military, because that was one of my main reasons for going into the service....was education!
