Why should our troops be dying just because they can not solve their religious differences that developed over 1500 years ago???????????????

The fact is that It is our troops there that is embolding the enemy! Not Otherwise!

I am wondering if Behind Enemy Lines was an actual event in Bosnia.
If so, when did it happen?
What groups of people are involved?
Or is the movie completely fake or only made to show newer, interesting technology?
Could you history buffs enlighten me?

My husband is stationed in Fort Riley and he is now in Iraq. Before he left we where informed to get a Power of Attorney! So we got a General Power of Attorney because that was what they told him I would need. Now that he is gone no one will talk to me about him because I don't have a Full Power of Attorney!
Q. Why is this only happening in KS.
Q. What can I do!
Q. Who can I complain to about this problem?
I was told by Finance plenty of time that they could not talk to me but I could look at his LES! What the ****! I asked for them to help explain it to me and they said they could not! I called his Rear Detach and they couldn't do much either but e-mail my husband and hope that he gets the time to sign a stupid piece of paper. I also can't go to school because I can't fill out his info on a FAFSA Form because these idiots won't help me find the info I need. Why can I pay all his bills and look at his LES and My Pay I can but they can't talk to me? and the Army is about the Family

I understand you can do this through direct commissioning. I have started the process, but it seems fairly long. Would it be possible to enlist first and then sign up for OCS, or does that require a long bureacratic process as well. If I did enlist and then signed up for OCS, how long would that take?

The company that began making those in 2003 stopped when they realized it wasn't profitable anymore and that Chinese companies were doing the same thing. Does that magnet mean anything? Does it protect a troop within the sniper shot range of a Shiite militiaman? Does it have magical powers to keep a soldier working at a checkpoint from being blown to bits by a roadside bomb made my some moron t-wel wearing insurgent? What does it really mean? I'm serious here. How in the world could that possibly help, simply because you put it on your Expedition on your way to the mall one afternoon.

hubby has been on the ship since tuesday. He has his first inspection next week in his dress whites and got some new "patches" to attach with the name of the ship on em. He was talking to a fellow shipmate in his division and telling him he had no clue where to get the uniform taken care of/ pressed etc...well just then his 1st class superior officer came in and offered to take it for him into where he takes it and said "you are part of the club now i will take it in for you" and so hubby let him handle it. AFter he had 2nd thoughts about this. He is wondering if this was a safe idea or not because he was told not to do "business" with his fellow sailors. Is his superior going to "teach him a lesson"? or do you think he is being sincere and helping him out.

The United Nations charter has a provision which was agreed to by the United States formulated by the United States in fact, after World War II. It says that from now on, no nation can use armed force without the permission of the U.N. Security Council. They can use force in connection with self-defense, but a country can't use force in anticipation of self-defense. Regarding Iraq, the last Security Council resolution essentially said, “Look, send the weapons inspectors out to Iraq, have them come back and tell us what they've found -- then we'll figure it out from there.” The U.S. was impatient, and decided to invade Iraq -- which was all pre-arranged of course. So, the United States went to war, in violation of the charter. Making the war in Iraq an “illegal” war.

I am writing a University report on how antiquities are often smuggled back from warzones for profitable and illegal sale in allied countries (by fleeing refugees rather than service-people, I add hastily).

As a postscript, however, I would like to write about how easy it would be for a soldier /sailor/ aircrew to do the same; when you come home from active service, how hard would it be to smuggle back a small artefact (tennis ball size), or even something threatening like a plundered hand gun or camcorder?

I know lots of WW2 troops brough back 'souvenirs' like Lugers and kettle-top helmets and wondered if this would still be possible today, or is base security too high- what is the basic procedure for tropps returning home?

Note I am interested in the practised security, NOT what is written in the book (if the two differ). Thanks for any help.

I am sorry if have cause offence to anybody here, it is a genuine question for an assignment.

Thanks!

I am a military spouse. I had joined a fairly large military support yahoo group. But all they seemed to do was judge the newbies to the Military lifestyle. So after finally having enough of all they complaining & judgement back and forth I left the group and started my own. My question is, do the military spouses really need another support group out there? I mean really, there is such a flux of information out there what could one more group possibly offer?

The reality of asymetric warfare is that the enemy is free to use any means necessary to win while conventional armies are restricted. Why does the US agree to these rules? How can they win with both hands tied? No war has really been effectively waged since WW2. I agree that those laws prevent some of the most awful attrocities that have happened in the past but the fact of the matter is, war is hell but when you go to war, you should go to win.

It is a mutual agreement to engage in sex. However, if a woman gets pregnant, it is her decision to have an abortion. Even if the man protests and wants to keep it. On the flip side, if the woman wants to keep the baby and the man doesn’t, he simply walks out. (Which I do not condone nor do I find it manly) The woman then sues the crap out of him for child support. Isn’t there something wrong with the pro-choice concept here? Women have all the choice when it comes to berthing a child but men don’t?

Can someone clear this up for me?
