Military - December 2006

I was seven months old when Pearl Harbor was attacked. My earliest memories are of World War II, but I was too little to understand much about it.

I believe our response to the attack was the right one, and am proud of the U.S. role in World War II, but I don't hate the Japanese or Germans. In fact, I love the wonderful Japanese people and I am of German descent.

I remember going to the store with my mom or aunt and them not being able to get coffee because there was none available, and the storekeeper saying "you know there's a war on." But I didn't really know what that meant.

Do you think the quality of life for the ordinary citizens of Iraq has improved since the Allies first started bombing, invading and occupying their country ?

It is ridiculous. I don't care about your position on Iraq, but since I stated it, naturally it will be mentioned in all of your answers. Kill this f*cker.

What kind of sick mind is that. They give myriad excuses for all that wasted money, but think a $10 tax is too much if it goes toward someone who needs $9, but got the $10.
How can these people not see how selfish and paradoxical it is?

Relentless Resistance attacks drive US forces out of Hit.
In a dispatch posted at 11:39am Makkah time Wednesday morning, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the repeated blows being delivered by the Iraqi Resistance have forced the US occupation forces to withdraw their forces from the city of Hit, about 165km northwest of Baghdad.
The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported eyewitnesses in Hit as saying that US forces began their pull out on Tuesday, evacuating one of their headquarters in the city after it had come under repeated attacks.
Witnesses reported that the US occupation forces pulled vehicles and equipment out of the Hit railroad station but had not yet completely evacuated that position.
Sources in the Iraqi puppet army told Mafkarat al-Islam that the Americans do intend to withdraw completely from Hit, handing their facilities in the city over to the Iraqi puppet army.

My step brother is shipping off to the Marines on Monday. He's going to boot camp in San Diego. We're having a good-bye dinner for him on Sunday night. What present would be good for him? (What would be practical? Something you wouldn't think of but that would really help him.)

My hands are tied.
For all I've seen has changed my mind, still these wars go on with brainwashed pride, for "The love of God, and our human rights" Well, all these things are swept aside by the bloodied hands of the hyptnotized, who carry the cross of homicide.

How many more days until he or she comes home? I have 302 very long agonizing days left! Everyday I miss him more and more and I will not be able to really breathe until he gets home! He is the air that I breathe, he keeps me alive. But there is light at the end of the tunnel!

I meet my bf online and we’ve known each other for 1 yr & 8 months. He called me everyday and sending email twice a week before taking a class in college. He’s working as a Master Sergeant in Air Force, base in Japan. He told me from the very start of our relationship that I have to be patient all the time because of his nature of work. Working in the military is not easy for him and he wants me to understand his situation.

I was started to get worried although he informed me early that he is gonna take a 2 night classes in college, at the same time working 72 hours a week, in charge of an investigation of squadron and he got only sleep for 4 to 5 hours every night. Since I don't get any phone calls and emails from him. I'm worried about him I was the one making my effort to give him a long distance call but still I cannot contact him. I got his cell/home/base # but it keep on ringing so many time. When I call him at home no one's answer because he put on silent mode and don't want

My BF will be at one of these camps for 12 months since next March. He's a logistics officer and mainly will train the Iraqis.

Are these camps located in a safe area? How dangerous is his work? How often will we be able to communicate?

Thanks!

I am looking for a consolidation loan. Ever since my husband left I have been having trouble with the bills. Not that I don't have enough money to pay them but there are so many sometimes I forget. I just think it would be easier to have be able to narrow it down some. Instead of paying 20 different bills a month I could pay 10 that would make my life so much easier.

The Iraq study Group Report has stated that after 2,900 US Military deaths.

21,000 US Military injuries

some 60,000 enemy combatants killed or captured.

And over 100,000 Iraqi civilian deaths, the US is "not winnning the war in Iraq".

Do you believe that the President will finally man up for once and take this report seriously, and do you think it will make a difference in the Iraq war.

I want to PCS sooner than my arrival date to Ft Lewis is august10 please help. I'm on rear detachment in a stopped loss unit and our unit is due back on January, but the stop loss is over on June 1st (I know most stop loss last for three months after re-deployment). I'd like to leave sooner than before the stop loss is over but any thing before august. would be great. The reason for wanting to leave so badly is my wife is pregnant and her due date is May 4th. We already have one toddler; it just would be so much simpler to move across country with just one baby. Plus, we're all really tired of Ft Drum, after 3 years of being here we're very stir crazy. All still not enough reason for leaving early in colonel’s eyes. Thanks
