Military - December 2006

I just want to know what the Americans think abut the War on Terror.The war in afghanisthan was justified ,and seen by the world as a "tit for tat "answer to the Al Queda,but Iraq?...simply doesnt make sence!!!...
Iraq was far safer place with Saddam at the helm than americans occupying it....now it is the breeding ground for terrorism...
.One more thing have anyone ever thought how these incidents would come to haunt you one day...
Years back in the early 90s the americans supported the Afghani fighters to bring down the Russians...have you ever thought had Russia still been there the whole alqueda would have been their damn head ache!!!!
What was the need for all this. So many dead,,,American, Iraqis, englishmen....all for what?
I am not a anti-American person...i respect and admire the american for so many othr things..
I jsut want to know what the general public in america think about this

DOes this confirm that the French are just a bunch of Sissy Cowards or what? I don't think that they have contributed much here anyway? Supposedly they are leaving the French Special Forces, but I think that those guys could not beat Cub Scouts in a fight.

Does the war in Iraq bring back memories of boring history lessons of the revolutionary war. A strong empire with there fancy red coats and well trained soldiers. The super power of the 18th century lost that war and it was the birth of a new super power the United States of America. It has been said that history repeats it self and it hard to shake this feeling of deadly déjà vu. Our pride and over confidence will surely be our downfall and though we may not wear red coat our methods may be just as obvious to men and women in the middle east that are not held by tradition and policy. It is ignorant to attempt to combat an Idea like terrorism and this war on terrorism is doomed to fail. Terrorism hides behind rocks and trees and kills our soldiers and civilians without warning. One day Iraqi children will dose off in class as there teacher lectures on about the ignorance of a country that was blinded by its power so badly that they couldn’t see that they were quickly becoming the punch line to political jokes. It is time to get out this. It is not a war that can be won. I don’t believe anyone really learns from history but if they if our leaders were smart enough to look back across the sands of time they would realize that this is not our fight. The fight in the middle east is not one that America needs to police. It is not our problem. We don’t understand the determination that comes with faith. Because we have traded ours for plasma TVs and SUVs and WMDs. What is the answer now that we were lead blindly into a fight we can not win. Suck it up and admit that we have lost. Fold the losing hand and cut our loses. Then spend the remainder of our chip stack on defending ourselves. Because after the bully takes a punch in the face every pimple faced wimp wants a piece of him. It will come but if fight until we cant fight anymore we will surely be destroyed

I wanted to share this, it's not a question, so don't report me. This is the end of a beautiful poem about a civilian and a soldier on Christmas Eve. Just something to make you think, and a small thank you for our servicemen and women and their loved ones who will be spending this holiday apart. Thank you for keeping America safe.

"But isn't there something I can do, at the least,

"Give you money," I asked, "or prepare you a feast?

It seems all too little for all that you've done,

For being away from your wife and your son."

Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,

"Just tell us you love us, and never forget.

To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone,

To stand your own watch, no matter how long.

For when we come home, either standing or dead,

To know you remember we fought and we bled.

Is payment enough, and with that we will trust,

That we mattered to you as you mattered to us."

According to a Newsweek Article, on msnbc.com, Iraq's Economy is doing extremely well, despite the ongoing sectarian struggles. Do you think if the upward economy continues to grow, as it has, that there is some chance for reconciliation in the country, some chance for peace? Can a vastly improved economy help end the Sectarian violence? Will it even be reported that there are positive things happening in Iraq?

One of my stories I am working on and have been trying to research is a civil war turned world war (well nearly) inside Russia and some of its former republics.

In order to help defend parts of the government held areas, the US needs to put in temporary runways. These would be in isolated regions of Siberia.

Someone once told me there was a way to do so, without concrete, hangers (well at least big ones) and control towers.

It deals with something that looks liek winter tire chains. Supposedly its laid down on any kind of ground and can handle most air traffic.

Is this real? can it be used in frozen lands like Siberia?

If its not, can anyone suggest a better way? I dont know if there are many airports out there.

I have a question for anyone who could answer it.

On a couple of movies: Under Seige, and the tv show 24 they make references to missiles and F-18's.

in Under Seige a f-18 is used to knock a nuclear cruise missle out before it can strike Honolulu.

In 24 they mention the f18 being the only chance to do the same to another nuclear missile.

Both cases seem to be a cruise missile. the 24 reference puts the missile speed at 600 mph.

Can a f18 keep speed with and possible stop such a missile?

I believe the Demoquits would side with the enemy as usual since I've been listeneing to events over my adult life. Sometimes you wonder if a Democrat were in the line of fire - and an American soldier was on one side and the enemy on the other - to whom would he run for cover? Not considering the garbage they say about our military.

When you see an army recruiter you'll allowed to take a practice test that supposed to be similar to the one you're given after you sign up to determine your place in the military. Has anyone taken both and could you tell me how similar they are? I took the practice exam and got over 90% of the questions right but it seems very easy to me. I suspect it was a just a confidence builder designed to get excited about joining.

I also took the Navy test with similar results.

Can someone tell me if the real placement tests are similar to the "practice" tests at the recruiters' offices?
