Military - February 2007

I am very respectful of our men and women who serve our country and mean NO disrespect at all asking this. I hear that Marines are considered the best in the world and am simply wondering if that is an objective assessment or of its influenced by the fact that they're ours...any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Do you still think Iran is close to having a nuclear weapon? Or believe Ahmadinejad threatened to wipe Israel off the map? Or think Iran is arming the Sunni Insurgents in Iraq?

Iran is at least 10 years from any bomb:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/01/AR2005080101453.html

It’s now accepted fact that Ahmadinejad has never said “Wipe Israel off the map”. It was a mistranslation:

http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/jonathan_steele/2006/06/post_155.html

There’s nothing to back-up the claim that Iran has been arming the insurgents in Iraq:

Do you agree that Iran presents no threat & any military action is unjust?

I have about 90 credits over 5 years time, and I am not sure what I want to major in now. I am thinking of joining the national call to serve(15 months active duty, basic, AIT) or 2-3 year option in Army. I'm interested in 44C (Financial Mgt. Technician).If I go ahead one more year of college(bachelor's of science in Liberal Studies), can I join as an E-4 instead of E-3? Army has shorter terms and can chose MOS as opposed to Air Force. My husband is a Health Care Specialist for over 4 years(E-4). We're in Oahu. He wants to be officer, and eventually retire in Army. We are trying to get a solid foundation before we have kids. I would like to contribute more since I am not getting anywhere fast with my schooling. Any suggestions, additional information regarding enlistment lenghts, choice of MOS, college options, etc? What about both spouses military arrangements? We are 23 and 22 btw. Better to just join now or worth it to finish to get Liberal Studies(BS)?

Watada obeyed his conscience. He did what he believed to be the right thing. What can be greater than that?

My husband is currently serving in Iraq and we have been told we may be going to several different places within a few months of him getting out. he gave me an 800# to call to check it. its 1800 fyi ----. I can't remember what the whole thing was but he said all you have to do is put you ssn in on the phone and it will tell you where you are going if your duty station is decided already. Is this true, and if it is, what is the whole phone number?

When the Iraq War is finally declared illegal, will US soldiers be absolved from their crimes by using the Nuremberg Defense? * See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_Defense

u still think the libtards SUPPORT THE TROOPS?

BILL ARKIN IS THE POSTER CHILD FOR THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA--THEY ARE ONE IN THE SAME WITH THE FAR LEFT. THIS IS JUST MORE PROOF.

WHERE IS HILLARY OR ANY OTHER LIBERAL? THEY WONT SAY A THING. THEY ARE SICK AND HATE THE MILITARY. JUST LIKE BILL SAID WHEN HE RAN OFF TO ENGLAND TO AVOID THE MILITARY.

My husabnd is getting ready to do a one year contract over there and they told him that after 90 days my daughter and I can join him over there.
I just wanted to see if anyone has ever been there before and tell me a little bit of what it's like there before.

All I know is that we'll be living in one of the houses on the compound there. I guess I would just like to know what it's like living there.

Hello,

I'm a 14 year old middle school student doing a search project about the effects of combat and the military. If you can and were a veteran or a current service men/women who experienced combat in anyway can send me their email address or home address. Or if you know a service men/women serving in Iraq or Afghan I really would like to hear from them about my topic. Thank you

Oh and thank you to the veterans/service men/women who served.

I am a soldier. Why should we be treated any different? Just like you, we do our job. People don't get extra benefits just for doing their job, why should we? Whenever I travel in uniform I never pay a cent for food at the air ports. People always invite to pay for my food. I appreciate it deeply. i guess what i'm asking is why? what is it that makes people so charitable around soldiers?
thank you all who support our troops by the way. It’s incredible the things you do to make soldiers feel at home.

(Now Im not asking someone to plan my life out for me, I just want some other ideas besides the couple I have now; to see all my options)

Fiance is going to school to be an orthodontist, and Im joining the Marines. I wanted to enlist but Ive been persuaded otherwise by a lot of people; so Im going to go through NROTC (Not Navy, Marines). Ive always known I wanted to go into the military, but if I want to make a career out of it; I might as well put in the extra 4 years and get an education to start out at a decent rank.

But back on topic. I want to go through NROTC (Marines) and come out a 2nd Lt. in the USMC Infantry. My question is, what major would you reccomend for someone that has a decent head on their soldiers but not a genious, that would hate a deskjob.

Im just looking for some ideas here, Ive been looking into Criminal Justive for the past year but I want to see what other people's opinions are.

(Probably going to Purdue)(Indiana)

--Thanks alot

Cause I want to join the army, but you know how you see in the movies when they all go 'Yes sir, No sir' ........ well I want to do the same but say it with a smirk on my face so the instructor knew I was just taking the pi** and that I didnt really care what he just said.

I mean whats the worse they could do, its hardly like they could lay a hand on you. I'd set my lawyers on to em LOL.

A recruiter came to my high school today, and he and I talked about being in the reserve while I'm attending college. He gave me a bunch of sheets and information and I'm very seriously considering it. It said that there is an Enlistment Bonus of 20,000. My question is...what exactly is that, and what are the requirements that I'd have to fullfill. Thanks.
