Rules for answering the question:
1. Serious answers only please.
2. You can not ask for more troops.
3. You can not withdraw the troops from Iraq.
4. You have a free hand on the political front (meaning... you can go after anybody in Iraq)

If you watch the news even a little, you will hear people say, "We are not winning this war." Not just citizens, but anchores, and military generals ask these questions. I ask, "What war?" In 2003 when we invaded Iraq, our goal was to oust the Saddam regiem. It turned out to be a very easy win. Saddam didn't have much military might and he lost all controll (and the war) within a matter of months. In April 2003, Saddam and his regiem officially lost the war at the U.S invasion of Baghdad. There is no more official enemy. Saddam's regiem is nonexistant. We are not in a war in Iraq. We are simply policing the streets against gangs (the insurgents) who are citizens by day and violent at night. Ever been to Newark New Jersey? In conclusion, the war is one and we should not be afraid of failure, because we have already achieved victory. What the Iraqies want to do with their new found independence from Saddam is up to them.

I was in the Marine Corps and got out with an Honorable Discharge. Now I am thinking of joining the Coast Guard. Will I have to go through their boot camp as well?
Thanks.

Today caps one of the bloodiest weeks yet in Iraq as far as US Soldier loss goes. That dosent even mention the thousands of innocent iraqi civilians lost. SO, what is 20,000 more troops gonna do other than get more people killed? Anyone else have any better ideas? I know I do after witnessing the situation over there first hand...

I don't understand why the Iraqis would kill their own people, I suppose it is similar to the Civil war, could someone shed some light on the subject?

I have seen a young military wife here who is obviously just lonely and afraid, saying awful things about the war and the president. I know the big picture is not oh her radar yet,but how about you?

Do you as a military wife realize that your support plays into the war of public perception? Do you keep criticizm to yourself, or do you air it to everyone who will listen?

Or are you the household six, watching his back, commited to something greater than yourself the same as he is?

How tough is it to get hired for a Private Military Contractor (PMC) such as Blackwater USA? Do they hire many ex military people without any special forces experience( I.E a person who was a medic in the army for 4 years) or do you have to have been the best such as rangers or special forces? What are the odds of getting in having just been a medic in the Army for 4 years?

My husband weight approx. 260 lbs and we know he needs to loose a lot of weight to pursue his dream to join the military.
He will not be a "normal” soldier, more a teacher in the military.
We have had people from the military visiting our home and discussed my husband's different opportunities in the military.
But we still do not know what weight he must reaches to get into the military.
My husband is 5'10" tall.
Anyone who knows?

Let's say they needed an extra 85,000 troops in iraq and if you got drafted that is where you would be sent.

I am being serverly mistreaded and psychologically tortured by a digital implant in my arm from when I was a child.
I cannot get away from it. it cannot be removed!
Should I exact revenge and kill the vile people responsible for the years of torture they have put me through? I want them to fall down dead for what they have done to me!

It just doesn't make sense when you have men and women that desire to rejoin the military and are physically and mentally capable, and are already disciplined in many areas of the military specialty fields.

Yet in the next breath we hear of shortfalls in enlistment, and a projected need of more enlistees in the up coming years.

The question came to mind when I play my Electronic Battleship. Right before the "battle" starts, there is always the "General quarters, general quarters, man your battle stations! This is not a drill. Repeat. This is not a drill!" I found out battle stations are training exercises so this phrase must be wrong. Exactly what do the sailors down under do when in an engagement (no planes, just another ship).

The world would be worse without the USA cause that would be they would have to be a new superpower and all hell would break lose and all the Europeans would be saying you know what America wasnt so bad after the Chinese control thier economy and thier way of life. Without the USA, China would become the new superpower and anyone who chooses Chinese communism over the great US captialist system is crazy.

The Chinese shot down their own satellite over California as a test in conjunction with the U.S. Air Force, with a new missile called the Stermgumweht (German missile). It landed somewhere in the Mojave desert, but it could be seen from about 200 miles, so thats what u probably saw.
