Military - January 2007

When did the USA and Britain Become allies???? I know during the civil war they wanted to help the South and even as recently as 1901 some British politicians wanted to invade the "colonies". So when did the Brits become our best ally???? And is there still a sentiment that we are thier colonies to them, and some Brits who still want to invade us?

This president thinks that the war is winnable. He also proclaimed victory 2 months after it started, but that's old news.

It's almost four years since this war started and there's no end in sight with the upcoming surge in troop levels. Iraqi civilians and American soldiers are killed every day, but for what? At what point can you or the president say the US military is winning or won the war? And, to Americans, in the Military or not, what is the gain?

Why or why not do you think Bush is doing good about Iraq.

With all the killing of american soldiers shouls we pull out or should we stay in and continue?

do you think we are making a difference?

Does this make sense? Why or why not?
1) Radical Islamic terrorists want the US out of Iraq so they can impose an anti-US, wahabist Islamic government and persecute the Shiites.
2) The terrorists see that US deaths in Iraq are leading to a swell of anti-Bush, "US out" movements in the US.
3) They kill more Americans to speed the withdrawal.

If this makes sense, then do you think that anti-war protests (like a lot of the anti-war stuff you read on Y!A) indirectly leads to more Soldiers dying in Iraq? If not, where is my logic flawed?

that those hung at Nuremberg were tried and hung for " waging an aggressive war " and that no1 was ever tried for genocide until the early 90's. I want to know if this was the exact terminology used at Nuremberg and if it was how does this terminology relate to the current conflict post Invasion/Liberation/Colonization, (whatever you want to call it of Iraq)

Is there any other kind of War than aggressive?

My grandfather, who is still living in Australia, would like me to try to find his war records. He served in the British Army of the Rhine (B.A.O.R) in World War 2 and I have basically all the information about him (his number, battery, regiment, etc), but I can't find a comprehensive site for finding his record or any information about his regiment. Any suggestions?

I'm only 4'11 and I have asthma and a lot of allergies. I'm a fighter and I work really hard in school. I already have a black belt in karate and my instructors are retired marines are so put in a little military into our training so I'm used to it. I only weight 106 and I'm 15 so I'm really fit. I want to go to military college in a couple years and serve from there. I want to be an engineer or work with science. I feel that I should serve my country and I love the US more than anything. I'm only a freshman but I always see recruiters in the hallways during lunch and I talked to a couple and they gave me some info. Do you think I could get in even though I have asthma? I have a 90 gpa and I'm in a lot of clubs (science, library, renisannce) so I'm good at managing my own time. Thanx

Do they not see that leaving now will just cause more civil war which will be utter pandemonium. You can expect turkey to move in and annex kurdish territory, syria from the west and iran from the east to do likewise. Whatever happens, oil prices will reach record highs and while you may not want to fight a war over oil, this is over oil and if we lose, the high oil prices will have a toll. High gasoline prices (record highs maybe double), will cause poverty which will cause crime, homelessness, and terror. Leaving could be the catalyst to apocalypse.

I voted for him.
So did a good portion of the country, now when things get tough everybody tucks and runs. Let's remember how wonderful Clinton's foreign policy was.
I mean...c'mon..the American public is blind, stupid, and just plain gullible. Eat your media and put the gravy on it. Whatever you do just stop whining about it...yes Jane Fonda means whining.

Information Clearing house...while reading Drudge next..
Better yet go to the damn country in question and figure it out for yourself.

I've looked it up on-line, and I think with the help of my friend who went to veteran's school for awhile, we can do it.

I made a terrible mistake.. I had him neuterd at 6 months old, and he is now 4.

He is the most amazing cat, and I NEED more.

This protesting and speaking out just makes the troops uncertain about their cause and causes them to make mistakes and troops die when mistakes are made. I assert that these protests have caused the loss of life indirectly. Also, Cindy Sheehan's son must be so ashamed of her. I would be if my mother was acting like such a hysterical shrew.

office (that is still two years off) to have all of our soldiers out of iraq, when in all realty there is no military solution to the conflict. while on the other hand the american people have lost over 3,000 of their mothers,fathers, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters. call me crazy but i thought that the commander and chief along with the senate and the house are representatives for the people. so why do they not leason to us. how many more must we lose before they realize we have lost to much?
