Military - February 2007

Iraq's not near to being secure. The armed forces are barely filling their recruiting quotas. The public is overwhemingly opposed to Iraq. The national debt is reaching $9,000,000,000,000. Iran's army is much tougher than Iraq's insurgents. They are not a direct threat. Time to wake up, GI Joes.

Seriously, when you look at it, is the US army really suited to fighting terrorists or rogue states? When you look at the American forces, they look like they are going to fight a modern version of WWII or the Cold War! Seriously, I mean, why do you need:

- 12 carrier battle groups
- support 3 fighter groups (like the f-22 or f-35 is ever going to lure mujahadeens out of the street or the mountain or the desert)
- 50 nuclear attack submarines and a dozen ballistic missile subs
- about 5000 tanks
- training tactics for "high-intensity war"
- thousands of air superiority fighters, and dozens, if not hundreds of heave bombers

Is that really the best options to fight terrorism, which the Bush administration repeatedly declares it top priority? What could they be doing better right now? I mean, that does not seem like the best option for counter-guerilla warfare.

There was an American documentary shown on Australian television that shows unequivocal evidence from unedited TV news films and other sources that the Pentsgon was not hit by a highjacked jumbo passenger jet but by a cruise missile. See this link for similar material http://www.pentagonstrike.co.uk/flash.htm#Main The primary evidence is that in all the news films there is no wreckage from the alleged Jet. There are also serious problems with the official description as to the attack at the twin towers (strange attachments under planes etc). Is this information widely known in the US? Is there any kind of furor about this? Is there any kind of objective enquiry planned by the new congress?
Terrorists don't have access to cruise missiles, only a few countries do. If I was an American I would certainly want to know who fired a missile at the countries military HQ and not accept a whitewash that is obviously untruthful. Any links to further information would be greatly appreciated

I looked up the figures on deaths attributed to drunk drivers on the MADD website, pretty staggering. This number is much larger than the fatalities that our troops in Iraq are totaling. Everyone is upset and talking about the military fatalities, but no one seems to care or even be aware of what is happening on our highways, why is that ?

Because of nuclear weapons? Let Iran build its weapons and let them use them. If they bomb the USA, then the USA will finally have to reason to fight and bomb Iran. In the meantime, they have their beliefs and their ways. Let the "other countries" take the burden and the load, then maybe they'll appreciate it if the USA does nothing.

This war stuff and BUSH is getting ridiculous.

I think Bush is trigger happey and he wants to get one last dig in, before his presidentail term is expired.

I mean is it all the recruiter pumps it up to be... probably not! I'm sure its not like any ol' 9-5 like they tell you... but I'm just wondering what I can expect when I enter the Air Force. Do other branches really think the Air Force has it the easiest. And how easy it to attend college while enlisted?

Why aren't the neo-nazis singing up in their droves, they should be volunteering? Isn't this their chance to fight and die for their beliefs. I'd like most answers to come from the racists on here.

what does that mean?
all we're doing is delaying their civil war (the end of which is the only hope for stability), and imposing democracy where nobody wants it.
why are we still there?

With racism in Europe and around the world increasing and the neo- nazis on the terraces at football why are they so short of soldiers. Why call for conscription, shouldn't there be enough volunteers?
