I wasn't alive when it happened, I don't know anything about it and don't know anyone who was in it either. What does my dream mean?

I know they are all deceased.But the government has no provisions for wreaths,markers,memorials-nothing.Yet you see U.S. officials attending solemn services for German war dead,Japenese,pardon me Japanese{I wouldn't want to offend any of the federal governments former enemies by spelling their name incorrectly} who died in nuclear {or nuculer} attacks.George bush in vietnam{better late then never} uWhy not forgive your own citizens,and their decendents?Even Abe Lincoln said,after being asked to set the tone for reconstruction:"I'd let them up easy" or Robert E. Lee:Now ya'll go home and become good Americans.So how about it,Should the fedaral government & the Veterans administration forgive and forget?They always accuse the southerners of keeping the rebellion alive,-how about them?Should they recognize these brave soldiers who lost their life &limb fighting for their states rights ?

I don't see how adding 30,000 troops, or even 300,000, can ever stop the two tribes from hating and killing each other. Their conflicts start a thousand years ago and will last for another thousand years.

Right now they are fighting against each other, but I am afraid that eventually one day they will want to form an allignment to eliminate all foreign troops on their land first, and then go back to their own problems.

Maybe that's when Bush claims the victory?!

My husband is home from iraq i think he has PTSD He won't seek help. He blames me for not being nice to him 24/7 though i try not to raise my voice anytime. i finally got fed up when he started doing the whole yelling in my face, and pinned me to floor and start doing all those military moves of bending wrists and arms in positions and pressure points to cause pain & harm me then wonders why i try to hit him off me, Hello it hurts. So i sought help through the Army Family Advocate program, and he thinks i'm jacking up his career cause i want him to seek help. And if he won't they'll do something about it. Did i cross the line taking it to his superiors, or was it okay to reach out for help.

A friend told me that on January 3rd, when Congress has their next session, that 3 other Congressmen are going to ask the rest to reinstate the Draft. Is this true? And if so how long would it be before anyone was actually Drafted?

After appearing only seven weeks ago on the Internet, the Appeal for Redress, brainchild of 29-year-old Navy seaman Jonathan Hutto, has already been signed by nearly 1,000 US soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen, including dozens of officers--most of whom are on active duty. Not since 1969, when some 1,300 active-duty military personnel signed an open letter in the New York Times opposing the war in Vietnam, has there been such a dramatic barometer of rising military dissent.

Interviews with two dozen signers of the Appeal reveal a mix of motives for opposing the war: ideological, practical, strategic and moral. But all those interviewed agree that it is time to start withdrawing the troops. Coming from an all-volunteer military, the Appeal was called "unprecedented" by Eugene Fidell, president of the National Institute of Military Justice.

American voters are still not aware the troop movement to return home is growing.

Well this sucks for soldiers. Democrats always say how they will help the soldiers but they never do. A lot of people aren't going to have what they need in Iraq now, and their paycheck is going to be smaller. What do you think?

This is an important point, the answer to this may well have prevented every one of the major massacres in the last century!
If, given a situation wherein a soldier's commanding officer ordered him/her to shoot and kill a certain target, would the said soldier be allowed to have any opinion whatsoever in the matter?
The target could be any one of the following:
A stone-throwing protester, peaceful protestor, person(s) belonging to a certain ethnic group, all male members of fighting age (meaning 15 & up) in a certain group of arrested people, a kid who's trying to hit you because you just killed his family .. the list goes on.
Every one of the above cases has received a bullet in the head at some or the other point in the last century. In every case, dissension by the soldiers could have saved lives.
Has any country yet held up the right of the soldier to say "NO" to his officer, without threat? Because the people who did these executions probably didn't really want to.

In order to save costs, Bush's regime has been sending the bodies of fallen soldiers, who were massacred in Iraq, home via commercial air freight, in the cargo belly of jets, just as if they were a Christmas package or something.
