Military - November 2006

I'm sorry if this seems like a stupid question--I'm really asking in earnest.

Do you have to wear your uniform to the Marine Corps birthday ball? Could an active duty male Marine wear a tuxedo or something similarly formal? Could a female Marine wear a ball gown?

I'm not saying they'd necessarily want to, but could they if they did want to?

I caught this video footage, in this music video, and was lead to wonder if those people down there, being shot at, are really enemy insurgents. I guess one could conclude, if they are out at night, they are up to no good, but then I like to do much of my work at night.

See Music Video: Time = 1:10 through 1:35.

I realize it is a tough job, but if you could give me some insight as to what is really happening, I would appreciate it.

Thanks...

Other than holding a march or staging a rally or signing a pettition and researching who we vote for, how can we help end this war. Are there any other serious ideas out there?
I dont want to hear from those who say the war is good when soldiers are dying everyday or coming home in such bad health they want to die. And thousands of innocent Iraqis are getting killed on the streets in Iraq.
What can we do??????

We lost Korea, We lost Vietnam, We ran when 241 Marines were killed in the middle east in Oct 83, We kill innocent people in Iraq, We started a war in Iraq and Iraq did not do 9-11. Again I say I am ashamed I served.

My husband was in the Marines for 4 yrs. He was inactive reserve for 4 yrs. He has been active duty Army for 18 months. PSB gave him credit for 8 yrs of service when he came into the Army. He re-enlisted last week and was told his bonus was smaller due to be a "long term" service member. This week when his LES became available for viewing I noticed that his base pay was not what it usually is. He is in Iraq so when he called I told him to check on his pay. He was told by finance that his time in service had been done incorrectly by PSB here at Ft Bragg and that he now only has credit for 5 yrs of service and his pay was being adjusted accordingly. They also said that they were giving him 8 yrs of credit in relation to his retirement, but not in relation to figuring his pay. Can they take away yrs of credit after almost 18 mos. now in the Army? Should he now be eligible for a larger bonus? We have to repay the money he was paid in error (@ a rate of $850/mo!). What can I do?

Iraq is engulfed in waves of sectarian bloodletting and this " cake walk" threatens even the Iraqi government itsself. Do we really have any kind of a military solution ? Whom does Bush blame for this, the " liberal " media ?

I cannot decide whether I should:

1) Go to Iraq and kiss a IED and become more Bush "cannon fodder".

2) Jump into the nearest bombed building as it is falling.

3) Walk into the nearest California wildfire.

What ever happened to simply falling on the nearest grenade?

I am just curious. I met someone today who said that if her son was drafted, she would make him leave the country.

Thank God there is no draft.
