For the last 3 years, the US Army and US Marine Corps have been using women in combat in Iraq, due to military necessity - even though, on paper, this is illegal. These women soldiers have proved in action that all the sexist stereotypes that "women aren't suited for combat" are incorrect.

Should the Department of Defense catch up with the reality on the ground, and open combat assignments to women? Or should they continue the hypocracy of assigning women to non combat MOS's, but having them actually fighting?

I've been thinking a lot about the military lately, and most people
say I should try to go in as an officer through ROTC or one of those programs. Yet, I get the impression that officers are more like managers, where as the enlisted men are the ones who are actually the ones doing things. I know this is different for certain jobs, like Civil Affairs, but at the same time, that is one small job, and I've heard from people in ROTC that it can be really difficult to get the specific job you want.
So, for those who have been there and done that, if I'm looking to actually get in there and make a difference (most likely something MI related), then am I better off as an officer or an enlisted man?
I get the impression that MI officers sit behind a desk most of the day, and that would be if I even got MI as my branch after ROTC.
Also, I've been thinking about doing Human Intelligence Collection as an enlisted man.
Within that, would the army teach me Arabic?
Thank you.

I'm guessing that there must be a functional reason for it otherwise the Navy wouldn't have adopted that style but I simply can't figure out what it could be.

I'm so sick of the sectarian violence in Iraq. Its so unnecassary. I say lets withdrawl, and if the Shiites and Sunnis want to blow each other up, fine, let them. I'm done spending American tax money trying to fix that broken country. Let it burn for all I care. Shiites and Sunnis can blow each other up till they're all dead. Who's with me?

I need to write a speach on which theory of International relations best explains the Vietnam war and the events involved. I was thinking that Balance of Power explains it, but I do not really know how, and I needed some help. I also need to talk about how The Iraq War is looking more and more like Vietnam and why. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

..as they were when they were little children, at an age they were being taught that it is right to kill 'those people over there'?
Why don't you love thy enemy instead?

Bush recently compared our war on "terrorism" the equivilent to the war on Nazi Germany-kids were drafted then and were motivated...if Bush is right why wouldn't kids be motivated to fight the war on terrorism if "drafted?"

Just before World War I, there were a number of terrorists attacks on the United States forces in the Phillpines by Muslim extremists. So General Pershing captured 50 terrorists and had them tied to posts for execution. He then had his men bring in two pigs and slaughter them in front of the now horrified terrorists. Muslims detest pork because they believe pigs to be filthy animals. Some of them simply refuse to eat it, while others won't even touch pigs at all, nor any of their by-products. To them, eating or touching a pig, its meat, its blood etc. is to be instantly barred from paradise (and those virgins)and doomed to hell. The soldiers then soaked their bullets in the pigs blood, and proceeded to execute 49 of the terrorists by firing squad. The soldiers then dug a big hole, dumped in the terrorist's bodies and covered them in the pig's blood, entrails, etc. They let the 50th man go. And for the next forty-two years, there was not a single Muslim extremist attack. Maybe it is time for this segment of history to repeat itself! The question is, where do we find another Black Jack Pershing?

Hi,

My former husband was in Iraq several times but I can't remember what we are allowed to send there and I just received an email from my brother who says that his buddy is over there and receives no mail, no packages, no support or kind words from home.

So all of our family and friends want to know, besides letters, what are we allowed to send?

We're gonna flood this guy with love from home! Please help give me ideas of what is acceptable to send.

Like, can we bake anything (recipes would be helpful), can we send magazines like Maxim, Mens Health, etc.

What items would he need the most...socks, snacks, batteries, books, etc.

I cried when I read my brother's note saying that his buddy gets no mail. This kid is over there, far from everyone. It takes 3 weeks to get a pacakge there and I need to go out ASAP today to buy stuff to send him.

Thank you all in advance.

I don't think we have enough troops to constantly maintain current levels in Iraq and Afganistan. Just assume that we only have these two options: redeployment or draft. Which would you rather see?
