The military knows why they are in Iraq. How come the Democrats don't?

I just enlisted in the US navy as a Mine Man. Then I saw an article written in 1999 saying that female mine men can't work on ship. I joined the navy to see the world. I would like to know if I am going to be able to do so.

Last March, the federal government set up a Web site to make public a vast archive of Iraqi documents captured during the war. The Bush administration did so under pressure from Congressional Republicans who said they hoped to "leverage the Internet" to find new evidence of the prewar dangers posed by Saddam Hussein.

But in recent weeks, the site has posted some documents that weapons experts say are a danger themselves: detailed accounts of Iraq's secret nuclear research before the 1991 Persian Gulf war. The documents, the experts say, constitute a basic guide to building an atom bomb.

Two things to know before you read below: Marines are taught 1) Keep your priorities in order and 2) Know when to act without hesitation.
A Marine was attending a college course between missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. The professor, an avowed atheist, shocked the class one day when he walked in, looked toward the ceiling, and said loudly, "God, if you are real, then I wants you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly 15 minutes."
The lecture room fell silent and the professor began his lecture. Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, "Here I am God - still waiting."
It got down to the last minute when the Marine stood up, walked toward the professor and threw his best punch knocking him off the platform and out cold. The Marine went back to his seat and sat down.
The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there looking on in silence. The professor came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, "What the hell is the matter with you? Why did you do that?"
The Marine calmly replied, "God is busy today protecting America's soldiers who are protecting your right to behave like an idiot and say stupid stuff. So He sent me

Three guys -- a Canadian farmer, Osama bin Laden, and an American engineer are walking together one day. They come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it.

"I will give each of you one wish, which is three wishes total” says the Genie.

The Canadian says, "I am a farmer, my dad was a farmer, and my son will also farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada." Polo!

With a blink of the Genie's eye, the land in Canada was forever made fertile for farming.

Osama bin Laden was amazed, so he said, "I want a wall around Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran so that no infidels, Jews or Americans can EVER come into our precious state."

Polo! Again, with the blink of the Genie's eye, there was a huge wall around those countries...

The American engineer asks, "I am very curious. Please tell me more about this wall".

The Genie explains, "Well, its 5000 feet high, 500 feet thick and completely surrounds these countries........ It’s virtually
impenetrable. Now what is your wish?"

The American engineer smiles and says, "Fill it with water."

"Yesterday, on CNN, House Majority Leader John Boehner blamed the US military for losing the war in Iraq:

House Majority Leader John Boehner: Wolf, I understand that, but let's not blame what's happening in Iraq on Rumsfeld.

http://www.alternet.org/blogs/peek/43812/

Wolf Blitzer: But he's in charge of the military.

House Majority Leader John Boehner: But the fact is the generals on the ground are in charge and he works closely with them and the president. [CNN, 11/1/06]

Given an opportunity to take back that comment, Boehner elected instead to stay the course."

Didn't Rumsfeld and his team decide NOT to listen to the US Generals? Aren't the Generals upset about that?

Here's mine:
In AIT a guy was always playing practical jokes, and we had had enough. So, we got his roommate to tell us when he was taking a dump. We crept in to the room, opened the bathroom door suddenly, and sprayed him with the fire extinguisher. I snapped a photo, which I still have.

The expression on his face, as the white clouds from the extinguisher billow towards him and he's on the pot with his pants around his ankles, makes me laugh to this day. Oh, ya we did get in trouble, but not much, and it was definitely worth it.

Tell me a funny story of yours.....

Is it as hard in the actual military as it was in the movie A Few Good Men, to accuse or punish a high ranking officer in the military for wrong doing? In the movie Tom Cruise didnt even want to put him on the stand and when he did even the Judge warned him about it. Why is that? Or is it just in the movies?

John Kerry told a group of college students this week that people who don't study and do their homework were likely to "get stuck in Iraq."

I know when I was in high school, a good number of the kids who had done too poorly in high school to expect to have success elsewhere went into the military.

(To go even further, the Bush administrategery can laugh this off all they want, because they will never be able to figure out how the message should have been spelled.)
Members of the military in Iraq held up the following... "Halp us Jon Carry -- We R stuck hear n Irak."

That is a far cry from raising the US flag atop soil of Iwo Jima.

When a war means something, our troops respond accordingly. When a war is a joke, our troops respond with a joke... at least I hope their misspellings were meant in jest. Either way, Kerry was right.
