I need advice from other wives/fiances that have husbands in Iraq, we are not married yet and from hes heard we cant get married yet because his unit is under Red alert, hes deploying anytime after 31 days from now, we want to get married, but is there something we can do to get it waived somehow? He asked his unit and they couldnt give us a definant answer. Also how do you deal with all the anxiety from them being over there, I am so worried, hes been gone but not that far, and especially over there, they are saying he could be gone from 3 months to 2 YEARS! whats the average time line for them to be deployed?

How likely are veterans to experience cognitive dissonance with regard to their role in a war that they might normally consider (and most others DO consider) unnecessary, baseless or otherwise unjust?

You might think this is a commentary on the Iraq war. I won't deny that the Iraq war inspired it, but that's not what I'm asking about in particular. I think it could apply in general.

I'm especially interested in what people know about veterans of armies whom we all KNOW were in the wrong. Like Nazi troops.

What portion of Nazi veterans still feel like the war they were drafted into was right, just because they had a part in it?

I have a wife of 2 years who is okay with me doing so. Her father is in the military and he says that it would be a great experience for us both. The only thing that is making the decision hard is that I have a 14 month old daughter that I love to play with. Alot of people are telling me that it would be great for my family. I also have people telling me that it's not worth it in case I get sent overseas. I'm not sure of what I want to do, so I need to know what you all think. All opinions are greatly appreciated and welcome. Thank you to all who respond and God Bless.

Bush takes office in Feb. 5-7 months later the trade centers are attacked. Americans are attacked and killed on usa soil.
What was the secret service doing under Bill Clinton's term in the white house? Lining up for their turn not to have sexual relations with the hired help.

This attack had to have taken years to plan right ? Hell, the pilots were trained to fly these planes right here in the states. Was there any one working for home land and security. Maybe I have watched too many spy movies and have came to believe that the US had their own JAMES BOND working behind the scenes.
Was Clinton even on American Soil when the attacks occured.?

This gun does look cool. Polymer framed, DAO trigger.

Does anyone own this? How do you like it?

How is the recoil? Is the recoil high? Accuracy?

What are your likes and dislikes of the gun?

Are we trying to take over the entire middle East eventually?
When can we ever get out if we keep sending more troops in?
Cant we stop it? Why can't everyone see its a lost cause or the real cause was hidden in the first place and that this is a completely botched and useless war?

This is all fact - two U.S. carrier attack groups have been deployed to the Persian Gulf. U.S.
missile systems are being sent to oil producing countries to counter any incoming missiles from Iran should any survive the U.S. attack. Israeli pilots have been training for an attack on Iran. U.S. war doctrine has been changed to permit pre-emptive nuclear attack on non-nuclear countries. U.S. attack aircraft have been deployed at bases in Turkey. An admiral who attends A.I.P.A.C. events has been made commander in chief of U.S. forces in the Middle
East. Obviously, the ground war in Iraq and Afghanistan are not the focus of the Bush Regimes new military deployments. The Bush Regime is fully focused on attacking Iran.

What do you think ?

It has been said that Iran is working on nuclear weapons, although Iran denies this.

Many experts say that Iran could have these weapons in as little as three years.

U.S. military officials have said that to stop Iran's development of nuclear weapons would be no small task. It would take at least 1000 sorties.

Israel would not likely tolerate a nuclear armed Iran. They would strongly consider using military means - if need be - to stop Iran from obtaining these weapons.

Would Israel have the capability to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons without entering into a war that would guarantee their own demise? Or, at least, a protracted war that would bring massive damage against their own country?

This is a task that even the U.S.A. says would be very difficult.

So could Israel do it?
