I'm considering all the different branches and which one I want to join. I'm looking into the MOS's the National Guard offers and they say they are in dire need of a specific one I'm interested and will give 20,000 dollars. Since they need it, and if I score well on their tests (I will score very well), and there are no requirements, its pretty reasonable to assume I'll probably get it, right? Does it matter if I'm only 17?

Are there any still out there?

If you are one of these or both, please explain.

Do NOT answer if you are anti-war/anti-Bush. We all know about that stance.


(PS I'm anti both).

Added Rep. Geoff Davis (news, bio, voting record), R-Ky., a West Point graduate who was a flight commander with the Army's 82nd Airborne: "This nonbinding resolution serves no purpose other than pacifying the Democrats' political base and lowering morale in our military."

Thank you Democrats. Let's not forget "comforting the enemy."

i asked him if he's been deployed to iraq..he told me at first he's not telling me the places he was deployed to. we met online and feel so close despite the distance. but when i ask him abt this stuff, i feel like his withdrawn or something. aren't ppl in the military allowed to talk where they were deployed to? sounds strange to me.

I believe that if we hadn’t went to war when we did there would have been a lot more attacks on the USA like 911 or worse.
And that we are still there to clean up the mess, if we pull out to soon the other countries would be mad at us for not cleaning up.
And how many remember the father G..Bush said when we were in dissert storm. (if we go in to remove Saudom, it will be another Vietnam) dose anyone remember this?
and everyone said why didn't we get sadom out while we were ther.
NOW we have and no one likes it.

NO one wants war, but no one want attacks on the USA

They seem to have a lot to say here in America but I don't think either one of them have the guts to say they think the war is a lost cause to the servicemen fighting for their rights to say it.

I have always thought that if you feel strongly about a mission that our military is involved with, you should be more than willing to fight in it or have your friends/children/relatives fight and die in it.

This question is mainly for those of you who are for the war in Iraq. Are you willing to fight and die in Iraq for the cause?

Here is a list of just a "few" of the crimes President Bush has committed....

1) Seizing power to wage wars of aggression in defiance of the U.S. Constitution, the U.N. Charter and the rule of law; carrying out a massive assault on and occupation of Iraq, a country that was not threatening the United States, resulting in the death and maiming of hundereds of thousands of Iraqis, and thousands of U.S. G.I.s.

2) Lying to the people of the U.S., to Congress, and to the U.N., providing false and deceptive rationales for war.

3) Authorizing, ordering and condoning direct attacks on civilians, civilian facilities and locations where civilian casualties were unavoidable.

4) Instituting a secret and illegal wiretapping and spying operation against the people of the United States through the National Security Agency.

5) Threatening the independence and sovereignty of Iraq by belligerently changing its government by force and assaulting Iraq in a war of aggression.

6) Authorizing, ordering and condoning assassinations, summary executions, kidnaping, secret and other illegal detentions of individuals, torture and physical and psychological coercion of prisoners to obtain false statements concerning acts and intentions on governments and individuals and violating within the United States, and by authorizing U.S. forces and agents elsewhere, the rights of individuals under the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

7) Making, ordering and condoning false statements and propaganda about the conduct of foreign governments and individuals and acts by U.S. government personnel; manipulating the media and foreign governments with false information; concealing information vital to public discussion and informed judgment concerning acts, intentions and possession, or efforts to obtain weapons of mass destruction in order to falsely create a climate of fear and destroy opposition to U.S. wars of aggression and first strike attacks.

8) Violations and subversions of the Charter of the United Nations and international law, both a part of the "Supreme Law of the land" under Article VI, paragraph 2, of the Constitution, in an attempt to commit with impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes in wars and threats of aggression against Afghanistan, Iraq and others and usurping powers of the United Nations and the peoples of its nations by bribery, coercion and other corrupt acts and by rejecting treaties, committing treaty violations, and frustrating compliance with treaties in order to destroy any means by which international law and institutions can prevent, affect, or adjudicate the exercise of U.S. military and economic power against the international community.

9) Acting to strip United States citizens of their constitutional and human rights, ordering indefinite detention of citizens, without access to counsel, without charge, and without opportunity to appear before a civil judicial officer to challenge the detention, based solely on the discretionary designation by the Executive of a citizen as an "enemy combatant."

10) Ordering indefinite detention of non-citizens in the United States and elsewhere, and without charge, at the discretionary designation of the Attorney General or the Secretary of Defense.

