Military - February 2007

"I come to this debate, Mr. Speaker, as one at the end of 10 years in office on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, where stopping the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction was one of my top priorities. I applaud the President on focusing on this issue and on taking the lead to disarm Saddam Hussein. ... Others have talked about this threat that is posed by Saddam Hussein. Yes, he has chemical weapons, he has biological weapons, he is trying to get nuclear weapons."

Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (Democrat, California)

Can anyone help me? My father recently passed away and he served in the Navy for 4 years from 1958 to 1962.

I have a sister that is being told he is eligible for $20,000 in insurance just because he was in the military.

I told her that's a bunch of S***. He did not retire and as far as I know had no SDB. I have searched and searched and can find no information other than possibly up to $600 for burial and funeral expenses.

I am right aren't I? The only thing is she is not taking the passing of Pop too well and I just need proof for her to drop it.

I am at home running an eco-friendly business while I have to smell cigarettes through the vent coming into my apartment - and listen to a video game with the volume turned up so all I hear is a bass noise like in a car. I get no peace my senses are violated and the second hand smoke is making me irritable and crazy. I don't know what to tell this guy - his dog barks whenhe's not home too! I don't want to move - I love my apt - what should I say - or should I say anything?

Reagan didn't know that the mike was turned on when he made this remark, but it got out over the air.

He later excused himself by saying that he was joking.

Is this any way for a presidnet to joke?

Does anybody have any links?

I went through TAP class before I was discharged and the TAP instructor clearly said that I would still get my GI Bill benefits if I reenlisted already before I recieved my oth discharge. I applied for my GI Benefits a month ago, and the VA wants to see my Certificate of honorable discharge from 2002. Is this the correct process, if so how would I be able to get that Certificate

I'm a military wife, former military myself. My husband just left for Iraq a few days ago. He'll be there for a full year, with only a 2 week R&R around halfway through. I moved to North Carolina to be with him in October of 2006, so needless to say I don't have many friends around here. I know he'll be in as much contact with me and our daughter as he can, but it will still be hard. I'm not working because I have our 6 week old little girl, and we don't want to put her in daycare yet.

What do you do/have you done to make the time seem like it goes by faster?

Yet again we have another friendly fire incident in Iraq!!! has anybody seen and heard the full tape? There was NO confirmation that there was NO friendlies in the area where the P-51s were, both pilots thought they saw "orange panals" which they then changed to "orange rockets" which is the friendly colour! there were 4 vehichles in a convy evenly spaced. Is it me or would that not ring alarm bells saying that they are friendlies??


Yet again the Americans have killed a Brit in a war zone! I now think it is time to call ALL OUR FORCES HOME, and let the Americans do it on their own. This can do no good in relations with them.


What do you think?

In Russia 18 year olds are not allowed to go for actual combat in Chechnya, usually they don't send them until age 21. I'm certainly not defending Russia, but I just don't understand why we allow an unexperienced 18 year old to be sent into the "meat grinder."

We here in the UK get to hear of the occassions when they have shot up British forces but never get to hear if they have done the same to their own.

I'm not interested in blame diatribes because being ex forces I know of the problems and each incident has to be looked into on its own merits.

When America does the exact same thing. It invades other countries and massacres civilians. In Vietnam they murdered women and children at My Lai and dropped napalm on groups of children. They continue to massacre men, women and children on a daily basis in Iraq and they torture prisoners in Abu Grahab and Guantanamo. In latin American countries such as Chile and Nicaragua the CIA has removed democratically elected goverments and replaced them with right wing despots. How counld these hypocrites try the leaders of Nazi Germany. For the record I am of the belief that the Nazis were criminals and deserved the end they got I just think the US was hypocritical to take a moral highground at Nuremberg

I am asking a very specific question - if we leave without achieving our goal of a peaceful, relatively stable government that can defend itself from external and internal enemies, what will the consequences be for the US?

I'm not asking how we got there. But what will happen if we leave.

What say you? Thanks.
