During WWII there were several different types of infantry: Anti-tank riflemen, Commanders, Grenadiers, Light Machine Gunners, Mission leaders, Paratroopers, Riflemen, Sapper-Engineers, Snipers, and Sub Machine Gunners.

How many types of infantry are there today? and why are they all referred to as GI (General Infantry)?

An Israeli soldier out of counscience told the world that thier armies are behaving as the Nazis did when it invaded Poland .... that was covered by every major news agency for 2 days and then it has disapeared. WHY ?

There was another major story of civilan corpses chared black with what was thought to be chemical weapons used on Lebonon's civilians . That news story disapeared almost imediately after being published . WHY?

Israel bombed a 30 yr old well marked UN camp with a Canaidian in it . They claimed it was an error but then it was reported that the UN troops stationed in this well known observatory called the Israeli defense dept more than 10 times to say You are to close .... they countered that Hamas was operating in that area It was later reported they were operating some 15 miles from the UN camp - That story disapeared fairlty fast after that . WHY ?

Ity would seem very suspicious wouldn't it?

I had a question about openly gay people serving in the military.

Would the same logic allowing this also compel co-ed barracks? It's a serious question, related to (but not the same as) one I asked earlier.

Seems to me the excuse of "unit cohesion" in the case of racial segregation was easy to overcome. Society decided, quite rightly, that the only "disruption" that would occur if the military were integrated would be to bigots. I'd say the military is one of society's more integrated institutions.

But it seems to me the possible "disruption" here would be the possibility of being in close quarters with someone who is POTENTIALLY sexually interested in you. There's a lot of merit in saying that people should be adults and control themselves - but doesn't that apply to co-ed as well? We don't think heterosexuals are perverts who can't keep their minds off sex, do we?

Again, we don't segregate races (and shouldn't) but we do sexes. Is there an inconsistency there?

The U.S. has nukes, but never uses them. This must relate to the U.S.'s peaceful nature. With all the problems in the Middle East, couldn't they just have a "final solution" and nuke the entire region, to the extent that every living person there will die? Is there a way of doing that which would not harm the rest of the environment, not harm the oil reserves that we need for fuel in the rest of the world, and somehow not upset other nations too much?

Thank you.

I'm asking you Americans. It appears when our President, Tarja Halonen broached the subject with Mr Bush he was dismissive of the subject and was not willing to negotiate.

For the uninitiated, Finland was at war with USSR but was not formally allied with the Axis during WW2 but was attacked by the USSR in order for them to either create a "buffer zone", or to reclaim the whole country.

USA did not under any time declare war against Finland despite allying itself with the USSR, but Great Britain did.

Finns did receive aid from Nazi-Germany, to a small extent. But Finns did not export Jews or persecute on behalf of the Nazi party, and were governed by a stable democracy.

This is a political issue, not a historic one, I'm afraid. It is of course useless to talk about this with the Russians who at this date do not even recognize that they started the war, but consider it a part of their "Great Patriotic Front"- a justified war against an aggressor.

Any support for this? Views?

Is the organization of the U.S. military suited for todays world. I'm thinking that mass mobilization are pretty well irrelavant in today's world. It doesn't seem that we have learned how to fight wars against anything other than a large military force.

My husband and I will be meeting with a Navy recruiter on Tuesday. My husband is former Army (before he met me). I'm very unsure and uneasy about allowing him to enlist. Any information about the lifestyle and such would be so very helpful. Also, any suggestions for questions to ask the recruiter would also be very welcomed! Thank you all, and God Bless!

I have read that it was felt that many more lives were saved by ending the war from the dropping fat man and little boy, but the A bombs killed mostly civilians. Was this really necessary?

If you where in Palestine

What would you do to that person who has shot and killed you Mother and Farther, your baby brother or sister in front of your eyes and you are the only one who has survived.

Will you say: I forgive him/her, if so then your not a human or don’t love your family.

It is obvious that no one will stand and breath properly until they get revenge for what somebody has done to there life.

YOU DON’T KNOW UNTIL YOU EXPERANCE IT.

What do you say you would do?

Shortly before his untimely death, former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook told the House of Commons that "Al Qaeda" is not really a terrorist group but a database of international mujaheddin and arms smugglers used by the CIA and Saudis to funnel guerrillas, arms, and money into Soviet-occupied Afghanistan. Courtesy of World Affairs, a journal based in New Delhi, WMR can bring you an important excerpt from an Apr.-Jun. 2004 article by Pierre-Henry Bunel, a former agent for French military intelligence.

http://freedom4um.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=15254

n 1995, the U.S. finally stopped funding the Mujaheddin, but Benazir Bhutto, Prime Minister of Pakistan in 1996, said in a BBC interview that the Taliban training schools in Pakistan had been paid for by the United States and Britain.

So is Al-Qaeda really out to get us, or just a CIA front group used to justify US agression abroad?

I know this is stupid, but i want my sweet revenge on her. My revenge on my hubby is divorce. She knew he was married and had even met his whole family at a unit xmas party in 05. She slept with him from apr 06-aug 06. I really want to wreck her career cuz she wrecked my family and i know adultery is against the law in the military, but if i go that route, it will burn my hubby as well, and i need him to have his job for child support. I know this is stupid and childish and i should let it go, but when people mess with me, i dont get mad, i get even. any legal, annonymous ideas. i'm sure in the end she'll know i'm behind it, but she'll just have to wonder, wont she?
