I know that the SCRA says that credit card companies cannot charge more than 6% interest for debt incurred BEFORE active duty service.

Are there any laws or such that help or require your interest rate to be dropped while deployed or on Active Duty?

Also, my credit card company has been charging me for a Credit Holder Security Plan which I have called to cancel many times, and still each month it shows up on my statement, does anyone know what I can do about that?

He hasnt even got the guts to say sorry to the soldiers wife.

If the american military has cleared him of any wrong doing, then what has he got to be afraid of?

At least an apology might go someway towards helping the situation. But oh no .... too gutless to come forward. People go on about how brave the men in the military are. Brave is coming forward to face the woman you have just widowed. The pilot makes me sick. Be a man for once .........

I heard about something that a lot of Chinese and East Indian people were in the German army during WW2. So does that make those people Nazis?

I know it had to do something about the Germans didn't like the British because they tried to stop him, and wanted the East Indians to help the Germans because the English were still in India.

who is representing one of the marines at Camp Pendleton. He went on a fact finding mission to Iraq (something the prosecution is afraid to do) and he reported to me that the situation there has deteriorated so badly in the past 2 years since he was last there that he was under fire from the minute he arrived in Baghdad. He traveled to Mosul, Tikrit, Fallujah and met with the locals and took depositions and he returned to the US. He reports that our troops are under constant fire and that although they are highly trained professionals and good marines, they are scared to death and want to come home. He said that this is a civil war now and the US has 2 options, Kill everyone you see or get the hell out now! While I favor the kill them all solution personally, I think that it is time to get out as apparently Saddam was correct that the US doesn't have the will to fight the 'mother of all wars'. If Bush spent 15 minutes with this guy, the troops would be home in a week. What do you think

My dad told me about a book he was reading called operation james bond in which the author claims that he and Ian flemming where tasked by Churchill to rescue the Nazi Martin Bormann and bring him to The UK at the end of world war 2.
The author claims that they substituted a body for Bormann and left the dead body on the rail tracks to fool the allies into thinking Bormann was dead, and that the mission was a success and Bormann was brought to the UK.
Does anybody know if this is true or just a work of fiction?

"HEY DUDE ! WE'RE IN JAIL!"

These were the breathtakingly intelligent words I-don't-think from one of the colour blind US pilot (bright orange panels on our tanks didn't register apparently) who went in all gung-ho as usual and shot and killied one of our troops!

1) WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO USE SMART PILOTS TO FIRE THE SO CALLED SMART WEAPONS ?

2) When the HMS Sheffield was hit by an Exocet missile in the Falklands war, wasn't there an issue with the Seawolf anti-air-missile system designed to intercept them; supposedly on board -and it didn't work because it recognised the imbound missile as being french, therefore disregarding it because the system recognised it as being 'FRIENDLY' or something along those lines?

Would very much like to know the truth about what happened there please ?

My point with the above example is surely the ALLIES could think up some system that would IMPEDE US FROM FIRING ON EACH OTHER to elliminate this 'friendly' fire business ONCE AND FOR ALL ? !!

Say there's a young fellow (19 years old), high school grad, but not very athletic... meaning, there's a lot of room to improve, no physical conditions to hold him back from doing the work, he just... doesn't do a lot.

Would the Army build that person up to become Army Ranger-quality, through boot camp and advanced schooling? Or would they say at MEPS, "Well, you're not exactly qualified for such a job..."? Is it something they let you test for in Boot Camp or what?

NEW YORK - Idaho resident Kathy Evans brought humiliation to her friends and family Tuesday when she set a new standard for stupidity with her appearance on the popular TV show, "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire."

It seems that Evans, a 32-year-old wife and mother of two, got stuck on the first question, and proceeded to make what fans of the show are dubbing "the absolute worst use of lifelines ever."

After being introduced to the show's host Meredith Vieira, Evans assured her that she was ready to play, whereupon she was posed with an extremely easy $100 question. The question was:

"Which of the following is the largest?"
A) A Peanut
B) An Elephant
C) The Moon
D) Hey, who you calling large?

Immediately Mrs. Evans was struck with an all consuming panic as she realized that this was a question to which she did not readily know the answer.

"Hmm, oh boy, that's a toughie," said Evans, as Vieira did her level best to hide her disbelief and disgust. "I mean, I'm sure I've heard of some of these things before, but I have no idea how large they would be."

Evans made the decision to use the first of her three lifelines, the 50/50. Answers A and D were removed, leaving her to decide which was bigger, an elephant or the moon. However, faced with an incredibly easy question, Evans still remained unsure.

"Oh! It removed the two I was leaning towards!" exclaimed Evans. "Darn. I think I better phone a friend."

Using the second of her two lifelines on the first question, Mrs. Evans asked to be connected with her friend Betsy, who is an office assistant.

"Hi Betsy! How are you? This is Kathy! I'm on TV!" said Evans, wasting the first seven seconds of her call. "Ok, I got an important question. Which of the following is the largest? B, an elephant, or C, the moon. 15 seconds hun."

Betsy quickly replied that the answer was C, the moon. Evans proceeded to argue with her friend for the remaining ten seconds.

"Come on Betsy, are you sure?" said Evans. "How sure are you? Puh, that can't be it."

To everyone's astonishment, the moronic Evans declined to take her friend's advice and pick 'The Moon.'

"I just don't know if I can trust Betsy. She's not all that bright. So I think I'd like to ask the audience," said Evans.

Asked to vote on the correct answer, the audience returned 98% in favor of answer C, 'The Moon.' Having used up all her lifelines, Evans then made the dumbest choice of her life.

"Wow, seems like everybody is against what I'm thinking," said the too-stupid-to-live Evans. "But you know, sometimes you just got to go with your gut. So, let's see. For which is larger, an elephant or the moon, I'm going to have to go with B, an elephant. Final answer."
Evans sat before the dumbfounded audience, the only one waiting with bated breath, and was told that she was wrong, and that the answer was in fact, C, 'The Moon.'

I still dont understand why we are in Iraq in the first place. IMO... we should of left Iraq alone with their corrupt nation, and still be hunting down Osama. How is this war going to benefit the US if we do win this war? Bush should be hanged next.

If our lads in that convoy of vehicles when under attack from the tankbusters, had returned fire in that kill or be killed situation, with a rocket and taken out one of the aircraft do you think the British government would protect our soldiers and defend their decision or feed them to the Americans on a silver plater? You can bet they would want some kind of retribution from our side.

everybody knows how is become difficult in Iraq
I was compare The Gulf War to the 2003 invasion of Iraq
I just wonder why there is so much difference on the numbers
of troops deploy between war one US 575,000 troops and war two US 250,000 troops?
if you compare the 2 wars you will see a huge differences in
military power and how was led all operations!! why ?

Nobody believe 20 000 troops can make the differences
but if we can send 443 000 troops in order to re-establish
the same total of troops during the gulf war 575,000

well in that case control Baghdad should be more easy or not?

I'm 21 years old with a bachelor's degree and I am currently employed at McDonald's. I majored in something that I'm terrible in but my parents forced me. I hate McDonald's and I want to join the army. I will talk to my army recuiter two months from now. Which would give me time to think about the army.

I need some info from people with military exp. to help me make a decision. My question is the pay for a E-4 is almost $1700 per month, does this mean that I can expect that amount? I won't join and for example they ship me out 5 months and pay me for those 5 months, but as soon as I go back home they don't pay me for the rest of the year? I will have to go back to McDonald's?

Also I live with my parents in Hawaii, is it possible that they can station me in Seattle or something and give me $800 a month for living expenses? This $800 won't be enough to cover rent.
