Political parties aside...what is the biggest factor keeping us from winning the war in Iraq?

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AuD3FtmhueYRFBrDJPARIjzzy6IX?qid=20061116055114AAWRrVe

in that meeting it was stated that more troops were Not needed
then they said yes more american troops were needed for training the Iraqi army...doubled
does this mean we are in a stalemate and we only have two ways to go.....#1 either draft our own ppl or theirs........or.......cut and run?
please leave out the party slant

btw when Sen. John McCain asked "How can we spare more men on the ground to go into training the Iraqi's when they just had a kidnapping of 150 plus ppl in broad open daylight?" The general just said that would be solved as a long term effect of better training of the Iraqi's

Can an army commader give a lawful order to tell a soldier they have to get rid of their animals. MCM says no

Is it a lawful order that a soldier has to obey when the commander tells the soldier he must get rid of his pets. What I have read under UCMJ for Manual Of Courtmartials a lawful order has to be related to military duty. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did anyone realise marriage pay in the military is not protect?

It has come to my attention that is the Army chooses to punish the soldier for article 15 ect...they can keep the marriage pay without any notice. I strongly recommend you contact your state representives, congress, White House ect to help protect the marriage pay. Families should not be punished. That money while not a large amount can provide food ect for the children. No family should go thru that stress and financial hardship. Families of soldiers should have a certain amount of security. While the army can punish the soldier they should not punish the family. I"m certain this applies to all military groups. Thankyou

The estimate is we have 4 -6 months to " get it right" in Iraq, before its too late to maintain control ?

Is this overly optimistic ? I am all for a bi partisan approach to achieving the best possible outcome. Either way I fear we may be there in some fashion for the next 20 years. Does anyone think we can " get it right"? House and Senate was a tad hard on the generals yesterday.

Unions within the Military of the US?

Where I live, there are many Unions for militarily employed persons- the largest being the Officers Union, who if they feel that the pay is not reflecting the risk, might boycott missions abroad and such.

Why isn't there- or is there?- a Union of American soldiers that watch out for their rights and make sure they get everything they are entitled for economically, in healthcare and in education? As well as working on improving soldiers' rights?

It is true, that soldiers aren't allowed to express themselves politically in public, however, certainly they should have a right to a strong union?

How does someone refuse an Article 15?

If someone is offered nonjudicial punishment under Article 15 and it includes extra duty he doesn't want to do, what steps can he take? For example, how long does he have to decide whether or not to accept the Article 15? If he chooses to exercise his right to a court martial, does is it true he still has to do the extra duty in the mean time? Does he have the right to legal council before deciding whether or not to accept the Article 15?

What is the strongest non-nuclear cruise missile and bomb? Also about some weapons' approx. blast radius...?

What is the strongest cruise missile that is currently in use?
I checked wiki (though I admit not very throughly) and I could only find 3 cruise missile types currently deployed by the US (which I assume is the country using the strongest ones): AGM-86, BGM-109 Tomahawk and AGM-84.
Since AGM-84 is an anti-ship missile it is really out of the question.

Also I want to know about the strongest non-mass destruction bomb that is currently in use... please exclude cluster bomb as it focuses on blast radius more instead of firepower... this one I did not ckeck because I had no idea where to start from, sorry for me being lazy :(

As for the last question, what is the approx. blast radius of some of the missiles/bombs (also some of the most often used?)from the previous questions? Just a rough estimation is fine enough.

If I want to destroy an area that is about the size of a high school building(completely),is Harpoon strong enough or does it require a Tomahawk?

Thanks,

Should we bring all our troops home from all over the globe, and with the money we save, make our country?

the best in the world?
This question is for anyone, in any country who also thinks we are p!sssing in the wind, and getting no thanks for anything we do.

Lets put every Pound, Dollar, etc back into making our countries the best in the world.

And put two fingers up to all those who we have tried to help in the past, the same people who blow our troops up while their backs are turned.
