Military - January 2007

I can either get out of the Marine Corps altogether, or continue on as an officer (I am currently enlisted) after going to OCS. I have no desire to remain on the enlisted side, although it was a fun ride while it lasted. I don't really believe in what is going on in the world today politically, but I do not put any blame whatsoever on service men and women, as I feel that these issues stem from our elected officials.

My question is, should I become an officer who can use the knowledge he has gained as an enlisted man to better the Corps, or get out and cease to support a war I am not entirely in agreement with? I know that this should be a personal question that I should answer only after doing some soul-searching, but I would still like to get the opinions of others.

70% of people in the United States are against the war and yet the war supporters keep putting our troops in danger by sending more in harms way. How do war supporters sleep at night?

The Pentagon has estimated that there are 100,000 government contractors operating in Iraq, doing such jobs as serving meals, guarding convoys and interrogating prisoners.

Do we uses photo ID records of individuals... take finger prints... or what?

I have never seen nor read any details about how our troops conduct their police investigations. It all seems so hit or miss. Does anyone have a clue? Has anyone ever seen or read anything about our data collecting methods over there?

I'm not criticizing... I'd just like to know.

- To vote and not protest. Come on thats what America is if you dont like it then vote. Is that too hard?

-Stop thinking about the death toll. It does not reflect off the war progress. If you want troops to live then dont let there morale down.

He has spun this war so many times that I think many of us are confused as to why we are in Iraq and Afghanistan. HIs name and legacy will be forever linked with Iraq.

I got out of the navy a couple of years back and received a general discharge (under honorable conditions) with a re-entry code RE-4.
It was for misconduct. I know that you can't join the military again because of my code, but can I join the army national guard? I have heard that there are some people who've had the exact same type of discharge as me and managed to get into the guard with a waiver. Is this possible? If so, can I join the guard and go to officer candidate school? I just graduated college and I was thinking about going into the guard and go to officer candidate school.
