I was not refering to two weeks employment. A Military retiree with 20 (some cases more) years. Military members are under contract for a specified amount of time. Retirement benefits are a part of the package.

Based on the reality of the way Bush has shredded our constitution by, in ONE swipe of the pen, Bush's Military Tribunal Commission law has removed Habeas Corpus as a Constitutional Right for ALL citizens of the USA. And he did remove that right. If you read the actual words of the MTC law, you'll see that a person is in fact, "any person." That "any person" could be you, me or your wife, son, daughter, GRANDMOTHER, etc.

Our constitution has been shredded and I see a war coming and I see the United Nations enforcing it's own brand of law on the USA. And I believe it is and has been the plan for a very long time.

What are your thoughts?

Is it true that with the U.S army, in order to get in, all you have to do is sign up and then take a medical exam and then if you pass that, they have you?

Will US go all the way with Ethiopia in Somalia?

Will they realize that now is the right time to deal with Iran and North Korea?

Will they hit any country who will coddle Osama Bin Laden like it did in Afghanistan?

Will they act on mere excuse of presence of WMD? In Syria for example?

WIl it take side in the event of an India-Pakistani nuclear exchange?

Is there any places or programs that I can get in touch with to send my care package overseas for little or no cost. Don't get me wrong I LOVE sending care packages, as I send quite a few, but by the time I spend $25-30 on a package I really hate having to pay almost the same amount to ship it. Is there any easier, cheaper way?

Does that have an extremely unpatriotic ring to it? Why weren't those troops helping with policing missions here at home in the first place?

the us military is most powerful on earth.but while their air force and navy are overwhelming their army and marines are not.hypothetically could the us military fight and defeat a combination of china,russia and france and still win-without calling in help from britain and israel.

From a USA Today study of government debt:

"Americans' government obligations are five times what people owe for

mortgages, car loans, credit cards and other personal debt. The $57.8 trillion liability is the amount that government needs now, stashed away and earning interest, to generate enough cash to pay future obligations. The obligations are valued in today's dollars and come due as early as in a few days, when Treasury bills mature, to as long as 75 years for Social Security and Medicare.

"Like an unpaid credit card bill, the balance grows every year - about $25,000 per household annually.

"Taxpayer liabilities grew 20% in the past two years, 13% above the inflation rate.

"What's behind the increase:

"Medicare. The health care program for the elderly saw its long-term deficit grow $4.5 trillion from 2004. The causes: higher medical costs and an aging population. Not a factor: the new Medicare prescription drug benefit. It was included in the 2004 number.

"Social Security. The program's deficit for workers and beneficiaries already in the system grew $2.5 trillion over two years. Reason: Each generation gets benefits greater than the last, so the program automatically gets more out of balance every year.

"Government retirement benefits. Pension and retiree medical benefits for civil servants and military personnel are more generous than those for private-sector workers. But government has not set aside as much money as private companies to pay the costs."

The Law of Limp tells us why debts are doomed to grow to such proportions. Like the Fed, the feds flew into temptation…and limped back to sanity only reluctantly, hesitantly and partially. They were quick to loosen the purse strings and slow to tighten them. Deficits were many; surpluses were few. The red numbers burgeoned; the black ones shrank. The feds ran over the budget to counteract the downturns in the business cycle, but they forgot to run under the budget to counteract the upturns. And so, the debt mounted up.

During the administration of George W. Bush alone, more debt has been added than during all the administrations put together since that of George Washington.

But wait a minute, you may be thinking, "Isn't there a war on? Isn't that the real reason debts have exploded? And doesn't it make sense to pay the costs of fighting a war - no matter how great they may be - so that future generations may live in liberty?"

We have two answers to this: "no" and "it depends."

Up to now, M1A1 Abrams is the jewel of US Army's main battle tank. It reportedly has alloys that can defeat modern anti-tank ordnance thrown its way.

But in the IRAQ & Afghan war, from news excerpts, the enemy was able to knock-out Abrams with mere RPGs and Molotov?

When Agent Orange was employed during the Vietnam war, its specific mission was to defoliate the jungles and deny the VC's cover.

DuPont experts claims no vegetation in the affected areas will ever grow for the next thousand years.

>>>Fast forward today>>>

According to my Vietnamese friends-sources, the areas where it was sprayed are now lush with vegetation contrary to Agent Orange's expected result.

Good for the environment, so DuPoint made false claims then?
