I keep hearing that congress doesn't wants to cut funding toward the Iraq war. Now we know that President Bush is going to send in the extra troops no matter what congress does. That means that the troops will be sent in with less then what they need. I thought that congress supported the troops. Sending troops in with less then what they need doesn't sound like support to me. Can someone explain to me what is going on. I'm so confused!

Sergeant Who Posed Nude Taken Off Duty
By ELIZABETH WHITE
AP
SAN ANTONIO (Feb. 15) - An Air Force drill sergeant who posed nude for Playboy magazine has been removed from active duty, she and the Air Force said Wednesday. Michelle Manhart, who appeared in a six-page spread in Playboy's February issue, said she got word Friday that she was removed from "extended active duty" and was also told that she was demoted from staff sergeant to senior airman.

"I'm disappointed in our system," Manhart told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "They went too far with it."

Manhart said that she was reverted to her Air National Guard status and that she submitted a "resignation" to the Guard, which she said is pending. Manhart was a member of the Iowa Air National Guard before going on extended active duty.

Oscar Balladares, a spokesman for Lackland Air Force Base, confirmed that Manhart was removed from extended active duty Friday but said Lackland did not discharge her.

"She was removed from active duty status, and thus reverted to National Guard status," Balladares said. "It is not up to the Air Force -- it is not our jurisdiction to discharge her."

Lt. Col. Greg Hapgood, a spokesman for the Iowa National Guard, said that because the Guard did not have "documentation of her separation" from the Air Force, it did not have her on duty status.

would they get demoted from active duty instead of going to Iraq?

It appears like N Korea has agreed to a settlement and will dismantel the reactor. Do you think this can be accomplised with the problem in Iraq?

Though he has been proved wrong in the case of Iraq..And do you justify a powerful country like America going into war with weaker country like Iran and devastate it, with the support of its Allies..That could be another human massacre..

I'm researching military pay around the world for a sociology paper I'm writing for college.

I've searched thru hundreds of websites for R.O.K. military pay charts, and the like, but can't locate the correct information. Wikipedia was useless, as was CIA Factbook and military.com, globalsecurity.com, etc.

I found a site with this information about nine years ago, but, can't find it now.

Please, can anyone refer me to a good link (that works) so I can finish my research for this paper? Thanks in advance.

So many 'real-life' generals have ACTUALLY BEEN on Stargate SG1 - I'm wondering if that's how they cope mentally with what they have to deal with in REALITY - 'no smoke without fire' and all that.

Are we being told 'hypothetically' what is happening in reality through various SCi FI tv shows - as a way of dealing with the obvious mental strain of government/military personnel of having to continually keep secret any such POSSIBLE huge secrets?

I was wondering in case of an emergency or something if this would be possible. I'm interested in other planes too, such as smaller private planes and larger planes like the 777.

Thanks a million!

I'm currently on a year tour overseas, and I'm getting really jaded with a lot of stuff. I love the Army, I feel really proud to be doing what I'm doing, and at such an early age (21). But the thing is, I can't pass my APFT. I haven't since I left AIT a year and a half ago -- and when I did, it was by one second on the run. I've tried to push myself, and work to pass it, but the "It's all in your head!" comments keep coming. Whether it is or it isn't, I've got three failed APFT's in my OMPF, back to back. I want to move on with my life -- I'm really into video editing, and I have a natural gift with it. I want to pursue an education, and if I get out on a General under Honorable Conditions or better, then I qualify for the Hazelwood Act in Texas (paid tuition). I'm ready to move on with my life, but my NCO/CO support channel here don't want me to get out -- Apparently I'm some really great asset, offered to forge DA-31's -- Should I push for seperation, or stick for 2 more years?

"One of the reasons why I never lost [even] a single battle was that I never was crazed by a victory that I have scored; in fact, I would envy my foe whom I have defeated and would try thinking what would he do to learn from his mistakes. Put yourself in your opponent's conditions before considering your palns. Make your victories increase your prudence and let people's admiration of you increase your modesty...and let the enemes' fright from you augment both; your prudence and modesty."

ok help me out people. the dates the army gave us for my husband's r&r leave (from iraq) was originally scheduled for march 13-april 2 (includes travel time). i fought and worked really hard at my job to get these days off, which i finally did, due to quite a bit of shift trading.
now the army tells my husband that they moved it up two days, so instead he reports for leave on the 11th. he seems to think that i shouldn't worry about me working the 11th or the 12th (i have the 13th and later off) because it will probably take that long to get home. he says it took two days to get over just to kuwaitt from the states, and when his brother came home for leave it took him three days to get back.
from your experience do you think i'd be ok? it is very important to me (and him obviously) that i don't work while he's home (i work super long days and come home dead tired). any input would be great. thank you!

I pose this question in view that so many millions of lives been lost, changed because of this one man. Not to mention many famous men who stood up to fight at opposite camps.

There might be others if Hitler didn't exist but will the effect such drastic?

How would WW2 have been different? Would Japan have been defeated? Would the Soviet Union have taken all of Europe? How would the cold war have turned out? Would there have been a conventional war between the US and the Soviet Union? Would it have been the US that suffered an economic colapse in the 90s? Would we all be speaking Russian now? Would the world be communist?

Would it have been better or worse if atomic energy and atomic weapons had never been discovered?

Looking forward to your thoughts and ideas on this because I'm writing a novel in which atomic energy and atomic weapons had in fact never been discovered - a kind of alternative reality. Thanks in advance for what I hope will be in depth comments on this.
