Military - January 2007

Should'nt we concider them the aggresser over there and tag them as the combatents and enemy because they did nothing to protect those who were sent there to help them rebuild their country It certainly was no plight of gratitude and they should have protected the Americans if they realy wanted democracy in their country, The Sunni's are Saddams followers anyway. so why not take sides with the shiittes? their actions alone should so the Americans who is realy against them.

I was really interested in a story someone told me. What are/were you experiences like in the armed forces? What were you in(eg. Marines, Darpa, Army, Navy etc..)? And how long were you in it?

I am really interested in joining, but i would just like to hear what other people think about it first. By the way, i live in Australia.

I understood that our pay was tax-free since we were deployed in Iraq. What does that mean exactly?

Don't you think, that the next "major" war will not be fought with troops or tanks, but with computers? Whats your opinion?

I wonder if the new weapon to aid US troops can be classed as WMD, and the US Nation be invaded searching for WMD?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/6295567.stm

Why haven't US been invaded on such an excuse?

I doubt if there would be the same "non result" of such action as happened in Iraq !!

..and before you ask or spout off, I have read the article, which raised the obvious question in my mind - why hasn't US been invaded to look for WMD?.. have a taste of your own medicine..

It begs the next question who would you call on then for help?

What about a fence around Iraq or checkpoints. What's wrong with the air surveillance? If we cut off supplies, we would diminish the violence. Am I missing something?

Any ENLISTED personnel been stationed, or know any that were stationed at West Point with the Garrison there? It appears that there are support personnel there and was wondering about anyone's experiences with that. MOS's they or other personnel had that were assigned there, number of personnel, avg day at the academy, any interaction with cadets? The web site says 1092 active duty personnel including enlisted, but that is all.

And... Who Comes Home First?

I am so tired of being told I don't care about the soldiers in Iraq because I support our President and the mission of stabilizing Iraq before we leave. The most recent statement I have come across is "It seems that they have no heart and will risk additional American lives in our war with Iraq just to show that they have a plan and to save face on their failures in Iraq"

I do NOT believe it would be a wise move to just start randomly pulling our men and women out of Iraq. You can't just start pulling men and women out of Iraq on a moments notice and leave the ones who are still there more exposed to enemy attacks while there is still so much instability.

How do you ask the last American to leave Iraq to be willing to die because he was the unfortunate one to be in the last group to leave? How do you do that?

How do you choose who stays and who leaves FIRST before that country is stable?

Air Force Chief Master Sgt. John Gebhardt, of the 332nd Expeditionary Medical Group out of Balad Iraq cradles a young girl as they both sleep in the hospital. The girls entire family was executed by insurgents; the killers shot her in the head as well. The girl is receiving treatment at the U.S. Military Hosp in Balad, but she cries & moans often. According to nurse at the facility Gebhardt is the only one who can calm down the girl, so he has spent the last several nights holding her as they sleep in a chair.



This was sent to me as an email with a picture attached of the Chief Mstr Sgt & the little girl aslleep in a chair. The photo was taken by Airforce personnel. The picture would surely make you take a long pause and take a hard look at this mans humanity.

''''Britain had already gone bankrupt, saved only by the
donation of $600 million in gold bullion in the Bank of England, that was actually the property of Belgium, given by Belgium to England to carry on the war when Belgium was overrun by Hitler (a little known fact).
Actually, Belgium surrendered on one day, because it was unable to oppose the German invasion, and the Germans bombed Brussels into rubble the next day just to prove they could. Britain had already been holding out for two years in the face of staggering losses and the near decimation of its air force in the Battle of Britain, and...'''

"The military's new weapon is a ray gun that shoots a beam that makes people feel as if they will catch fire.
The technology is supposed to be harmless -- a non-lethal way to get enemies to drop their weapons."

Has the military gone off it's rocker? Will this end War as we know it for all time?

Hi :)

I posted this question in both the immigration and the military forum because my question is kinda part of both categories.
My name is Drew and I came the United States when I was 6 years old. I grew up in US and I joined the U.S. Marine Corps when i was 18 years old. I have been a permanent resident for a 14 years, and I've been a Marine for 2 of them. Until recently I never bothered to become an official citizen because it wasn't a priority. Now I think I would like to become one, but I'm not sure how to go about it. I was planning to talk with my CO but it's currently 0200 where I am. I tried reading up on the USCIS website, but I don't really know how to find the information I'm looking for. I was told that since I'm a member of the U.S. military my process to become a citizen will take less time. Is this true? Anyways, Any information somebody could provide me would greatly be appreciated

Thx

Hello,

I have been working really really hard to prepare for Navy Basic training, I've lost around 50 lbs, I workout just about everyday and have strictly monitored my diet. My question is this, if I am still a bit overweight when I go in, and not a really, really strong runner (although I am a lot better now) will I be able to make it through? I have a very strong personality and don't give up, if it helps. Please no negative comments, this is something I'm working really hard to do. Thanks.

During WW1 Pre.Wilson nacted two drafts and generated 23 million able men. Out of which he wanted 5 MILLION to use.
If anything Pres. Bush didnt ask for enough. If you say we shouldnt have been over there anyway. Then you have to explain why its ok to sit and watch and wait for the terrible things he was doing to the people of Iraq. i.e His sons raping a bride on her wedding day. FOR THREE DAYS! Senseless killing of the thousands of kurds. The waste on gold toilets for the palace, while the people expire in poverty. What an outrage!!
He ignored 23 UN sanctions. And had he had WMDs he surly wouldnt have hesitated using them. If you dont agree with Pres. Bush, I would just like to know what you think we should have done? I THINK PRESIDENT COULD HAVE DONE THINGS DIFF. MYSELF. I WOULD HAVE HAD ALOT MORE TROOPS OVER THERE AND THIS WOULD HAVE ENDED FASTER AND EASIER FOR EVERYONE. ( I THINK )

What is in place regarding Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome? What types of employment is available for them? How comfortable could one be if some of them were policeman, prison guard, postal worker, nurse, teacher, soldier, ploitician,or doctor?

How would these soldiers react to a society that is ill-equiped for the emotional trauma experienced during their tour of duty?

How would a society well equip itself to deal with these matters?

What businesses wil be created as a result of well eqippng the society to deal with these soldiers and possibly their familes? In what ways would this be a profitible investment?

If we marry before he goes off to BCT how will the housing go once he is given his orders? If there's no on base housing available will he be given BAH right away or will we just be reimbursed? If there is on base housing, we can just move in ASAP? I also heard there was some type of extra pay for him while he's in BCT and AIT for being married. What is it and where can I read about all this?
