I am 22 years old. I have no education other than my HS diploma & my Class B CDL. I drove a school bus for one school year in order to get "free training" for my CDL.
I drove for them from 9/05 until 6/06, 30 hours a week, $12 per hour. No benefits, sick days, holidays, etc. I could have gotten the same training for about $1,500 from a CDL driving school & not had the nightmare of driving the school bus (were we really that bad?).
Since June, I've been driving a truck for a linen service. Two 10 hour days, a day off, two 10 hour days, 2 days off. My days off are Sunday/Monday, plus Thursday.
I get $12 per hour & my employer offers health insurance for $145 per month. They pay $75 per month. The deductibles & co-pays are pretty high. We only get a few paid holidays & only 2 sick days. After a year, you get vacation of .015 hours for every hour worked. In a 2,000 hour year, thats 30 hours off. This job sucks. I need to get a better life. Should I join the military? There's not much else

why not take all felons out of prisons in US and send them to iraq. Fight for their lives like our soldiers are doing. No more three hots and a cot. No more $55,000 per inmate that WE pay for them. If they manage to stay alive, then be set free cause when our poor military guys come home they are usually so physically mamed, mentally distraught, etc., they are unable to pick up where they left off with their families and/or jobs, which may or may not be waiting for them. Is there a law protecting the creeps in prison? Take all the guys on deathrow and let them have a field day over there. What do you think?

That the citizens of the U.S. are in some way obligated to them to continue fighting the insurgency in Iraq for as long as it takes?
I think you guys forget that the Union (the U.S.) is much more important than the military. You are a part of the overall country and therefore your mission is defined by the U.S. tax payer not your patriotism.
We as Americans are not obligated to continue to fund you guys unlimited to fight a war that is at a stale mate. Support the troops or not... the troops do not determine when the war is over...we do and i think, we've had long enough in Iraq.

I need to update my personal survival kit -- what is your latest?

Also need to back up an old friends survival kit from WWII. The minimum is as follows:

1. Sub-machine gun, your favorite.
2. Ammo, much as you think necessary.
3. Case of cigarettes.
4. Case of bourbon
5. Case of chocolate.
6. Case of pantyhose.
7. Case of toilet paper.

My friend's theory: Throughout history, In time of war or disaster, women always have what you need. If he is right the above barter items seem pretty good? But I am wondering if we need to substitute something in place of pantyhose? Are they still the best thing for this kit?

ps. The machine gun is just to protect the survival kit.

I just ask, because when we were in OIF I, we were told by our Commander that as long as it wasn't an artifact and we didn't raid a museum, anything found in the palaces we occupied were fair game. Whatever you could fit in your quad cons that customs deemed appropriate for shipment back, and no contraband, basically. A lot of people brought home fine china, golden trinkets, furniture,simple jewelry and even Persian rugs. Of course, standard items like silk hijabs, mink blankets, portraits of Saddam, and cleaned out hookahs topped the most popular list. When there was still some for the taking , of course wine cellars were raided and consumed too.

My question is, was this looting? Or was it acqusition of the spoils of war? I mean, the palaces were occupied and people had to survive.

My father was recounting his time in the Army doing National Service the other day, and we both thought how it might benefit the UK if school leavers still had to do two years.

This is something I would seriously like to pursue, but how to go about it? With our Armed Forces cut-backs there surely aren't the resources to deal with such a large volume of temporary recruits? How else could they be trained and employed- maybe with military discipline but in a civilian capacity? Do you have any thoughts? I'd like to see then rebuild our once-great Royal Navy, personally!

How can I go about getting the right people hearing my ideas- do I have to stand outside Downing Street waving a 'Bring Back National Service' banner or is there actually someone I can write to?

Thanks!

PS: A big thank you to all of our serving and retired forces personnel and Reservists for your work.

Powell's speech, delivered on February 5, 2003, made the case for the war by presenting U.S. intelligence that purported to prove that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. Wilkerson says the information in Powell's presentation initially came from a document he described as "sort of a Chinese menu" that was provided by the White House.

"(Powell) came through the door ... and he had in his hands a sheaf of papers, and he said, 'This is what I've got to present at the United Nations according to the White House, and you need to look at it,'" Wilkerson says in the program. "It was anything but an intelligence document. It was, as some people characterized it later, sort of a Chinese menu from which you could pick and choose."

"There was no way the Secretary of State was going to read off a script about serious matters of intelligence that could lead to war when the script was basically un-sourced," Wilkerson says.
