If they aren't dying for our freedom, or to make this country safer, what is going on over there?

I do a lot of traveling for work, and at the airports I often pass military service men and women. I can't help but feel guilty for taking advantage of everyday things that these people are putting their lives on the line for, and I feel I should say something to show my appreciation and support. But I can't ever think of anything to say. Perhaps they would prefer to not be bothered at all. Any suggestions?

Are we being convinced by the powers that be. Are we really at war with terrorists or is this the means by which the American and British government are justifying there conduct in the Middle East. Put bluntly are they just after oil.

1. Should we leave immeadiately and just say 'to heck' with these people, let them figuring it out themselves?
2. Or should we continue our current conventional plan for completing our assistance there with a firm completion date?
3. Should we do something innovative like move all peaceful civilians to safe zones and then eradicate all the radicals quickly so people can return home safely?

Iraq harbored and financed terrorist organizations. Every intelligence agency in the "free" world (dictatorships don't count) said he had WMD's.
The Hussien said publicly on numerous occasions "Death to America"!

Ok now I get how a basic gun works w/ the pistons firing it off, and the force from the bullet winding the bolt back and all of that. But how do bigger/mounted guns work? Like anything bigger than a .50 Cal (I'll just use the 50 as an example).

I know that the trigger lets the bolt loose, it pulls the bullet down through the Chambering Ramp, the forward force makes the piston slide forward and hits the bullets primer; shooting the bullet forward. Then the force from the bullet brings back the bolt and the whole process restarts. So I understand the actual firing. But;

-How does the bullet get to the Cartridge Guide?
-How does the shell get out of the gun? (You always see them coming out onto the ground, what makes them come out of the gun)
-And what exactly does the Operating Rod do? I cant really see a point but it probably has a major role

So three questions; 10 points for 3 answers. Thanks for your time.

This is classic Bush.
No plan yet, just more troops.
More young men in harms way, without a plan for their use. MISSION UNKNOWN.
The generals are again backing off against their best judgement. They know that troops are NOT the answer.
Diplomacy is.
You can't force Iraqis to behave like Americans, if that is what Bush thinks.
God knows what he thinks.
Is this stone cold insane, or what?

All of the feedback I've received about this job has been overwhelmingly negative ("it's a dead-end job"..."you're basically just a paassenger and don't get to fly the plane"..."you make coffee for the pilot"., etc.,)

I've flight physicaled and they say I'm okay to go for a nav slot but they disqualified me for pilot. I failed the depth perception test so laser-eye surgery won't do me the slightest bit of good (what a waste of potential talent for someone with a near-perfect PCSM score).

Furthermore, why does the Air Force (supposedly) continue to have such a high demand for navs if GPS technologies are supposedly making these positions obsolete?

Don't worry, I don't believe everything my recruiter tells me.

That's what Jon Stewart asked. Bush says we're not winning but we're not losing either. So are we covering the spread? I want to know what percent say yes.

Put another way: Does our mission to seek out and kill all terrorists everywhere make us terrorists? Though we abhor the methods of Islamic extremeists, is there any possibility that their greivances may be worthy of investigation and calm analysis?
