Yesterday I went to enlist in the Salvation Army. All of the ladies gave me this puzzled look and one even burst into laughter. I was really upset beacause I shaved my head and everything. I am in excellent physical condition by the way, but apparently something about me did not meet their stringent requirements. What could the problem be?

have you ever heard of Uganda?if not now you do it's a small country in Africa.there is a terrible war going on,where a rebel army tried over throwing the government.he was short on soldiers,therefore, he resorted to abducting poor children .They brutaly murder one of these poor innocent children right in front of the others.they say if you dont obey the same will happen to you .then they train these children to do horrible things shoot,beat,and kill other people. the kids they take are from 5-12 beacause their big enough to hold gun and small enough to take more children.now the other army has to hide thousands of children and protect them from the rebels.Now it's time for America to know about it. to learn and help these children go to www.invisiblechildren.com.please help make difference and let these children know they havent been forgotten about.
take care

Navy Seal marriages and relationships have a 15% success rate. I want to be that 15%. I won't cheat. I will be lonely with my kitties or possibly children. I will be honored to be his gf/wife. I will support him in all that he does. I should do this right? I'm not crazy? We've only known each other for about 7 months, but knowing him and loving him just feels right. I told him that I loved him when I was drunk. This was the night before he left for San Diego. He doesn't want me to wait. What do I do? I don't want to move on at all. I look at other men and just get sick to my stomach. I'm depressed. I'm in love with the right man at the wrong time. He calls it, "**** Happens," and he told me that even though he thinks I shouldn't wait that he'll go against the odds with me, if that's what I want. HELP?! (Those of you who answered my other questions rudely are not welcome to answer this.)

I will start with my basic info...i am registered republican, a masters degree from the university of pennsylvania and now currently in the US army.

I am tired of democrats vs republicans, left wing, right wing, neocon and hillary and obama and all this nonsense.

I would like to hear your honest thoughts on what should be done with our involvement in iraq and afghanistan. Not general ideas, but actual answers. No troop bashing, no republican bashing, no democrat bashing, or bush bashing. What do you think we should do with these two countries. Again, keep your political views to yourselves, i want to hear what is in the best interest of the US and our people.

Chances are they will not be as trained and skilled as full time pilots.

Does this not ring alarm bells with anyone?

Plus, i heard that the British Army reserve (TA) is put in the same ranks as the normal British Army to 'beef' it up a bit. So you have highly skilled people and under skilled people working together to perform to a relatively high standard.

Is it true that whole companies of part-time soldiers from the US are left to their own devices and are not surrounded by highly trained forces?

Does this not shed a little light on these friendly fire and abuse allegations?

Everything war opponents say about Iraq appears to apply there too. It's a civil war, and we shouldn't get stuck in the middle. We can't stop these ancient hatreds. It does not affect US security (this is more demonstrably true of Darfur - Iran is not next door).

Wouldn't every death - no matter who caused it - then be the US's fault, as some claim in Iraq? (Yes, one could say that the US "caused" the problems in Iraq, but the overall deaths are down from the days of Saddam's mass executions. Do we get the credit, then?)

Would every company that supplies resources for the Darfur effort be accused of "profiteering?"

Finally, should those who say we should do something there agree to enlist themselves, or keep quiet?

I'm just trying to figure out where those who oppose the mission in Iraq would ever send US troops on a "humanitarian" mission.

This is more of a statement than a question. It goes out to all my fellow brits who are jumping all over this and using it as an excuse to bash the whole of the American forces. It's a damn shame that things like this happen, but when the adrenalin is pumping you have to expect mistakes to be made, it just so happens that in war the mistakes are deadly. Those pilots probably should face some sort of inquest, but not to punish them, more so to fnd out how we can stop things like this happening again. They have to live with what they did, and that is going to be so hard for them. Anybody who thinks that they fired on friendlies and don't suffer psychologically from it is a hard hearted fool. So please fellow anglo's, please stop bashing on Americans because of this, it doesn't serve our countries or alliance, which for 70 years plus has been the greatest on earth, at all. United we stand, United we should fall. Churchill said, "Together there is nothing we can't accomplish".

Why did the Americans try to cover it up? Should this airman be charged with murder? Or was it just American incompetance again? Why are the Americans scared to admit their incompetance?
