With Russia blasting the US for wanting to deploy anti-ballistic missiles in Poland and Czechoslovakia, could this be seen as a step into another bitter Cold War? Russia is also intent on creating ballistic missiles that can overcome any defense the US currently has in its arsenal.

I have a ton of these things and can't seem to give them away. Looking to send them to a soldier in Iraq who will, in turn, give them to Iraqi children. Anyone out there have any advice?

(soon to be ex) husband went UA from the marines. I was told the military will track me down looking for him by pulling my credit report and dmv record to get my new address to question me.

In 1995 there were 1 million Tutsis massacred over a period of just 3 months by Hutu militias. This was the most intense genocide in history in terms of deaths per day. The West pulled its forces out and allowed this to happen. I am not just having a go at the US as the Hutu army had been supplied by France so obviously the French are guilty. Its just that America tries to act as World policeman only in countries that have oil and in countries that dont have oil such as Rwanda and Sudan, where the worst ongoing humanitarian crisis in the world today is taking place, the US will stand back and allow genocide to happen. In the case of Rwanda the US and Britain actually vetoed intervention by UN forces. I believe that this was because Rwanda didn't have any oil for them to steal

I am so sad that you call us "civilians" like we are beneath you or something? I am sooo hurt that every military wife thinks they have it harder than any other person in this world. Being in the military is just like working anywhere else in this country, except you make more money for a lot easier positions and you get more money for BREEDING!!! I can't believe what this world is coming to.. The men who enter the military say they want to protect our country but yet everytime someone says they don't like how the military operates they are really mad at us "civilians" for standing up for ourselves. We are not beneath you just because I or my husband does not want to go into the military. Careers are personal choices and you could die on any job site not just from being in the military! It is probably really hard not seeing your husband for so long, but thats part of the duty as being a military wife I guess, or so I am told.
I pray every night that Bush would send the wives over seas

* Remember , FAIRNESS IS THE BASE FOR PEACE.
* Their presedent found an excuse(according to him!) to invade Afganistan, before finishing from there, he pretended his excuse to invade Iraq, now he is looking for one to invade Iran even though he hasn't finished with Iraq.
* His actions r disasterous for his nations as well as the others in the world.
* I think he is sick & cann't feel good & have rest without seeing restless in other parts of the world.
* Please give him more attention ,so he feels more important, & hope to improve his health state.
* Let him interest in improving the life of his nation , leave others living in peace & stop stirring their lives.

We actually started a war because we thought that Iraq had WMD and it turns out that they didn't,but there are plenty of countries that do have them,why aren't we fighting them,and besides us,what other nation has ever used a WMD against another nation (we dropped 2 on Japan).I spent 16 years in the army (infantry),so I know a little about the military and how it works,there isn't a man on the planet who will peacefully accept the explanation that you just killed his entire family through collateral damage and he be okay with it,we create terrorists every time we kill someone's mother,father,sister,brother or child in our effort to get the ''bad guy'',we've got to find another way to go about our business or we will only continue to make extremists more extreme.

is it safe to host US bases in your countries? isn't that you'll likely be a targe in case a war broke out?

Im still lost as to how the Iraqis were a direct threat to the US (and please dont pull out tired lines like they MAY have had WMD's). I can name MANY countries that DO have WMD's ........... I dont see us invading them anytime soon.

I specifically want to know what clear and imminent danger Iraq posed to the US that made it worth us sending over 3000 soldiers to their deaths for.

How far do we go to combat the War in the Middle East..?

Would an all out military invasion of Iran be in order...a boycott...increased border patrols of Iran...other..?

The military command in Baghdad denied, however, that any newly smuggled Iranian weapons were behind the five U.S. military helicopter crashes since Jan. 20 - four that were shot out of the sky by insurgent gunfire.

A fifth crash has tentatively been blamed on mechanical failure. In the same period, two private security company helicopters also have crashed but the cause was unclear.

The deadly and highly sophisticated weapons the U.S. military said it traced to Iran are known as "explosively formed penetrators," or EFPs.

The presentation was the result of weeks of preparation and revisions as U.S. officials put together a package of material to support the Bush administration's claims of Iranian intercession on behalf of militant Iraqis fighting American forces.

During the second world war did any soldiers tape/attach two magazines together to make reloading easier?

So they'd tape them facing opposite each other, simply flip and you have a full mag. Easy! ^_^

Thanks, need any more details just ask!

What does it mean to live on post or off post? If you live on post does that mean that you live with all the military people in an area where there are schools, shops, and etc........Then when deployed you go to Iraq and battle there.

Is there anything you soldiers can tell us, as people, about your expierence in Iraq that can help us understand what is really going on in the Middle East. Our president says one thing the government says another. The Media says one thing, reality shows, another. I feel one way, strongly and my neighbor feels another. Most say Peace, the powers that be say War.

What happened to the days like in WW2 when all the men in america shut down everything to either help in the war effort or go fight. And don't give me this crap about we don't believe in the war. That is not what america is about. I don't know if we should stay or leave Iraq, but I do know that is where we are and we aren't leaving any time soon. And don't question me I am serving to this day and have been to Iraq. And have seen. Yes it is a diffrent war diffrent time, and the war is fought in a diffrent way. That dosent change the fact that this country is still at war. And real american men should step up to any call for our commander and cheif. I dont care if you like bush or not. I didnt like Clinton, that dosent mean I would not have fought for him. Where please tell me where are the real american men?
