Military - November 2006

There seem to be so many young men and women on this site that want everybody to support the troops , and win the war, etc etc. why don't they just all enlist and go win the war?
if you are unfit for duty OK. but otherwise you should be over there helping out instead of just running your mouth like bush and all his other cowardly friends who never looked down a rifle barrel from the wrong end.( like CHENEY)

It became a stated objective in World War 2 to deliberately bomb civilians. British Bomber Command made a deliberate effort to target German civilian population centers, bombing them out of their homes, bombing them out of their jobs, bombing them to kill them and demoralize them. The idea was that if the lives of the civilian population could be made horrific enough, if the civilians were to lose their homes, their jobs, their loved ones, and end up with nothing but the clothes on their backs and no place to live, they would rise up against the war and demand that the government stop the fighting. Some cities, like Dresden, were totally reduced to smoking rubble; nothing was spared. In the intervening years the horror of all this was determined to be excessive and the targeting of civilians in time of war was deemed a crime of war.

Just read a story of AWOL soldier in Canada who wants to come home but bad old uncle sam will send him to Iraq if he returns. What kind of military does the deserter think we have ? If the soldiers dictate when they will do their jobs what's the point of having a standing army ?

We are constantly being bombarded by media reports of "2 dead". "16 dead". "60 dead"."Mass graves being found" "Total of over 650,000 dead etc

Why is it that the order to release a neutron bomb - even though it may kill 500,000 in a single day - has not been given after a 48hr Notice to Leave the area is issued?

Yes there will be mega media coverage. Yes there may be outrage.

However, this constant daily depressive media reporting will not churn up divided loyalties - which in a time of conflict should be united behind each and everyone of our Troops.

Bullies need to be dealt with. Terrorists need to be dealt with in the only way they understand - and our Troops are well trained to be the ones to deal with them !

Tying our Troops hands behind thier backs to comply with "rules of engagement" HAS to be more flexible to deal with terrorists. - who have NO rules book !

So we worry about dirty bombs and nuclear bombs getting in the hands of terrorists, but at the same time send tanks loaded with depleted uranium shielding into iraq.

At the time we first sent them our viewpoint was the armour was so tough (due to the depleted uranium) that it would be a rare event to lose one. We had no idea that the IED's would be so big, that we are losing tanks like everything else.

I read on wiki that depleted uranium is use as a neutron reflector in making nuclear weapons. So, are we helping our enemy?

Are you sure the middle east will ever be 'democratized'? If yes what kind of democracy do you think will strive there?
I know for sure that Islam is not totally against democarcy but most moslem states do by nature of their culture not Religion.
My question is are we going to win this war, and if we win will that change the dynamic in the region what is your take on this?

maybe it happened once in a while, but far more likely to get spit at were the patriotic americans who opposed that illegal war and stuck their necks out demonstrating against it. Of course, you can't compare getting shot at in vietnam with getting beaten up by riot police in chicago, and those soldiers were very brave and not appreciated, but that's not the fault of the people who were demonstrating to bring them home. So quit with the lies about how badly vets were treated when they came home. it's simply not true.

OH my goodness....So I just asked a question a few minutes ago in this same catagory, but due to one of the answers now I need to get this out there.......Did you know that many soldiers join the military right out of high school...as young as 17 and 18 years old? Some popular reasons are because they see it as the only way they can get money for college....or the only way they can get out and see the world.....or because they see it as a way to make a life for themselves (i.e. steady pay (you can't get fired), affordable health insurance, a constant roof over their head)....these people didn't know that Sept.11th would happen. They were just as shocked as everyone else! Yes, they knew they may have to go to war...but not for such a contradictory cause....now many of them aren't aloud to get out until the govt. says they can....the only alternative is JAIL....so did you already know that?

WTF is up with that? Please help me understand....and this is coming from a wife of a soldier with whom I did not get to see for TWO YEARS because he was over there....and my little brother was over there, too! Aren't you glad that they are over there instead of YOU? Don't people understand that if it weren't for men and women volunteering to be in the military, that there would be a DRAFT? I garantee if there were a draft....many people would be running to Canada and Mexico! So aren't they glad they don't have to do that??

I have the utmost respect for our armed services and salute them for their efforts and dedication to maintaining the liberties many of us take for granted. My question is this: as a current or former military personel soldier or officer, what are your personal thoughts on our occupation of Iraq? Do you think the US Military is helping the situation or do you think we have made it worse? Do feel that you have adequately been provided with the tools you need to do your job or il-equiped? Please no attacks. I simply would like to hear your personal experiences and beliefs. Thank you.
