Military - November 2006

Most voters polled say they want the troops out of Iraq......Wonder how those people that voted for the democrats to accomplish that feel about the draft coming back????? Now that the democrats have the majority they can over ride a Bush veto .....(remember him the one person that said he would not sign a draft into law)???
At least the democrats can be happy about their majority now!!!

U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel (the incoming chairman of the House of Representatives' tax-writing committee, said he would introduce legislation to reinstate the draft as soon as the new, Democratic-controlled Congress convenes in January.

Asked on CBS' "Face the Nation" if he was still serious about the proposal for a universal draft he raised a couple of years ago, he said, "You bet your life. Underscore serious."

"I don't see how anyone can support the war and not support the draft. I think to do so is hypocritical," Rangel said.

back nov11th(last year) I left the military on a chap10? I dont have the paperwork....but it was because of some stupid fire in the barracks. no other problems. basic training certificate, AIT, I even have some certificates(like Combat Medic) that I got at my duty station.
I've always wanted to go back in, and I tried back in August but I totally f- it up. I went in, and they thought I never been in. I went with it, and when they found out they totally didnt give a hoot.
I didn't mean to lie, it just happened, and I dont mind going back through basic or AIT, really I dont care, I just dont want to be where I am now.
When I go in to see a recruiter, what should I say? I know what to bring, but I just want to know why are they being so evil to me when it wasnt even my fault.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061119/ap_on_re_mi_ea/britain_iraq_kissinger Kissinger presented a bleak vision of Iraq, saying the U.S. government must enter into dialogue with Iraq's regional neighbors — including Iran — if progress is to be made in the region.

"If you mean by 'military victory' an Iraqi government that can be established and whose writ runs across the whole country, that gets the civil war under control and sectarian violence under control in a time period that the political processes of the democracies will support, I don't believe that is possible," he told the British Broadcasting Corp."

I think if we had any chance of a victory by military means, it had to be right after we invaded and occupied Iraq. Not years later.
This is what happens when unqualified ideologues are running things. ... I used Mr Kissinger's quote since he is advising the Bush Admin. I don't think he had that much credibility after Vietnam however. Still, an interesting assessment.

It's really starting to get on my nerves. On Y!A and even in "real life" I see people daily who claim to have been over there. Why on earth would someone feel the need to lie about such a thing?

It also beats me why people (who have been over there) go around thinking they don’t need to do anything or should be treated like a king. Does anyone else know?

My husband has been over there once and will be going back in a month. He is humble and grateful for what he has done but in no means wants people to treat him like some sort of king or any differently then another person they meet. My father is the same way and he was in Desert Storm and my grandfather who was in Vietnam. Isn’t the whole point of being a great solider to do your duty, be humble, and grateful but not to expect such shock? I don't know why but I get offended when people use this as an excuse or lie about it--it's almost like they take the honor out of serving the country.

Americans' approval of Bush's Iraq policy drops to lowest level yet

The Associated PressPublished: November 17, 2006


WASHINGTON: Americans' approval of President George W. Bush's handling of Iraq has dropped to the lowest level ever, increasing the pressure on the commander in chief to find a way out after nearly four years of war.

The latest Associated Press-Ipsos poll found just 31 percent approval on his handling of Iraq, days after voters registered their displeasure at the polls by defeating Republicans across the board and handing control of Congress to the Democrats. The previous low in AP-Ipsos polling was 33 percent in both June and August.

Erosion of support for Bush's Iraq policy was most pronounced among conservatives and Republican men — critical supporters who propelled Bush to the White House...

Troop `surge' last hope for Bush?
U.S. president faces calls to flood Iraq with forces

May be chance to claim he brought stability to nation
Nov. 18, 2006. 04:34 AM
TIM HARPER
WASHINGTON BUREAU


WASHINGTON—In a country convulsed with the search for a way out of Iraq, a new buzzword is suddenly competing with the clamour for phased withdrawals, strategic redeployments and drawdowns.

Surge.

It may seem counterintuitive, but there are calls — including one from the man who could be the next U.S. president — to flood Iraq with thousands more American troops, a so-called surge, in one last bid to win a war that looks more and more unwinnable.

Such a short-term surge of troops could be the last gasp for U.S. President George W. Bush to claim he at least brought stability to Iraq, enough stability to declare victory, get out of the country with some honour and close the history books on a mission which fell far short of his lofty goal of exporting democracy to the Middle East.

Associated Press Writer

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) - President Bush sought Chinese President Hu Jintao's help on dual fronts Sunday, aiming to rein in North Korea's nuclear ambitions and encourage the Chinese people to buy more U.S. goods.

Capping a three-day stay in Vietnam's capital, Bush also asked for help from Moscow in the North Korea nuclear dispute and celebrated a deal allowing Russia to join the World Trade Organization.

Another D-day type senario? Could it ever happen again? Or will we just sit back and volley bombs from far away? I'm curious about the possibilities of what action we'd take to a serious enemy...not like Iraq, where the organized army fell in days.(thx to marines and the army).
