Military - January 2007

iv asked this twice but im not gettin the answers that i want. the thing is, so many people are saying that war these days is not necessary. personally however, i disagree. I know for a fact that war is necessary in many situations. If a country invades you, you cant just allow them. if terrorists launch attacks on your country, you cant just sit and watch countrymen die.

What i want however, is your opinions and reasons. I want real answers. long answers (cuz this is also for a debate) and detailed with reasons as to why war is necessary at times and also times where other methods have failed.

big thanks to whoever helps me out here.

There are actually people in the world who know about the Vietnam war. That includes almost no Americans. We prefer not to think about Vietnam, so we haven't learned from it. There was a completely winnable war in which we lost no major battles, in which the guerilla fighters (the Viet Cong) were utterly destroyed as a fighting force early in 1968, never to be rebuilt, and yet we lost. How? Diem had announced that he would fight until we got tired of it and went home, and he proceeded to do so. It really didn't matter who won on the battlefield as long as the NVA won on the US TV screen. After the Tet battles of 1968, the Viet Cong were destroyed as a fighting force and the NVA were significantly weakened. Walter Cronkite announced that we were lost, and Johnson said that if Cronkite said so, then the American people were lost. That is, Cronkite's analysis was completely wrong but his conclusion was right, because it was a self-fulfilling prophesy.

To be continued....

war is a necessary evil today. whats your take on that quote? No bias answers please. I only want the opinions of those who are neutral and open-minded about this because i know fo a fact there are two sides to this. and nothing about wars that happened hundreds of years ago. focusing more on the world today. Do you believe that sometimes war does have its advantages and that at times, it is indeed necessary.

In Vietnam, President Nixon was the Bad guy, now in Iraq, President Bush is the bad guy, does history repeat itself? and are we watching it unfold....

Also We were winning in Nam, and We Will Win in Iraq...but not according to certain individuals who are trying to become saviors to win votes for 2008. Our soldiers are fighting for US thats the key!

I went to a school this summer that was in an office building where the Marine recruiting station was by the elevator door. I got to talking to the recruiting officers, and observing their office, and even reading their pamphlets while I sat and ate my sandwich. I found out some amazing things, and one of them was what truly professional Marines we have now that there is no draft. I also saw the same sense of professionalism and pride at the other recruiting offices, which were in the same building. An all-volunteer military has been one of our better ideas. I prayed for that since the 1960s, and I'm so proud to see it worked.

Did you know you don't have to be contemplating joining up yourself, or even be eligible to join, just to go in and ask questions and pick up pamphlets?

And yes, I think we have the best military service in the world, with the possible exception of the Swiss.

I've heard over and over "If they are smart, they will just leave Iraq"

Why do people think that military members can simply leave Iraq and come back? It's desertion first off. They signed a contract giving up 3-8 years(depending on they job). And they where transported there by military transport.

I guess mostly I'm sick of hearing it, and want to know what logic fuels this type of comment

I'm doing a survey and they asked if my father was a veteran or just retired. He was in the Grenada War and retired with 100% disability. Since he was in a war, does that make him an army vet.?

I'd just like some information on how the US citizens view the war in Iraq. I realise there are monster protests etc. but in reality, are you all still the patriotic people I grew up to believe you were? Or has the "invasion" into Iraq split the country. PS I am a Johnnie Howard Supporter so dont be afraid :)