11) Ordering and authorizing the Attorney General to override judicial orders of release of detainees under INS jurisdiction, even where the judicial officer after full hearing determines a detainee is wrongfully held by the government.

12) Authorizing secret military tribunals and summary execution of persons who are not citizens who are designated solely at the discretion of the Executive who acts as indicting official, prosecutor and as the only avenue of appellate relief.

13) Refusing to provide public disclosure of the identities and locations of persons who have been arrested, detained and imprisoned by the U.S. government in the United States, including in response to Congressional inquiry.

14) Use of secret arrests of persons within the United States and elsewhere and denial of the right to public trials.

15) Authorizing the monitoring of confidential attorney-client privileged communications by the government, even in the absence of a court order and even where an incarcerated person has not been charged with a crime.

16) Ordering and authorizing the seizure of assets of persons in the United States, prior to hearing or trial, for lawful or innocent association with any entity that at the discretionary designation of the Executive has been deemed "terrorist."

17) Engaging in criminal neglect in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, depriving thousands of people in Louisiana, Mississippi and other Gulf States of urgently needed support, causing mass suffering and unnecessary loss of life.

18) Institutionalization of racial and religious profiling and authorization of domestic spying by federal law enforcement on persons based on their engagement in noncriminal religious and political activity.
19) Refusal to provide information and records necessary and appropriate for the constitutional right of legislative oversight of executive functions.

20) Rejecting treaties protective of peace and human rights and abrogation of the obligations of the United States under, and withdrawal from, international treaties and obligations without consent of the legislative branch, and including termination of the ABM treaty between the United States and Russia, and rescission of the authorizing signature from the Treaty of Rome which served as the basis for the International Criminal Court.

May God Bless America!

Israel has often boasted of its spectacular victories against ill armed Arab regimes.But if encouraged to launch an invasion of Iran, could the IDF hope to prevail against a military that is regarded as one of the most experienced and disciplined in the region?

While talking about Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we forget the Pearl Harbor attacks by Japan. Nevertheless, later on America itself became an aggressor up on poor and weak nations in lust of colonization and exploitation. I wish to see American Foreign policy at the status quo of pre World War ll.

they need them free to fight a war. Soldiers die all the time to preserve the kind soft US image.

Take Fallujah for example...

Taking a city like Fallujah in a sound military way means telling the civilians to leave, then leveling the insurgent criminals without fear of hurting innocents.

In our world though our priority isn't to defeat the enemy, but to show restraint for the media. Instead, of tell people to leave, why no have them stay in the middle of the fight. How about the insurgents use the as shields while they kill young Americans who walk house to house, knocking on each potential deathtrap?

Is it really hard to see that the majority of Iraq casualties were victims of the insurgents disregard for the lives of even their own people? Is it hard to see that already inflated civilian casualty statistics are saturated with enemy combatants who hide amoung the populous until your son, daughter, friend, mother or father walks by?

If we (US) pulled out, it seems that the killing would continue and most likely escalate and for what? Are the Iraqis ever going to stand up or are they so uncivilized and beat down that they need to be controlled by a Sadam replacement and until that happens the senseless killing will continue? This is a question.

Russian Military Analysts are reporting today that President Putin has issued orders to the Russian Interior Ministry to ‘immediately’ dispatch Spetsnaz (Special Forces) troops to Iran to protect ‘vital’ Russian assets, including the Bushehr Nuclear power plant.
These reports state that this order from President Putin to the Interior Ministry includes the phrase, “against any and all hostile forces”, and which analysts state is a direct threat to US and Israeli Forces currently massing for their planned attack and invasion of Iran.

I'm a Marine, and I really hate the fact that the media is involved in Iraq and Afghan, and quite simply, in any war. They cannot be showing all that stuff, because they are always gonna oppose to that war and they will want us to get out since all they see is violence and death. If the media is gonna be showing everything by going to the enemies soil, Americans are always gonna be like they are with Iraq, they want us out and now our enemies are seeing a sign of weakness. We are fighitng with no support, i know people say they support us, but i'm saying they don't support what we're doing. And to me, how can you support us if you don't support what we do??
We won WW2 with everyones support, but answer me this:
Do you think Americans at that time, would have supported WW2 if the media would have shown live footage of US Soldiers landing in Omaha Beach?
I don't think anybody would have supported that, and it's understandable. But Americans need to remember, freedom ain't free.
