Military - March 2007

division is alot of money maybe in to the billions of dollars. reducing the marine corps to 1 division, would accomplish 2 things. first of all it would save the US govt a whole lot of money. think about it, keep an open mind, how often do amphibious assaults happen? once every 50 years? thats the average. i will correct myself, 1 division for the fleet, and about 2 regiments for embassy duty. why do we need 4 marine divisions? (one in reserve) we have a large army that can accomplish alot of the land fighting. the second thing it will accomplish is that the marines would be more elite since it is a smaller unit. and the last thing is to eliminate alot of the marine top brass and just blend it in with the navy or army. i think navy is more appropriate because the marines already fall under the dept of the navy. with all the money we would save, we can build levees in new orleans that can withstand a category 5 hurricane and feed hungry americans, how many of u agree?

I just get so tired of having my opinions negated by neocons that make all these bizarre accusations.

1st - I wish that we had been successful in the capture of Osama Bin Laden - we were not.

2nd - I do not believe that there were wmd's in Iraq.

3rd - I was a peace-loving person before 9/11 and I want to stay that way.

How does that translate into "wanting the American Troops to lose"?

Which terrorist groups have we definitely stopped? How many more are there?

What does "progress" mean?
Are we close to ending "terrorism" yet?

Is "Support Our Troops" a vague expression of sanctimony with no real meaning?

How does one suggest that I support our troops any more than hoping to see them again?

It's pretty obvious that Pelosi is "willing to work with" Bush as long as he stops being so "Bushie" and starts a firm exit plan.

If you do not support the 12 month strategy, then what do you think is a realistic time frame to end the war?

I am on leave in Indiana right now. I am stationed at Ft. Drum, New York. I just bought a car and plan on driving it back to Ft. Drum. I need several documents to register my vehicle on Ft. Drum but one of the things is a document proving my vehicle had a safety inspection in the state it was registered. Now, safety inspections are apparently commonplace in New York but I have never heard them doing that here in Indiana (where my car is currently registered). What do I do?

Wow what a proffesssional and brave force these are. Have you seen the footage on the news where they are using women and girls as human shields as they search the Palestinian homes?
Keep your heads up though as I'm sure their government will give a perfectly reasonable explanation as to why they need to hide womens skirts.

President Johnson messed the thing up, so congress deciede to fix things. That made things worse. We have one commander in chief and he has made mistakes, but if you check past history they come to their senses and come up with a good plan.
I'm not going mention names because people will accuse me of comparing him to them and he is no where as good.

I joined the Air Force DEP a few months ago and now i've changed my mind about it and don't want to go. I swore in and signed my contracts and everything. How do i get out of it? besides not being eligible anymore (i'd like to avoid pregnancy or shooting myself in the foot), what can i do that won't be considered desertion? i mean, can i just tell my recruiter i don't want to go anymore?

Since you "believe" (or at least say you believe) there were no WMD in Iraq, will you call nancy pelosi either an idiot, or a liar, and say she had been wasting taxpayer money for over ten years (at the time of this quote)

READ HER QUOTE!!!!!


"As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I am keenly aware that the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons is an issue of grave importance to all nations. Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."

Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (Democrat, California)
Statement on US Led Military Strike Against Iraq
December 16, 1998

Is a 50 Calibre the most powerful sniper rifle? I have heard of a possibly made up anti-armour weapon made by barretta or something similar, that fires an armour peircing round that can go through 5 inches of steel. It needs a support, but can go through a tank, those inside and come out the other side. Is this true or is the 50 calibre the most powerful sniper rifle?
