Who thinks George is doing a good job sending more troops to Iraq.
I think we need to get them OUT!! He is a dumb man who has no idea how to run a country. We need a Clinton in there and maybe we can get our country back. GET THOSE TROOPS OUT!!

Ok here is my question... I have a sister who is only two weeks away from graduating from NAVY basic training... today she broke her foot and tore some ligaments in her foot while doing PT... the military is now saying that it was a preexisting condition and wont pay for her surgery and wont pay for the time shes been in basic and wont pay for any of the medical bills and wont treat her until its resolved... they tried to force her to sign something before reading it but she read it first and refused as it said that she agreed that she had a preexisting condition... we have retained a naval lawyer... what more can we do... they also wanna discharger her (and not pay for physical therapy or sergery or her inablilty to work for the next couple months).... if you have any suggestions please let me know what more I can do for my sister?

The Nazis and Communists thought forcing people into service(military) was a good idea and they failed. i need to explain this for my debate. how did this fail for them, in the same way that our draft will fail for us?

U.S. soldier was sentenced to 100 years in prison Thursday for the gang rape and murder of an Iraqi girl and the killing of her family last year.
Sgt. Paul E. Cortez, 24, also was given a dishonorable discharge. He will be eligible for parole in 10 years under the terms of his plea agreement.
In his plea agreement, he said he conspired with three other soldiers from the Fort Campbell-based 101st Airborne Division to rape 14-year-old Abeer Qassim al-Janabi. The girl, her parents and a younger sister were all killed.
Earlier Thursday, tears rolled down Cortez's face as he apologized for the rape and murders. He said he could not explain why he took part.
Cortez said this week that former private Steven D. Green raped the girl in front of him; shot her father, mother and sister; and then shot her in the head. He also testified that the soldiers attempted to burn the girl's body; burned their own clothes; and threw the murder weapon, into a canal in an attempt to dispose of the evidence.

1. i'm very good with computers but i'd like to see some action
2. I wouldn't be a good "shock trooper" cause I have panic atacks and might compromise my comrades
3. i'd like a branch with cool sounding rank names and battle dresses!

also, I have an unrelated question, does the military allow a outside item such as a swiss army knife to be carried?

2 questions regarding the 2-year enlistment program with the military.

1. Do all branches of the military offer 2 year enlistment contracts? If not, which ones do and which don't?

2. If I want to serve in multiple branches of the military, can I serve one branch for 2 years active and then instead of going inactive for the remaining 6 years, can I tranfer to a different branch and go active duty with them? If I do this will I lose all the benefits I earned from the first branch I was enlisted in?

I personally think that one must follow his/her conscience and if that means 10 years in the brig then more power to you. Some people say signing up for military service requires a man or a woman to do their part to carry out ANY objective he or she is ordered to do. What about you. What do you think about it? Should soldiers and sea men who refuse to ship out be punished?

Bush also says that Tony Blair's decision to pull British troops out of Iraq is a "sign of progress." Give me your honest thoughts.

How long is each brach of the military's enlistment contract? In other words how long does one have to serve in each branch. I know for the marines, it's 4 years active and 4 years inactive. But what about the rest? Also, what is the shortest enlistment time the military offers? Where can i find out more about all this info? I checked military.com but didn't see anything regarding this question. Thanks

Europeans in 1914 were not the first to misunderstand the horrors of war. When the American Civil War began in 1861, some Northerners thought it would be over by the end of the first year. In fact, many people who lived in Washington D.C., rushed out to see the first major battle, hoping the Union Army would quickly destroy the Confederates. They even packed their carriages with picnic baskets! Like wise, one hundred years later, when the first American troops joined the Korean War in June 1950, people expected them to quickly " wrap things up" and return home for the holidays. AND ALSO, For what kind of causes, If any, might you be willing to fight in war?

I would like to hear your thoughts and/or opinions on the proposition of re-instating the draft for the armed forces. Answers and reasons from those for and against are welcome, I am interested to see the response...

or in any other American war that draft was successful, in what ways was it successful? (like the women had a chance to work where men usually worked, then when the men returned there was a larger workforce, which meant a larger economy, making prices go down.) any other ways that it benefitted us as a whole?


in contrast, how was it not successful or harmful instead. like in the vietnam war (other wars too) how was the draft not successful?

im doing a debate but i cant just say stuff. i have to have solid backed up evidence, like how this kind of stuff succeeded or failed in the past.

hopefully you get the idea and give me some answers. thanks
