Why did George W Bush, current President of USA ask Tony Blair, current Prime Minister of UK to lend him some of the UK's BEST assets to sort his Middle East problems out?

Why Did George W Bush authorise 77% of U.S. troops out of Afghanistan leaving UK and NATO troops dangerously thin on the ground without decent body armour - body armour that will at least stop a small arms bullet from killing a young soldier - to sort his mess out?

Why can't UK troops be issued with proper equipment to get the job completed that the U.S. troops have been withdrawn from?

Specifically in the air force. I see that when you join up at 18, you start as the lowest of the low and a true maggot. This is for any service. Any way, I saw with a bachelor's degree I can become an officer if I get accepted into the Officer's training school. The pay is much higher I believe, and the benefits are amazing.

Are there any pro's to enlisting at 18?

the marine recruiter told me that if u dont meet the weight requirement, that there is something called a weight waiver to let u still enlist. does that go for all the branches in the military, like the navy? can u still go to boot camp even if u dont meet the weight requirement? even if your not fat, you can still lose the weight when u go to boot camp.

If your son/husband/brother etc arrives back in a box with the flag draped over, do you consider it 'just' that he died for our country?

The deal is I was waiting to see what opportunities the Navy and Air Force Reserves offered. In this case, the Navy moved a hell of a lot faster than the Air Force. My paperwork and so forth got approved without issue. Though I told them from the jump I wasn't ready to enlist, my Navy recruiter told me that if I don't decide today, they can no longer guarantee that I will be able to land another IT position. Something about a holiday stand-down coming up.

I had a few reservations about the Reserves, mainly wanting it in writing that I will get my TS clearance. I figure if I join, I might as well get all I can. Anyway, I was told that couldn't be put in writing, because my unit, and not the recruiter would have to handle that.

The impression I got researching it is that it can't be promised, and depends on the sensitivity of the material you'll be working with.

That aside, I just wanted to hold out until I found out what the AF could offer then compare the two.

Opinions?

Odd question I know, but I read something that said:

Recently Marines in Iraq wrote to Starbucks because they wanted to let them know how much they liked their coffees and to request that they send some of it to the troops there.

Starbucks replied, telling the Marines thank you for their support of their business, but that Starbucks does not support the war, nor anyone in it, and that they would not send the troops their brand of coffee.

For all my military members or spouses out there. Have you (or your spouse) done a tour in Iraq or one of the middle east hot spots? In your opinion are we doing good over there?

Now for the ones who have not done a tour, would you go over there? Yes or No explain why?

As a teen-ager in high school, I remember teachers providing extra credit to those of us to chose to write to military personal serving in Desert Storm. Today as an adult, with the holidays approaching I want to do something for our troops stationed overseas. I know how much receiving letters, notes, and cards in the mail means to me. I would like to do this for our service men and women. If anyone has any ideas how I should go about this please let me know. Thanks for all of your help.
