Military - December 2006

Among many obvious flaws, one of the Army's flaws is that the PT uniform doesn't have rank on it. People in the Army are supposed to address each other various ways based on their rank (sir, sergeant, first sergeant...) but how can you do that if you don't even know what their rank is? The higher ranking people act like you're supposed to be psychic and just magically know their rank or something. Isn't this a perfect example of how the Army tells its soldiers to do something but pretty much makes it impossible for them to actually do it?

And why?

What are the benefits of the Iraq war? Will it lead to larger conflict? What were the real reason of going to Iraq?

In the movie "Private Ryan", the soldiers lose their mortars but still have the mortar "rounds". They pound the tail of the rounds on the ground to prime it and then throw them like hand grenades. So, what throws a round from a mortar tube? If its something built in to the tail of the mortar round, then those thrown by hand should have been rocketing off as soon as theywere primed by striking them on the ground. If its something in the mortar tube... what might that be? In movies, they set something and then drop the round in the tube. What is the propellant?

funny how the plane that hit the empire state building years ago didnt vaporize, nor did the building collapse. ONE OTHER NOTE OF INTEREST...it's fascinating how the investigation revealing voter fraud in the 2000 election came out the day after 911 (just like the investigation by the house committee on assassinations regarding the kennedy assassination PROVED there to be a conspiracy with the JFK murder came out the week of the "guyana tragedy"...) -- the phrase "mass hoodwinking" comes to mind when i think of americans perception of their own govt.

one can only assume that americans clearly have their head up their sphincter....

I repeatedly see messages from people who say they expect America to have another civil war if things keep going the way they are.

My question is..how would a civil war take place? Not North against South. Things are much different now, and that just isn't going to happen. Republicans against Democrats? Ok, that would be total chaos because there would be no front line due to the politically mixed areas we all live in. it would be more like a Low Intensity Conflict with random acts of violence directed against others who you believed (emphasis on believed) belonged to another political party than you.

Or would it be racial divided?

I know, my question is pretty stupid, but I'm kinda curious how everyone thinks a civil war would go. I don't really care who you think would win or lose, just who would fight who and for what reason.

What can is say..it's winter break and it only cost me 5 points to ask a question :)

Possible this could bring home everyone sooner, rather that beating around the BUSH, go in with unrelenting FORCE and clean house, then leave a few there to help the IRAQI ARMY until they don't need it any more? if we pull out won't we create a breeding ground for Al Queda groups?

I don't mean the War of Independence (there was no real USA then) and I don't mean the Cold War (a major achievement it has to be said but no real military combat) I mean a proper normal war they have won and UN peace keeping doesn't count either.

Gen. Shinseki told Bush and Rumsfeld 4 hundred thousand troops minimum were needed in Iraq, and was fired.
He was right.
Can a serving general disagree and not get fired?

I think it's pretty much a given that we are headed towards the 3rd world war, Do you think the human race will survive as we are today or will it turn into a mad max type world?

some people (like i) can not fight our war over seas

we the american people can still help tho

when we needed our soldiers,they fought for us
and they still are

now they need us
we need to provide for them

we need to send letters
or send carepakages
or somthing

now,my idea

i want to get people to donate to an organization that sends items over to our soldiers

does the red cross send stuff over to them?
thats one thing that i need to no
if they do,how could i find the rite person to talk to about this
i want to get people to just stand infront of stores like price chopper or hanaford or wallmart or anystore like that
i want people to stand there and hand out flyers with a list of possible items to donate and encourage shoppers to purchace items for our soldiers
if 100 people bought one item,thats 100 items that we could send over
maby the red cross could put a red bin or somthing in these stores for people to put the itmes they buy in

any ideas
send some feed back
they need us
