This was a bet with a friend. Strictly troop numbers in Europe. Not Pacific or African campaigns.

Throughout the 20th century, many nations have developed powerful weapons of mass destruction. Some people have argued that these weapons need to be increasingly Potent and sophisticated in order to serve their purpose. Others have claimed that the development of these weapons has been misguided and wrong.

It seems that there is no more "Stay the Course" talk anymore? Will Americans acknowledge that this administration has failed in every aspect of government, or will we act like we don't see it? How will this administration go down in history?

Have you sent in your $3500 check yet?

The most conservative estimate is that the war will cost the US $1 trillion. That's almost $3500 per person for the war. I don't care what your reasons are for supporting the war, but if you truly support it, don't you think you should send in a check for your part?

By the way, you haven't already paid for it with taxes. Even without the war in Iraq, the US is spending much more then taxes are generating. So your taxes don't even begin to pay for the war effort.

Or are you a liberal who expects others to pay for your part?

I understand why they need the silly string. My question is why the hell does it need to be donated? Why isn't it supplied? It's simple and cheap. Why is there a need for a drive to donate supplies that the soldiers need to stay alive? That was my question.

Troops have to bolt scrap metal to humvees for armor, troops are being killed and wounded because they don't adequate body armor, and now the army isn't supplying enough silly string to detect mines? In the country leading the world in military spending and spending ginormous amounts of money in Iraq? And somehow it's the people that want to bring the troops home that are accused of not supporting them? Am I missing something or is this truly "bass ackwards."

They should at least bring Rumsfeld back so they can fire him again.

It is said, our soldiers want to stay in Iraq until the job is done. They can't bear being home while their brothers are still in harm's way. Do you believe this? Or is it propoganda from the war machine?

I know that bio Steel armor is based on using a compound similar to that of spider webs and it is being mass produced by causing goats to produce milk containing the same substances. Also, that this advancement is being used currently to coat kevlar making it even stronger and resistant to stab attacks. Many soldiers can tell you that the body armor being used in Iraq is offers inadequate protection and is heavy. Supposedly this Bio Steel Armor is 4 times stronger than kevlar and much lighter. This could save hundreds of lives. When will this be available and how can someone get it?

He wants to join the army to be a "MP". I really feel that is a good choice, but he is a little upset @ me right now because I will not let him sigh papers right now. His B-day is not until Sept. and They are feeding him a bunch of lines (just to get their commision). Another thing is he and his father do not get a long and his dad said you will never make it...which makes him want to do it even more. What (as a mother) should I do? I am scared to death for him. Once you sign you are theirs.

I am not a fan of Rush but he made me think, and he made me mad. and I actually agree with him this time. Here's what he said " I think the vast differences in compensation between victims of the sept. 11th casualty and those who die serving our country in r profound. no one is really talking about it either, because you just dont criticize anything having to do with sept 11th. well, I can't let the numbers pass by because it says something really disturbing about the entitlement mentality of this country. if you lost a family member in the sept.11th attack, you're going to get an average of $1,185.00. the range is a minimum guarantee of $250,000, all the way up to $4.7 million. If you are a surviving family member of an american soldier killed in action, the first check you get is a $6,000 direct death benefit, half of which is taxable. Next you get $1,750 for burial costs. if you are the surviving spouse, you get $833 a month until you remarry. and theres a payment of $211 per

I just read the article about how and why our military troops are using silly string. It's an awesome idea and a really, really great "James Bond" type of way to use the stuff. My question is this: Shouldn't this be Top Secret information??
